Notes:
Advanced software is the key to successful laboratory automation. This article first describes a process known as high throughput screening used in the discovery of new drugs. The automation of high throughput screening is then outlined at three different scales of investment and resultant throughput. Finally, a comprehensive software architecture is presented. This architecture addresses the key concerns of end users: reliability, flexibility, modularity and ease of use.
