Screens capacity

Estimating Screen Capacity Various methods of predicting screening capacity have been proposed, and each has its limitations. The throughrlow method of Matthews uses the following equation ... 

The decision theory is valid for variable costs but does not consider the problem of capacity allocation. In many contexts, screening capacity is a sunk cost, and there is a need to consider the straw that broke the camel s back, the first compound that exceeds capacity. There is no need to ration resources that are not scarce and have trivial variable costs relative to the potential value that their use can create. This reasoning leads naturally back to use of easily understood, intuitive flow and capacity visualizations for the relevant simulations. 

In industrial screening, capacity is important in addition to efficiency. The capacity of a screen is measured by the mass of the material fed per unit time to unit area of the screen.

The momentum behind HTS has fostered the formation of a professional society founded in 1993, the Society of Biomolecular Screening (SBS), in order to provide an accessible and visible forum for this core technology [8], The view of leading members of this society is that neither primary screening capacity nor compound supply is rate-limiting for drug discovery. This review will discuss some of the main elements of modem HTS.

The screening capacity of a system is always specified in terms of feed rate to the screen rather than product rate of the machine. The capacity is reported in Ib/hrft of the screen area. Loadings will vary considerably depending on the application. Commercial... 

The four methods described in this chapter provide some different advantages and disadvantages. Choice of an appropriate method will depend on factors including available equipment, screening capacity required, and whether further detailed kinetic analysis will be needed. The following notes describe some of the differences in the methods and the problems that may be encountered when using these methods. 

The reduction of available solvent by addition of precipitant is, in principle, no different than the crystallization of sea salt from tidal pools as the heat of the sun slowly drives the evaporation of water. It is a form of dehydration but without physical removal of water. A similar effect may be achieved by the slow addition to the mother liquor of certain organic solvents such as ethanol or methyl pentanediol. The only essential requirement for the precipitant is that at the specific temperature and pH of the experiment, the additive does not adversely affect the structure and integrity of the protein. This is often a very stringent requirement and deserves more than a little consideration. Organic solvent competes, to some extent, like salt for water molecules, but it also reduces the dielectric screening capacity of the intervening solvent. Reduction of the bulk dielectric increases the effective strength of the electrostatic forces that allow one protein molecule to be attracted to another.
