Abstract
The invention concerns arrays comprising hundreds, thousands, to hundreds of thousands of samples and methods for screening thereof. These methods are useful to optimize, select, and discover compounds, compositions, or conditions that prevent, inhibit, induce, modify, or reverse physical-state transitions, particularly in-vivo physical-state transitions relating to disease causing processes. Such compounds, compositions, or conditions can be exploited to treat (e.g., reverse) or prevent the disease itself, the cause of the disease, or the symptoms of the disease.
Claims13
A method of preparing an array of at least 24 samples for screening to identify conditions, compounds, or compositions that inhibit, prevent, induce, modify, or reverse transitions of physical state comprising:
- (a) adding a medium to each of the samples;
- and (b) adding a disease-causing substance to at least one of the samples.
