Calira integrates with your scientific systems including ELNs, calendars, SSO, and IoT sensors.
Sync equipment information, book equipment directly from Benchling, and import equipment information into your experiment notes on the Benchling Notebook.
Sync equipment information, book equipment directly from SciSure on Calira, and import booking information into your experiment notes.
Get real-time equipment-specific metrics, alert and warning notifications, and more detailed equipment parameters to map to your experiments.
Connect your equipment bookings to the calendar you and your lab users use every day at work so that people are notified about bookings the same way as meetings and tasks.
Calira integrates with three categories of systems: ELNs and LIMS (Benchling, SciSure, and RSpace), environmental sensors (Essentim), and calendars (Outlook, Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, and any iCal-compatible service). Calira also provides an API for custom integrations and supports SAML 2.0 SSO for enterprise identity management.
Yes. Calira provides an API that lets you pull booking, equipment, and usage data into internal systems, dashboards, or BI tools like Power BI, Tableau, and Looker. API access is included in Premium and Enterprise subscriptions.
The Benchling integration syncs equipment information automatically between Calira and Benchling, lets users book equipment directly from Benchling, and imports booking information (manufacturer, model, equipment settings, duration) into the Benchling Notebook, Registry, and Workflows.
Calira supports SAML 2.0 SSO, which works with most enterprise identity providers including Okta, Azure AD, and Google Workspace. SSO is included in Enterprise subscriptions, and lets users log in with their organisation's credentials rather than managing a separate Calira account.
Yes, in most cases. Our API supports custom integrations. Common examples include internal LIMS, BI platforms, HR systems for user provisioning, and IoT sensors beyond Essentim. Enterprise customers can work with Calira on custom integration scope.
Build a structured, searchable directory of your lab equipment and enrich it with metadata, location information, and purchase price.
Make availability clear to lab users, let teams book shared instruments with confidence, and avoid double bookings.
Give your team the visibility and control to reduce idle time and maximise usage across shared equipment.
Prevent downtime through visible maintenance tracking, safer access, and smarter user controls.
Make confident decisions with clean usage data so you can see what's being used, what isn't, where, and why.
Turn lab usage data into a structured foundation: exportable, filterable, and ready for integration with your ELN, AI, or BI platforms.
“We get an extremely granular view of how every piece of equipment is being used down to the exact minute.”
“Without it, we probably would have bought more kit than we really needed. Calira gave us the visibility to see where we could share or reallocate instead.”
“The most valuable aspect is the visibility among the users—knowing what’s available to book. From a LabOps perspective, it’s become our record management system for servicing, embedded into our SOPs.”
“Calira helped us improve our equipment usage and planning processes within our teams. It's also handy for me to have oversight of the utilization of our instruments.”
"Calira has improved the process of booking laboratory equipment in our R&D teams, created visibility across teams, improved insight into real time equipment status and allowed us to gather data for equipment usage with ease.”
"I haven't needed to log in in the last two weeks to sort anything out. Scheduling runs quite a lot smoother now."
