Six integrated capabilities supporting compliant, efficient in vivo research operations.
PicoTeam InVivo is structured around six integrated functional areas that support planning, execution and reporting of in vivo research within animal facilities. Together, these capabilities provide a coherent operational framework for animal management, study execution, and regulatory documentation, built on a shared data model to ensure consistency, traceability, and control.
1. Animal Management
Centralized management of animals across their full lifecycle.
- Digital animal records with complete historical context
- Visibility of strain, genotype, health status, and physical location
- Tracking of measurements, observations, and procedures
- Direct linkage to studies, breeding programs, and husbandry activities
- Role-based access and audit-ready records
2. Study Management
Structured planning and execution of in vivo studies aligned with facility operations.
- Digital study setup with protocols, endpoints, and milestones
- Assignment of animals and groups with full traceability
- Scheduling and tracking of procedures, measurements, and deviations
- Direct linkage of animals, cages, and samples to study context
- Exportable study data supporting reporting and analysis
3. Breeding & Colony Management
Complete overview of breeding programs and colony populations.
- Structured breeding protocols and lineage tracking
- Real-time overview of colony size and composition
- Tracking of matings, litters, weaning, and genotypes
- Forecasting to align breeding output with study demand
- Support for reducing surplus animals through informed planning
4. Animal Husbandry
Digital support for daily care activities and animal welfare monitoring.
- Documentation of routine husbandry tasks and welfare checks
- Standardized recording of feeding, cleaning, and enrichment
- Health event flagging and clinical observations via mobile workflows
- Task lists and reminders supporting consistent execution
- Improved coordination between caretakers, veterinarians, and researchers
5. Sample Tracking
End-to-end traceability of biological samples.
- Unique sample identification and status tracking
- Direct linkage between samples, source animals, and studies
- Tracking of collection, storage, processing, and transfer
- Reduced risk of mislabeling or data loss
- Strong support for audits, reproducibility, and compliance
6. Digital Cage Cards
Real-time cage-level visibility integrated with the platform.
- Live cage-level information synchronized with the central system
- Automatic updates via digital displays and mobile application
- Visual indicators for study status, health events, and required actions
- Reduced reliance on paper-based documentation
- Direct connection between physical cages and digital records
An Integrated Operational Framework
Together, these six core functionalities form the operational backbone of the PicoTeam InVivo platform. By embedding data capture directly into daily facility workflows, PicoTeam InVivo supports efficient execution, consistent documentation, and regulatory readiness across in vivo research operations.
