How long does it take to test compounds?
Actual assay screening time (compound testing) is dependent on the type of assay: for biochemical assay formats, 5 days; for cell-based screens, 3 weeks. Assay development can take from 2 weeks to several months depending on the stage of development and the ease of conversion to 384-well SBS plate format. Once your screen has been adapted to HTS, it is only a matter of days before data is uploaded and available for viewing. After application for screening, CCG staff will contact your lab about initial meeting(s) to determine time lines and suitability of the screen for HTS development.
