Software for mouse and aquatic core facilities
ConductColony keeps a core facility's housing, animals and protocols in one place, with a daily census and monthly statements for each lab, husbandry tasks and health cases.
Facility features come with the Institution plan, priced for each facility.
Roles for staff, vets and PIs
Facility managers, technicians and vets see every lab.
A PI's Today, housing, animals, protocols and statements show only their own labs.
Today
Today shows animals by species, water checks, today's work and open health cases.
It also lists frogs ready for egg-laying and the per diem charged so far this month.
Rooms, racks and tanks
Housing shows each room's racks as a grid of cage positions, and each aquatic system's tanks.
Moving a cage or tank to another lab moves its animals with it.
Census and per diem billing
Each morning the census counts every billable cage and tank, room by room.
The facility manager builds each lab's monthly statement from the census and exports it as CSV.
Daily work and health cases
Recurring tasks fill a daily board by room, with overdue work at the top.
Staff report sick animals with a photo, and the vet adds assessments and closes the case.
Aquatics and Xenopus
Each aquatic system shows its tanks and its water quality against target ranges.
Frog records track injections, egg quality, rest and surgeries.
Monthly reports
The monthly report covers census and per diem by lab, protocol use, mortality, water excursions, task completion and health cases.
Each section downloads as a CSV file, and the page prints.
Phone app and scanning
ConductColony runs in the phone's browser, so staff record tasks, checks and sick-animal reports at the rack.
Scanning a cage card or tank label opens its record.
