Drug Discovery

Solutions Built for Drug Discovery

Drug discovery workflows are defined by speed, iteration, and scale. From early compound management through assay development and large-scale screening, discovery teams must execute complex workflows repeatedly while adapting to evolving biology and chemistry.

HighRes has deployed automation, liquid handling, and software into drug discovery laboratories worldwide, supporting workflows that range from early-stage benchtop experiments to fully integrated, high-throughput screening environments.

HighRes Drug Discovery Experience

Drug discovery spans the identification, validation, and optimization of compounds with therapeutic potential. Modern discovery relies on multi-step laboratory workflows that must generate consistent, high-quality data at scale.

As throughput increases and assay complexity grows, manual processes introduce variability, limit reproducibility, and slow decision-making. Automation enables discovery teams to standardize execution, increase throughput, and confidently compare results across experiments, teams, and sites. HighRes has extensive experience delivering automation and lab orchestration for drug discovery workflows across hundreds of labs globally.

Compound Management

Compound management workflows require precise liquid handling, accurate tracking, and careful contamination control. Errors at this stage can compromise entire screening campaigns or waste valuable compound libraries.

Cell Culture

Cell culture workflows require consistent environmental control, gentle handling, and repeatable timing. Manual variation can introduce stress, contamination, or drift that impacts cell health, assay reliability, and downstream results.

Assay Development and Screening

High-throughput screening workflows demand speed, repeatability, and coordination across multiple instruments. These workflows often involve thousands to millions of samples, placing unique demands on liquid handling precision, scheduling, and recovery.
