"Scientists in the US have found a way to screen for potential drugs using just minuscule amounts of chemical reagents.
Brian Cunningham and Charles Choi at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign have designed a 96-well microplate that reduces the volume of precious chemicals needed to perform a drug screening assay."
