Paper and pencil have long been the cornerstone of record keeping and operational processes for lab animal facility management. However, as technology advances, so does the need for more efficient, accurate, and compliant operations.

In this article we’ll explore how to use Mosaic Vivarium’s electronic records system to meet your facility’s project management needs.

Why It’s Time to Change to Digital

The limitations of paper-based systems in animal facilities are becoming increasingly apparent. Inefficiencies in data entry, storage, and retrieval, alongside challenges in maintaining accuracy and meeting regulatory/IACUC compliance, underscore the need for a digital overhaul.

Electronic records promise real-time data access, streamlined operations, and accurate reporting, all essential in today’s fast-paced and regulation-driven environment.
