With more than 30 affiliated high-throughput screening platforms and medicinal chemistry research groups at partner sites in nine European countries, EU-OPENSCREEN provides external researchers worldwide with access to leading technologies to explore and develop their own bioactive compounds.<\/p>\n

For the highly complex process of automated storage of substances dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) at \u201320\u00b0C, LVL SAFE\u00ae 2D Tubes and racks from LVL technologies, as well as the LVL SAFE\u00ae 8-Channel and 96-Channel Capper\/Decapper, are used. Thanks to the excellent quality and tightness of the tubes, the reliable readability and error-free nature of the codes, and the exceptional compatibility of the tubes with the capper\/decapper and automation systems, a smooth process is ensured. More than 100,000 samples are stored in LVL SAFE\u00ae 2D Tubes.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_empty_space height=”70px”][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_custom_heading text=”Symbiosis of chemical expertise and biomedicine” font_container=”tag:h3|text_align:left” use_theme_fonts=”yes” css=””][vc_column_text css=””]Biologically active compounds find widespread application in various fields, including pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, cosmetics, the food industry, and environmental protection. One of the main methods for discovering new bioactive compounds is high-throughput screening of large libraries of chemical compounds to identify promising chemical probes and lead compounds for the development of new products in these application areas.<\/p>\n

EU-OPENSCREEN represents a non-profit European Research Infrastructure Consortium (ERIC) focused on chemical biology and early drug discovery. The overarching mission of EU-OPENSCREEN is to secure a leading position in the biological, chemical, and medical sciences for the European Union and participating countries. The consortium supports scientists by providing an extensive selection of individually curated compounds based on a large number of selection criteria for their scientific studies and experiments. The range includes transferring thousands of compounds at a predetermined concentration for broad screening to a few selected compounds in various concentrations for subsequent development steps. Additionally, large collections of compounds are screened in their own laboratories for biological activity using specialized bio-assays.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”61900″ img_size=”full” css=””][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_empty_space height=”70px”][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text css=””]<\/p>\n
