The High Throughput Screening and Liquid Handling (HTS) Core is equipped with advanced automation platforms, including the Echo 650 and Biomek i5 (Beckman), integrated with a centrifuge, temperature controller, and mixer. These systems enable fully automated, high-throughput small molecule screening and liquid handling.
The HTS Core maintains in-house compound libraries comprising:
- FDA-approved drugs
- Epigenetic modulators
- Preclinical compounds
- Nucleoside analogs
We support translational research for all USC schools, with a focus on therapeutic development and therapeutic target validation. Our services include: 1) High throughput drug screen, 2) Automated and contactless drug dispensing, 3) High-throughput liquid handling for molecular biology applications; and 4) Assay development and optimization.
