High throughput synthesis techniques create large numbers of samples to be analysed and it is vital that the required screening and characterisation steps are also undertaken using a fast high throughput approach. This involves the design and use of unique sample arrays that allow the many different compositions synthesised to be analysed in a rapid manner for a specific required behaviour. As the screening and characterisation techniques are often automated, Ilika has developed a range of customised software for the control of these procedures as well as for the treatment of the large datasets generated.
