Climb™
Trusted In Vivo Study Management Tools
Climb™ is a cloud-based end-to-end software solution for the management of non-GLP animal studies. This comprehensive platform comes with powerful functionalities enabling researchers to set up, schedule, manage, track, and log all in vivo projects, and access data from a centralized repository. Climb provides efficiency, accuracy, and compliance in non-GLP studies of all sizes and complexities, giving researchers confidence to make faster, data-driven decisions.
What is Climb?
Climb is a unified platform for managing non-GLP animal studies. It delivers features that cover all aspects of data management, scheduling, and tracking to ensure compliant and accurate in vivo work and high-quality data as a result.
Animal studies are highly complex, and dynamic research environments often require rapid protocol changes that must be quickly approved and implemented. Without dedicated tools, scheduling and monitoring tasks become increasingly difficult to manage, particularly as studies scale up. Poor in vivo study management can jeopardize animal welfare, reduce reproducibility, and delay development.
Climb empowers researchers to manage in vivo studies of any scale or complexity, ensuring consistent workflows and data integrity across exploratory in vivo preclinical research. The platform helps researchers manage the inherent variability of animal studies while using dynamic scheduling to optimize efficiency and maximize data quality.
