Abstract

Robust high-throughput screening (HTS) approaches for discovering new chemical entities are desirable for research and translation. Applications for which high-throughput (HT) methods are particularly required also include the screening of potential therapeutics for drug discovery and development, profiling of biofluids for disease biomarker discovery, and clinical diagnostics. Complementing the demand for HTS from specific application areas are substantial technological advancements in the fields of automation, microfluidics, and ambient ionization that facilitate highly automated and sophisticated analytical workflows. The time period spanning 2000-2025 has witnessed a significant expansion in the mass spectrometry (MS) capabilities and technology. This has included novel ionization approaches that can achieve rapid analysis with minimal solvent and sample consumption, while retaining high sensitivity and specificity in the absence of chromatography. Despite the demand for HTS methods and the well-documented analytical capabilities of MS, optical methods dominate as the HTS detection methods of choice. This perspective provides an overview of the evolution of HTS-MS over the last 25 years, focusing on emerging approaches that also provide efficient and sustainable workflows that compete with optical detection. Additionally, this perspective will highlight challenges in the field that may hinder widespread adoption and consider lessons from the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as the impact of sustainability on the future of HTS-MS and analytical chemistry.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
