2.3.6 High-throughput screening

Course subject(s) Module 2. Conversion Methods

This unit will present to you the groundbreaking technique that solved the bottleneck of Directed Evolution approaches in protein engineering: High-throughput screening. Manual screening of millions of clones used to be done a hundred clones at a time and took a part of a career. Modern (high-through put) screening equipment can screen several thousand clones per second, so screening millions of clones takes a part of an afternoon.

Find out how this fascinating technology works in the video and how we can even speed up high-throughput screening even further.
