One of the greatest attributes of the high-throughput screening facility at UIUC is the unique molecules being entered into the facility from the world-class chemistry being performed right on campus.  In addition to the compounds donated from fine chemical companies, these compounds  provide novel structures and scaffolds for screening.  Synthesized compounds that were once resigned to sit on shelves collecting dust until properly disposed are now finding new uses as novel screening compounds.  Through screening at the HTSF, intra- and inter-university collaborations have been fostered between chemists, who can synthesize the hit compounds and further derivatives and biologists, who can better probe the utility of the synthesized small molecules in biological systems.

Compound submission at the HTSF provides a unique opportunity to have your compound screened in numerous assays.  If you wish to submit compounds, please review our compound submission guidelines.
