Chemical libraries (or compound collections/sets) are one of the essential components for research areas of chemical biology and medicinal chemistry. Chemical libraries are collections of small organic compounds, usable in drug discovery and other industrial processes.
For the selection of new compounds, we employ advanced cheminformatic tools. High degree of chemical diversity is one of the fundamental requirements for chemical library used in high throughput screening (HTS). Conversely, we sort and compile the compounds with similar properties (structural, physicochemical, pharmacological, etc.) into smaller, focused sub-libraries also called subsets. By utilizing such specialized subsets, higher economic and time efficiency of the biological activity testing can be achieved.
Our sample collection grows dynamically, and almost every day the sample count is expanding. The highest possible quality of the individual samples in the library is essential for providing reliable and reproducible screening results. Compound integrity in time is assured by optimal storage conditions (-20 °C, nitrogen atmosphere) and gentle handling conditions (limiting freeze-thaw cycles, limited exposure to atmospheric environment, protection of light-sensitive samples from daylight, etc.). Identity of the chemical samples is assured by following strict rules for registration and handling, which contain a series of security checkpoints to prevent unwanted sample confusion.
