Introduction

This course is intended to cover the basic principles, methodologies and current practices of High Throughput Technologies (HTT) for chemists and chemistry users.  It will focus on the needs of those interested in materials discovery and development.

This course is organised with the Chemistry Innovation Knowledge Transfer Network.

Benefits to you and your organisation

The application of HTT has become the mainstay of chemical discovery and development towards new commercial products within the pharmaceutical and catalysts areas. Its use in other areas such as polymers, materials, dyes, fine chemicals, cosmetics, foodstuffs etc has not been so widespread, mainly because of a perception of undue cost and seeming inappropriateness of application. This course aims to put in perspective the advantages and pitfalls of the use of HTT.

This course will demonstrate the exciting possibilities of HTT to discover, develop and study chemistry at unprecedented speeds, together with accuracy and precision. It will present new ways of looking at familiar chemistries and areas of study previously inaccessible by conventional means.

Who should attend?

This interactive course is for anyone in the chemical and chemical using sciences who wants more in-depth knowledge of HT technologies and how they can benefit research and development, leading to faster throughput and more efficient business effectiveness. This course would be particularly useful for those in the materials, catalyst and formation industries. Full supporting notes will be provided to all participants.
