Webinar
Data analysis and compound handling
Webinar Summary:
Compound Management and Data Analysis are key elements in the High Throughput Screening (HTS) workflow able to respond to various challenges faced during each and every phase of an HTS campaign.
Thanks to the experience arising from 20 years of services supporting research organizations and proprietary projects in the field of drug discovery and active natural products identification, Axxam brings together the expertise and infrastructure necessary to respond to clients’ diverse needs effectively and efficiently.
This webinar aims to give a comprehensive overview of the workflows and practices adopted by Axxam’s Compound Management/Data Analysis Unit in response to the challenges of HTS, with a special focus on the “leitmotif” behind: a strong and adaptable IT infrastructure that unites the core HTS functions of compound management, automation, and data analysis.
