Problem
Preclinical research labs struggle with fragmented data scattered across personal drives, email threads, and paper records, making it difficult to locate raw data when lab members leave or reviewers request specific details. Animal research is heavily regulated and subject to audit, yet the 3Rs evidence required for AWERB reviews—animal counts, refinements, replacements—often exists but is not consolidated in one place, forcing researchers to rebuild records under time pressure.
Solution
Darev provides LabArk, a structured daily recording platform that captures research data as it happens, automatically organizing measurements and observations into a single, audit-ready record. The platform locks protocols at submission and timestamps measurements on the day they are taken, eliminating the need for end-of-study reconstruction. LabArk connects directly to preclinicaltrials.eu, a registry that 3Rs-compliant labs already report to, and tracks evolving regulatory standards including the EMA's 2026 virtual control group qualification opinion and UK AWERB evidence requirements. This ensures the paperwork emerges from the same record used during the study, not from a separate documentation process.
Target Audience
Primary users are preclinical research labs, postdocs, and PhD students in the UK and EU conducting animal studies, as well as institutional compliance officers and AWERB committees responsible for regulatory oversight.
Features
- Structured daily recording that locks protocols at submission and timestamps measurements on the day they occur
