SciSure (formerly known as eLabNext and SciShield) vs. Calira

SciSure is a Scientific Management Platform (SMP) designed to unify research, safety, compliance, training, and lab operations in a single, integrated digital environment. Formed through the merger of eLabNext and SciShield, SciSure combines lab digitalization (ELN and LIMS) with Environmental Health & Safety (EHS) expertise to support modern scientific organizations. Many labs today rely on fragmented systems that manage different functions separately—creating inefficiencies, compliance risks, and data silos.

Calira is an equipment booking and management platform for shared R&D lab equipment. It replaces the shared spreadsheets, Outlook calendars, paper signup sheets, and other improvised systems that most labs use to manage access to shared instruments. Labs use Calira to track instrument utilisation, improve asset visibility, reduce booking conflicts, prevent downtime, plan CapEx, and produce structured usage data. More than 1,800 labs in 53 countries run on Calira, including teams at Moderna, Takeda, Eli Lilly, Bayer, Novo Nordisk, Stanford, and MIT.
