High-Throughput Experimentation (HTE) Software for Drug Discovery

Description: HTE is a field of chemistry that expanded exponentially in the past five years, and most pharmaceutical companies are currently using it in their workflows. This methodology allows multi-parameter optimisation of chemical reactions but also synthesis of multiple compounds (96 to 384) on a small-scale using plate chemistry. Combined with the implementation of Direct-to-Biology (D2B) approaches, which involves the direct testing of non-purified mixtures, biological data is obtained faster. The combination of these methods greatly improves the Design, Make, Test, and Analyse (DMTA) cycle.

Summary: The University of Dundee is procuring software for high-throughput experimentation in drug discovery. The requirement is a cloud-based design platform accessed through a secure web interface, supporting scalable chemistry workflows and reducing infrastructure overhead. It will integrate with a University of Dundee-hosted virtual machine for secure data exchange and computational workflows. The wider purpose is to support multi-parameter optimisation of chemical reactions, small-scale synthesis of multiple compounds using plate chemistry, and Direct-to-Biology testing of non-purified mixtures, helping to accelerate the Design, Make, Test and Analyse cycle. The service includes vendor-provided maintenance and updates, while server-side installation will be managed by the university’s data management and computational chemistry teams, with network provisioning support. Delivery is in Dundee.
