Imaging & Analysis Workflows for New Approach Methodologies (NAMs)

Supporting human-relevant models with scalable measurement

New approach methodologies such as organ-on-chip systems and advanced 3D cultures promise improved human relevance in drug discovery—but only when paired with robust, quantitative readouts. ZEISS imaging and analysis workflows are designed to support NAM adoption by enabling consistent measurement across large, multidimensional microscopy datasets.

At SLAS, ZEISS is highlighting how integrated imaging and analysis help bridge innovative model systems with reproducible, decision-ready data.

New Spatial Biology solution

Workflow automation at scale

Spatial biology is increasingly central to understanding mechanism of action, target engagement, and cellular interactions within complex biological systems. ZEISS spatial biology workflows support multiplexed imaging and quantitative analysis while maintaining consistency and reproducibility across experiments. Designed for translational and high-content environments, these workflows integrate automation and analysis to help teams move from rich spatial data to actionable insight—without sacrificing biological context.

MyZEISS customer portal

A Connected Digital Experience: MyZEISS

Simplifying access across the ZEISS ecosystem

MyZEISS brings together product information, service access, and personalized support within a single digital platform. Designed to simplify interactions across imaging workflows, MyZEISS helps users manage resources more efficiently—from service requests to technical documentation and support.

At SLAS, ZEISS is highlighting how digital tools complement advanced imaging and service models to support modern, automated research environments.

ZEISS imaging analysis services

Flexible Image Analysis Services

Advanced capabilities without added infrastructure

Not every project—or organization—requires building advanced imaging infrastructure in-house. ZEISS Imaging & Analysis as a Service provides flexible access to expert workflows, advanced microscopy systems, and high-performance analysis to support discovery and development efforts.


This service-based approach allows teams to scale imaging capabilities as needed while maintaining scientific rigor, reproducibility, and efficiency.

In Person Answering the FDA’s Call: A Practical Discussion for the Implementation of NAMs in Pharma

ZEISS is collaborating with Emulate as part of their open house focused on new approach methodologies. This session highlights how advanced imaging and analysis workflows integrate with organ-on-chip systems to support reproducible, human-relevant measurements.

Together, ZEISS and Emulate are showcasing how complementary technologies can enable deeper insight into complex biological models.

When: February 10, 2026 | 5:00 - 7:00 pm | Boston, Seaport

Poster Presentation

Imaging and analysis methods for NAMs

ZEISS will present a poster at SLAS 2026 highlighting imaging and analysis workflows designed to support new approach methodologies. The poster focuses on how advanced microscopy and scalable image analysis enable quantitative insight from large, multidimensional datasets generated by complex, human-relevant models.

Through collaborations with InSphero and Emulate, ZEISS will demonstrate both organoid and organ-on-a-chip workflows, illustrating how complementary model systems can be supported within a unified imaging and analysis framework.

This work highlights practical approaches for translating innovative model systems into reproducible, decision-ready data for translational and screening applications.

From complexity to clarity
