High-throughput Screening (HTS)
A process of assaying a large number of compounds against biological targets.
Up to 100,000 compounds can be analyzed in a day. Robots can usually prepare and analyze many plates simultaneously.

Summary
The use of fragment based drug design accompanied by different means of detection could increase the chance of finding new medical entities.
Site directed ligand discovery and fragment based lead discovery are still in their infancy, but the success of these emerging approaches could success.
No single technology will suffice, and the combination of HTS, site directed , and fragment-based lead discovery will likely become increasingly important.
