High Throughput Chemistry and New Technologies Group

The advancement of high throughput chemistry is dependent upon the creative collaboration of chemists and technologists in their drive to accelerate process and product innovation. 

The aims of the "High Throughput Chemistry and New Technologies" Group are to:  

• create a forum in which chemists and technologists can interact to advance HTC and its applications  
• provide an opportunity for members of the Group to increase their knowledge and to enhance their professional capacity by holding meetings 
• encourage networking, the exchange of information and the dissemination of results amongst members of the Specialist Interest Group  
• assist in the public understanding of the social, educational and economical importance of high throughput chemistry and new technologies  
• identify academics, corporate leaders and other individuals who are willing to participate in the work of the High Throughput Chemistry and New Technologies Group        

Scope  
The activities and interests of the Group include all areas of high throughput chemistry, from synthesis to work-up, purification and analysis and will include data handling and manipulation across all phases of the process.  

For example, the research of novel:  

• solid phase organic synthesis  
• solid supported reagents and resin capture methodologies  
• resins and materials  
• technologies for solid and/or solution phase synthesis  
• high throughput methodologies and technologies for process research and development, including DoE  
• technologies for high throughput purification, analysis and data manipulation        

By placing chemists at the interface with a variety of scientific disciplines, the High Throughput and New Technologies Group aim to have influence beyond the traditional boundaries of chemistry and promote chemistry to non-chemists.
