Why Zebrafish NAMs

In-vivo data quality. In-vitro speed.

Zebrafish embryo models deliver whole-organism biological relevance with the scalability and speed of in-vitro methods. Under EU Directive 2024/1262, assays conducted on embryos prior to 120 hpf are classified as NAMs — zero animal welfare regulatory burden.

🧬

High Genetic Homology

Over 80% genetic similarity with humans. Systemic biological context unavailable in purely cellular models.

Speed & Throughput

Results in 2-4 weeks. High-throughput ready with standard microplate compatibility. 100-300 eggs per couple/week.

🏅

GLP Certified

Fully GLP-certified environment (ENAC 2026). Results accepted by regulatory agencies for preclinical studies.
