Purpose-built for rodent colony management in academic and pharmaceutical research labs.
Core Colony Management
Track every animal, cage, and strain in your vivarium with real-time dashboards and full audit trails.
Colony Tracking
Track every cage, animal, strain, and transfer in your vivarium. Searchable, sortable, and filterable.
Cage Cards & QR Codes

Dashboard & Analytics
At-a-glance colony census, strain distribution, and growth trends. Filterable by date, strain, and location.
Activity Log
Every change is recorded with timestamp, user, and details. Full audit trail for accountability.
Breeding & Genetics
Manage breeding pairs, track litters, record genotypes, and visualize pedigrees across generations.
Breeding Pairs
Create and manage breeding pairs with expected litter dates. Track productivity and retirement criteria.
Litter Tracking
Record litters with birth date, pup count, sex ratio, and weaning status. Link every pup to parents automatically.
Genotype Recording
Multi-allele genotype tracking with batch entry. Record genotyping results for every animal in your colony.
Pedigree Visualization
Interactive 3-generation pedigree trees. Trace ancestry and allele transmission at a glance.
Mendelian Predictions
Predict expected genotype ratios for planned crosses. Compare observed vs. expected outcomes.
Compliance & Reporting
Stay IACUC-ready with protocol tracking, automated alerts, census reports, and pain category management.
IACUC Protocol Tracking
Link animals to approved protocols. Track usage counts against approved limits. Get alerts before you exceed.
Expiry Alerts

Census Reports
Generate accurate animal census reports for IACUC semi-annual reviews. No more manual counting.
Pain Categories
Track USDA pain categories for every animal. Ready for regulatory reporting.

PI, lab manager, technician, and veterinary roles. Control who can view, edit, and manage.
Core Facilities & Aquatics
Bill each lab from a daily census, and keep husbandry, water quality and frog records for mouse and aquatic facilities.
Core Facilities
Labs, roles for staff, vets and PIs, and a Today screen for the whole facility.
Census & Per Diem Billing
A daily census by room, per diem rates and a monthly statement for each lab.
Daily Work & Health
Recurring husbandry tasks, room checks and sick-animal reports with a photo for the vet.
Aquatic Systems & Water
Tanks by system, water readings against target ranges, and counted groups of tadpoles and fish.
Xenopus Frogs
Skin-pattern ID pictures, egg-laying cycles, a planner for ready females and protocol surgery limits.
Zebrafish
Published water ranges, a density check on every tank, crosses between tanks and fish counted from hatching.
