BioManagerLab management · free and open source
Your lab's animals, stocks and supplies. In one place.
BioManager replaces the spreadsheets, whiteboards and paper cage cards most labs run on. Edit records like a spreadsheet — underneath is a database that knows which mouse is in which cage, when a litter needs weaning, and which antibody is about to expire.

A census that is actually complete: who owns what, which cages are idle, what is overdue.
For multi-organism labs
Mice, fish, flies and worms side by side, and a database for any other animal you keep, set up in minutes.
Nine things a lab does every week. Watch BioManager do each one.
Every morning, what needs doing today. Weanings, genotyping, vials to flip, expiring reagents and the next 14 days, worked out from the databases your lab keeps.
