Body weight by group, mean ± SEM
Animal study

Run the whole animal study from one screen.

For mice, rats and other species. Set up groups and cages once; every weigh-in, food and fluid check and dose is then recorded in the same file and summarised automatically, by week or day by day.

  • Weigh-ins one animal at a time or a whole cage, Excel-style entry
  • Food and fluid intake per animal per day, shown by week or by day
  • Any compound in the drinking water (ethanol is optional), with intake per kg per day
  • Doses from pg/kg to g/kg by any route (oral, i.p., tail vein, ICV and more), with a printable dosing sheet
  • Repeated-measures ANOVA with Greenhouse-Geisser correction
Advice for your standardsELISA four-parameter standard curve
ELISA

From plate reader to concentrations, with the curve fitted properly.

Paste the 8 × 12 absorbance grid, pick a layout, and PreclinIQ subtracts the blank, fits the curve and interpolates every sample, for sandwich and competitive assays.

  • 4PL, 5PL, linear, log-log, logarithmic, exponential, quadratic
  • Suggested model and weighting, explained, with one click to apply
  • Replicate CV, standard recovery, LOD and unit conversion (pg/mL ↔ pM)
qPCR Ct values with replicates more than 0.5 cycles apart highlighted
Tests & assays

Every assay gets its own graph and the right test.

Glucose, insulin and other time-course tests, organ weights, serum biochemistry, histology scores, RT-qPCR, Western blot densitometry and behaviour tests, analysed the moment the numbers go in. Switch off any section you don't use.

  • qPCR by ΔΔCt; replicates more than 0.5 Ct apart are flagged
  • Histology scores tested non-parametrically by default
  • Behaviour tests: Y-maze, elevated plus and T-maze, beam walk, rotarod, open field and more, compared between groups and against each animal's own baseline
  • Organ-to-body-weight ratios (% or mg/g), HOMA-IR, QUICKI and AST/ALT
Statistics guide: which test, when
Statistics

Statistics you can check, and a guide when you are unsure.

t-tests, one- and two-way ANOVA, repeated measures, non-parametric tests, survival, regression, ROC, kappa and Bland-Altman. A built-in guide explains which test to use, with lab examples.

  • Your choice of Tukey, Dunnett, Šídák, Holm-Šídák, Bonferroni or Fisher’s LSD, for one-way, two-way and repeated-measures designs
  • 3- or 4-level significance stars, or exact p values
  • Assumption checks under every graph
  • Cross-checked against SciPy, statsmodels, pingouin and lifelines
Figure builder with six panelsDraft figure legend and results sentence
Figures & writing

From results to manuscript, without a blank page.

Combine graphs into multi-panel figures at the journal's exact width and resolution, with draft legends, results sentences and a methods section to check and edit.

  • One graph style applied to every figure
  • ARRIVE 2.0 checklist pre-filled from your study

Phone app · Android

Record in the animal house. Analyse at your desk.

A companion app for entering data at the cage side. It works with no signal and sends everything to the program when you are back at a computer.

Phone app: weighing a cage, with change since the last weigh-in
Weigh cage by cage, with a warning when an animal loses weight
Phone app: dosing list with volumes in microlitres

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Does my data leave my computer?

No. PreclinIQ works fully offline. Your study is saved in a file you choose, with daily backups, and nothing is uploaded to a cloud. The only time you need the internet is to email your licence request.

Which computers does it run on?

Windows 10 and 11 (64-bit) and Mac (macOS 12 or later, Apple silicon or Intel). It needs about 400 MB of disk space and installs for your user account, without administrator rights. The phone app runs on Android 8 or later.

Can I try it before buying?

Yes, two ways. Ask for a free 14-day trial key to use every feature on your own data, or open the live demo, which runs in your browser with a complete sample study (animal and clinical) and 22 worked examples. Saving, import and export are in the full version.

How does licensing work?

One licence covers one computer for one year. After you pay, send the licence request from the program; you receive a 12-character key by email. All version 1.x updates are included.

What happens when my licence ends?

PreclinIQ still opens your studies and exports your data. Editing is paused until you enter a renewal key, so you never lose access to your results.

Can I use it for human or clinical samples?

Yes. Graph Studio supports human samples (ELISA, biochemistry, qPCR, Western blot), and the clinical module supports investigator-led studies with pseudonymised participant codes. The clinical module is for academic research and is not validated for regulatory submissions (GCP / 21 CFR Part 11).

Are the statistics reliable?

The statistical tests, ELISA curve fitting and clinical formulas were cross-checked against established scientific software (SciPy, statsmodels, pingouin, lifelines) and against the published equations. As with any software, you remain responsible for choosing appropriate methods and checking results.

Can several people in a lab share a study?

Yes. A study is one file: save a copy and send it, or keep it in a shared folder, and colleagues open it in their own PreclinIQ. Each computer needs its own licence.

Can my institute pay by invoice?

Yes. Contact us for a quotation or proforma invoice for one or more computers.

Windows says “Windows protected your PC”. Is it safe?
