On January 29, 2021, PMDA published the DETECTION OF REPRODUCTIVE AND DEVELOPMENTAL TOXICITY FOR HUMAN PHARMACEUTICAL S5(R3) by ICH. And zebrafish developmental toxicity test as an alternative method is now in full swing in Japan. In this study, we have established a zebrafish quality control protocol, which is the most important basis for this zebrafish developmental toxicity test. We found that it was possible to remove these low-quality fertilized eggs, thereby reducing false positive frequency and enhancing the accuracy of zebrafish developmental toxicity testing.
