Mosaic Vivarium: The Software That Plays Well with Others

Published On: July 3rd, 2025

Good Lab Animal Resource management software doesn’t live in isolation. It communicates, cooperates, and complements the rest of your institutional tools.

At Mosaic Vivarium, we believe that the best software is not just deeply capable on its own, but also plays well with others.

One of the classic tensions in enterprise software is the tradeoff between siloed tools that work well for a specific function but don’t share data, and monolithic platforms that attempt to do everything, but often lack nuance where it matters. Mosaic Vivarium bridges that gap.

Our JSON-based web API, robust data export/import features, and support for common standards like SAML for single sign-on make Mosaic a team player in your environment.

Here are some examples:

IACUC Protocol Integration: Several of our customers use nightly automated processes to inject newly approved IACUC protocols into Mosaic, including animal limits and expiration dates. Mosaic then helps enforce compliance across all operations.
Finance System Exports: Mosaic captures all billable activity within the facility, from per diems to procedures. These are routinely exported to university or institutional finance systems for seamless cost recovery.
Excel as an Interchange Format: Most Mosaic data can be exported to Excel, which continues to be the lingua franca for data exchange and local analysis.
Single Sign-On (SSO): Mosaic supports SAML-based SSO, integrating with your organization’s identity provider to simplify access and align with security policies.
Full-Featured JSON API: Mosaic’s API enables programmatic access to nearly every screen-viewable data set and allows creation, update, and deletion of system entities like IACUC protocols.
Hardware Integrations: Mosaic integrates with:
