High Content Analysis/Screening
 

1. What is the goal of this Survey?

 
This is a long and detailed survey - but we need your help. Please do it!!! This survey is the result of a meeting of about 250 people who attended a recent meeting in San Francisco (January 2004) that focused on the issues surrounding High Content Screening (HCS) or Analysis.

Several important issues arose from the meeting including the direction and complexity of systems, and the overall impact of informatics on the field. Many members felt that if more information were gathered from participants, some aspects of HCS could be made more credible and more valuable to users.

This survey is independent of corporate influence in either the instrument, reagent or pharmaceutical companies.

This is quite a long survey and will require several minutes of your time. However, without quality data, it will be difficult for us to evaluate issues and create resources for the HCS community.

1. First, we would like to thank you for working your way through this survey. If you assist us by answering the questions with care and much thought, we are sure that you will benefit as well as the entire community. At the end of the survey, you will be offered a chance to join a discussion forum.
