about CAlira

Every lab is different

  • Workflow-based reservations for multiple instruments
  • Automatic booking sequences based on protocol & availability
  • Lab-specific constraints for how and when users can book

Different science, different equipment, different personalities, different pressures: no two labs operate the same way. Calira adapts to each lab and every workflow.
