Xenopus frog records and egg-laying
Each frog record holds a skin-pattern ID picture and a history of injections, egg collections and surgeries, and the planner shows which females are ready.
X. laevis and X. tropicalis come with every plan.
Egg-laying cycles
Injections record the hormone, the dose in IU, the route and whether it was priming or induction.
Egg collections record whether eggs were laid, their quality from 1 to 5 and a rough count.
The egg-laying planner
Females are sorted into ready, resting and consider retiring, with each one's ready date and recent egg quality.
Select several and log one injection for all of them.
Surgery limits from the protocol
We set each protocol's survival surgery limit and the days required between surgeries when your facility is set up.
The surgery form warns when a surgery will be the last one the protocol allows.
Too soon, or past the limit
A surgery too soon after the last one, or past the limit, is refused.
A vet or facility manager can override it with a reason, which is saved in the activity log.
Post-op checks and suture removal
In a core facility, each survival surgery adds a daily post-op check to the task board for a week.
Suture removal goes on the board on the day set for your facility.
Frog ID cards
A frog's ID card carries its skin-pattern picture and a QR code that opens its record.
It prints at 3 by 2 inches.
