    摘要: An automatic, partially automatic, and/or manual iterative system, method and/or computer program product for generating chemical entities having desired or specified physical, chemical, functional, and/or bioactive properties. The present invention identifies a set of compounds for analysis; collects, acquires or synthesizes the identified compounds; analyzes the compounds to determine one or more physical, chemical and/or bioactive properties (structure-property data); and uses the structure-property data to identify another set of compounds for analysis in the next iteration. An Experiment Planner generates Selection Criteria and/or one or more Objective Functions for use by a Selector. The Selector searches the Compound Library to identify a subset of compounds (a Directed Diversity Library) that maximizes or minimizes the Objective Functions. The compounds listed in the Directed Diversity Library are then collected, acquired or synthesized, and are analyzed to evaluate their properties of interest. In one embodiment, when a compound in a Directed Diversity Library is available in a Chemical Inventory, the compound is retrieved from the Chemical Inventory instead of re-synthesizing the compound. The Analysis Module receives the compounds of the Directed Diversity Library from the Chemical Inventory and/or the Synthesis Module, analyzes the compounds and outputs Structure-Property data. The Structure-Property data is provided to the Experiment Planner and is also stored in the Structure-Property database. The Experiment Planner defines one or more new Selection Criteria and/or Objective Functions for the next iteration of the invention. In one embodiment, a Structure-Property Model Generator generates Structure-Property Models and provides them to the Experiment Planner which uses the Models to generate subsequent Selection Criteria and/or Objective Function.

    摘要: The present invention provides an assay apparatus for that includes a temperature adjusting device for simultaneously heating a plurality of samples, and a receiving device for receiving spectral emission from the samples while the samples are being heated. In further aspects of the invention, the receiving device can be configured to receive fluorescent emission, ultraviolet light, and visible light. The receiving device can be configured to receive spectral emission from the samples in a variety of ways, e.g., one sample at a time, simultaneously from more than one sample, or simultaneously from all of the samples. The temperature adjusting device can be configured with a temperature controller for changing temperature in accordance with a pre-determined profile.
