Galilei ALPIN – Animal Laboratory Process Information.

Availability of all data inclusive of traceability

The Galilei ALPIN database which has grown for many years comprises the structures of all processes ranging from the application of a licence to the preparation of statistics or settlement of accounts. The nursing as well as medical scientific aspects have been taken into consideration, which express themselves in the digital patient file. All modules access one database. In this way, faulty interfaces are avoided and the data are recorded once only, and thus are consistently available and up-to-date in all modules. Complete traceability is ensured by the historisation of all data records. GLP requirements are met.

Accelerated and less faulty work processes

Taking the entire process into consideration, the work processes are distinctly accelerated and have less faults on account of the up-to-date data availability at the various locations in the different groups of users. Thus, communication between the parties involved is simplified as well. Cumbersome counting processes and manual recording of cage cards are done away with. On account of the potential use of barcodes and transponders, the fault possibility in recording and searching is reduced to a minimum.

Easy handling even in complex processes

The handling of Galilei ALPIN is restricted to a few clicks only and orientates itself precisely on the processes of real life. Great importance is attached to easy and ergonomical handling, in particular in case of the functions in the animal house. On account of the graphical illustration of the racks and the colour marking of the keeping, breeding and experimental cases as well as other characteristic features, the as-is situation of a cage is recognised at glance without having to enter the cage. Scientists can order mating by carrying out the necessary animals movements in planning mode as if they were in the animal house. In this way precisely structures orders are set up with exactly defined cages and animals. After the physical execution of the order, the animal keeper only needs to confirm the job order. The software then converts the planned movement into actual movement automatically. By this action the computer use within the cages is reduced to a minimum for the animal keeper.

Improved utilisation of capacities

On account of the precise representation of the cage positions in the rack, the line-up of the cages can be planned outside of the cage area. This leads to a considerably more efficient work within the cage area. Long searches for certain cages by checking the cage cards are no longer required, instead the cage position in the rack can be read off directly on the screen. The re-organisation of the cages in the racks for better utilisation and overview is done away with.

Improved hygiene standards

The structured plan execution of animal and cage transactions mentioned above and the exact acknowledgement of the execution leads to a better overview and to a smaller circle of persons having to enter the cage area, thus reducing the hygiene risk.

Automatic preparation of statistics as well as inventory and consumption lists

By the push of a button Galilei ALPIN prepares statistics in keeping with the German Regulations on the Registration of Experimental Animals (VTMVO). Scientists report their interventions by acknowledging the corresponding service. This acknowledgement can be carried out for individual animals or for entire animal groups. The animals are then entered as being used and appear in the statistics. In addition, various inventory lists can be called off.

Transparency of costs and services

Right from the beginning, Galilei ALPIN has been set up as a system for the exchange of services, which means that the services are offered by the supplier, such as by animal keeping or laboratories, at calculated prices, which are then requested and distributed by means of the order module, and then carried out. Services can be requested for an animal, a cage, a rack or a project or can be saved for automatic booking (cage days). At these objects, the status of the respective service can be called off. A powerful account settlement module is available for further accounting of services.
