Built for Efficiency
Efficiency for every facility
Streamline animal research and compliance with a centralized platform built to improve visibility, accuracy, and operational control.
Centralization
Manage protocols, ordering, animal colonies, tasks, health records, and billing.
Transparency
Maintain full versioning and audit trails for regulatory confidence.
Ethics
Support the 3Rs and promote responsible animal use through data visibility.
Efficiency
Save time on billing, invoicing, and reporting for faster cost recovery.
Integration
Connect seamlessly with LIMS, procurement, and training systems.
One platform. Greater efficiency. Stronger compliance.
Research Lifecycle
Manage every part of the research lifecycle in one place
Protocol management and regulatory compliance
Centralize the entire protocol lifecycle. Create, submit, review, approve, and renew annual protocols, track version history, download standardized templates (AE, deviations, support docs), and generate regulatory reports (e.g., USDA) with just a click.
Breeding and colony management
Manage colonies of all species, including zebrafish, with comprehensive visibility into mating, litters, and weaning. Import or integrate genotyping data to keep complete genealogy and animal histories with genetic monitoring.
Task and workflow management
Assign flexible tasks or use configurable templates and predefined plans to standardize work. Personalized dashboards display daily to-dos, while sequenced workflows ensure consistent case and treatment execution.
Integrations
Connect to ELNs, LIMS, and related systems using paid, configurable integrations to streamline data flow across your stack.
Animal procurement and billing
Process internal and external animal orders and manage supplier catalogs with simple imports, while monitoring occupancy and capacity. Generate billing for procurement, per diems, and services, and export financial data to systems like PeopleSoft or SAP.
Animal and cage management
Monitor animal- and cage-level data using configurable electronic cage cards that support barcodes and RFID. Maintain accurate census and reconciliation, enforce protocol limits in real time, and optionally integrate with Tecniplast DVC and other systems.
Training and competencies management
Update user profiles with training results and competency records, including reminders and access to an approved procedures catalog. Review competencies, monitor ongoing professional development, and (if desired) connect with platforms like CITI and the AALAS Learning Library.
One platform. Two paths.
Animal Research
Streamlining animal research from start to finish
Run your entire animal facility with tools designed for clarity and scale.
With tick@lab, we’re able to track our animals extensively - something we couldn’t do before. The information tick@lab allows us to record and assess is virtually
limitless.
