What’s DEL?
DNA-Encoded Library (DEL) technology involves a novel affinity selection process that integrates chemistry, biology, bioinformatics and computational chemistry to facilitate a rapid drug discovery process, allowing access to more chemical space with lower cost.
In contrast to high throughput screening, DEL requires a very small amount of target protein and minimum assay development. More importantly, it disrupts the concept of “cost-per-well” and allows testing billions of compounds in one tube.
Why our Library is an Ideal Choice for DEL Screening ?
Library Production Service
- 80+ billion synthetic compounds for diversity
- 100+ selective hot cores for latent druggability of compounds
- 35,000+ commercially source building blocks in stock
- Unique multiple on-DNA reactions to build various chemical bonds
