2 FORWARD AND ACKNOWLEDGMENTS HighTech Business Decisions conducted the market research and wrote the report, High Throughput Screening 2012: Improved Screening, Adapted Technologies and Enhance Assays, to provide a comprehensive market analysis of the high throughput screening (HTS) market worldwide. The research was specifically designed to understand HTS users perceptions, motivations, current practices, and future plans in regards to targets, target types, assays, assay development, cell-based assays, HCS, detection modes, microplate formats, outsourcing, budgets, and other issues impacting current HTS operations. The complete analysis, based on both user and supplier primary research, includes market size and growth, major players, user strategies and requirements, trends and technologies, and users future plans. In-depth data collected from both users and suppliers allow for an objective and thorough analysis. We thank the 67 respondents from pharmaceutical, biotechnology, academic, and institute HTS laboratories, and HTS supplier companies, who took the time to share their insights, opinions, and future plans with us. We thank our sponsoring companies, who supported this project with their ideas, suggestions, and funding for the first few months of this five-month project. report: The following analysts and staff made important contributions to this research and Analysts Jennifer Hartigan, Ph.D. Helen Nicely, Ph.D. Lynne Sopchak, Ph.D. Staff William Downey, MBA Dawn Miles, MBA Respondent interviews and analysis Respondent interviews Respondent interviews Project management, analysis, and report Project management, analysis, and production We hope that our clients obtain significant value from this report to help ensure the success of their future business.
