Design of experiments for high-throughput screening

 
The high-throughput screening technology can accelerate the development of new coating products due to a faster automated lab process for the preparation of samples and characterization of its properties. Since the outcome of the daily work is being increased, the experiments need to be planned well ("good data") for the statistical analysis, which is called Design of Experiments (DoE). The DoE will reveal how the properties/characteristics of the coating is influenced by the input variable (e.g. concentration of ingredients, process parameters). Finally, this information will help to predict and/or optimize the properties of a product.
