From protocol design to cage-side execution—capturing every action in real time
In preclinical research, study design defines the plan, but facility execution determines the quality of the outcome. In many environments, study protocols are documented separately from the systems that manage daily facility work. As a result, protocol steps must be manually translated into operational tasks for facility staff. This separation introduces risk in scheduling accuracy, team coordination, and documentation consistency during study execution.
PicoTeam InVivo integrates study management directly into daily facility operations. Studies are structured around protocols, endpoints, milestones, and the animals or cohorts assigned to the study. Protocol templates support consistent reuse across studies while maintaining version control. Defined procedures automatically generate scheduled tasks aligned with the study timeline.
As work is performed—measurements recorded, procedures completed, deviations noted—data is immediately linked to the relevant animal and study context. Animals, cages, and samples remain connected to study records throughout execution.
Task approval workflows support coordination between research and facility teams. Study-defined activities can be reviewed and approved within the system before becoming active tasks, formalizing communication and ensuring traceability between study intent and facility execution.
Study reports are generated directly from recorded execution data. Measurements, clinical events, and procedure timestamps are consolidated in the study record, reducing the need for manual data collection later.
By connecting protocol definition with operational execution within a single system, PicoTeam InVivo closes the structural gap between research planning and facility activity while ensuring that study documentation reflects actual facility work.
