Digital platform for sharing
animals and biological materials

PicoTeam offers a solution designed to increase the visibility of laboratory animals and biological materials.

By facilitating the exchange of live surplus laboratory animals, as well as both fresh and preserved animal biological materials, it ensures that these valuable resources are utilized  efficiently and ethically

Connecting those requiring animals and biological materials and those holding them

WHAT THE SYSTEM CAN DO

  • Search and discovery
  • Resource sharing
  • Data sharing
  • Collaboration and communication
  • Integration with other tools

Digital sharing platform

Biosharing platform facilitates sharing of surplus animals and biological materials within laboratories of an organisation or between institutions to reduce the number of animals used in scientific experiments

The platform promotes the 3R principles “Replacement, Reduction, Refinement” to safeguard animal welfare and comply with the EU Directive 2010/63 on the use of animals for Experimental and other Scientific Purposes

Reducing

Reducing animal numbers to the minimum needed for scientific goals

Replacement

Replacing live animals in research procedures with alternative methods

Refining

Refining procedures to minimize animal pain, distress and lasting harm

how the system works

01

effortless
resource access

BioSharing platform is a user-friendly web application facilitating the access to available resources with a few mouse clicks, instead of via time-consuming email and phone conversation. It provides research staff with an easy to use search function that enable them to discover the animals and other resources they need. The function includes advanced search features such as filters for species, strain, age, sex, experimental data, etc
02

Effective
Resource Exchange

The platform enables research staff who possess resources (such as non-naive animals and biological materials) to provide detailed information about them, including their study histories. Other research staff who need these resources can indicate their interest and specify their requirements, and communicate with the resource providers through the platform's messaging tool
03

Efficient
Integration

The digital platform integrates with other scientific tools such as an animal management software. This integration helps to enhance the functionality of the platform, allowing for more seamless and streamlined workflows

biosharing platform highlights

reducing animal use

Using available on the platform animal biological materials will reduce the number of animals used in scientific purposes

increasing transparency

Digital platform enables visibility of lab resources for those who need these resources and those who possess them

saving resources

Reducing time, workload and cost saving will be achieved by using available on the digital platform animal biological material

improving workflow

Sharing planned animal necropsies enables the collection and reuse of biological materials for multiple research purposes
