SwiftSCIENCE

Vivarium management system

Every cage, protocol and investigator, in one place.

For animal facilities: census and billing, IACUC protocols, investigators and grants, with cage census by phone scan built in.

The cages list: each cage with its card number, investigator, IACUC protocol, species, room and rack.

What your team sees

Cages on a phone, with a field to scan a cage card.

Cage census by phone

Scan a rack's cage cards with a phone. Each cage keeps its card, its investigator, its protocol and its place.

IACUC protocols: animals used against approved, and each protocol's humane endpoints.

IACUC protocols

Animals used against animals approved, by species, and the studies under each protocol.

Welfare for the vet

Weights past a protocol's warning or humane endpoint are flagged as they are recorded, and listed on Today for the vet and the care staff.

An animal's history: its cage, its tag and its study, each with a time.

A history of every change

Who moved, tagged, assigned or ended an animal, and when.

Recorded in the SwiftSCIENCE Research Platform with made-up demo data. The names, animals and numbers are invented.

Questions

Can we use vivarium management without the research software?

Yes. Each piece works on its own. Investigators can add research team software later, on the same platform, without changing your setup.

Our facility uses SwiftSCIENCE. Can our investigators use it too?

Yes. Investigators sign in with their own accounts and get a free research workspace for their studies, beside the facility's contract. If a lab needs more, it takes its own plan; the facility's contract does not change.

What happened to SwiftCENSUS?

Its phone scanning is part of vivarium management: scan a rack's cage cards and the census follows. Customers who use the SwiftCENSUS app today keep their support.

Can it run on our own site?

The platform is hosted, and SwiftSENSE Edge runs at your facility, with an offline configuration for strict IT settings. Ask us about the setup your IT needs.

How many cages and rooms does your facility run?

Tell us how census and billing work today. We will show you the same routine on the platform.
