About
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.

About
QBench is a cloud-based Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) designed to help laboratories manage samples, workflows, data, inventory, reporting, quality processes, and client interactions in one platform.
Labs use QBench to manage laboratory operations from order placement and sample processing through results and automated reporting. The platform is highly configurable, allowing laboratories to build workflows, define custom data fields, and automate processes around the way their lab already operates.
QBench also helps laboratories reduce manual work by connecting instruments, software, and other systems through file parsers and a robust API. These integrations can automate data transfer between systems, reducing repetitive data entry and the risk of transcription errors.
Key QBench capabilities include:
Sample and workflow management
Configurable laboratory workflows and custom data fields
Workflow automation
Instrument and system integrations
File parsing and API connectivity
Inventory management
Client portal access
Automated reporting
Analytics and operational insights
Integrated Quality Management System (QMS) capabilities
Unlike LIMS platforms that require extensive custom development to accommodate laboratory processes, QBench is designed to be configurable and adaptable as workflows change. Laboratories can modify processes, fields, and automations without relying heavily on custom code.
QBench is cloud-based, giving laboratory teams secure access to their LIMS while bringing laboratory data, workflows, automation, quality management, and reporting together within a centralized platform.
QBench also supports customers with a team that includes former bench scientists who understand laboratory workflows and can provide guidance throughout implementation and ongoing use.

CategoriesQBench can generate Linear and 2D barcode labels as part of its sample management workflows and can integrate with barcode or RFID systems for sample identification. Labs can create and scan barcode labels, track samples from intake through storage and disposal, and use barcodes or labels for quick and accurate inventory data input. QBench also supports barcode generation for reagent and consumable tracking within laboratory inventory workflows. QBench is a configurable cloud-based LIMS for laboratories working in chemicals and analytical chemistry. Labs can log samples, assign analyses, track test progress, capture data, integrate analytical instruments, automate workflows, and generate reports. Configurable fields, instrument integrations, no-code automation tools, and a REST API help laboratories manage data and adapt testing workflows as their needs change. QBench's integrated inventory management tools help labs centralize reagents, consumables, assays, and equipment. Labs can create and manage inventory items, track reagent and consumable lots and usage throughout testing, automate stock consumption, receive low-stock and expiration alerts, block expired stock, and track inventory and per-use costs. QBench also supports custom inventory fields, attachments, notes, and barcode or label generation for faster data entry. QBench is a configurable LIMS for food and beverage testing labs and supports food safety testing. Labs can trace products to lots, suppliers, and ingredients; manage product specifications; standardize data entry and calculations with method-specific worksheets; automate batch workflows; and generate COAs. QBench also supports testing areas such as allergen testing, microorganism testing, pesticide residue testing, mycotoxin testing, heavy metal testing, and shelf-life testing, with chain of custody and support for FDA 21 CFR Part 11 compliance. QBench provides configurable, no-code laboratory workflow automation within its cloud-based LIMS. Labs can automate workflows, reports, status changes, data transcription, test reruns, and inventory usage without custom coding. QBench can also sync instrument data into the LIMS and uses a REST API for integrations and custom automations. Its automation tools are designed to reduce repetitive manual work and help labs process samples more efficiently. QBench includes cloud-based laboratory inventory management integrated with its LIMS. Labs can create and manage inventory items, track reagent and consumable lots and usage, automate stock consumption during tests or batches, receive low-stock alerts, block expired stock, and track inventory and per-use costs. QBench also supports custom fields, attachments, notes, and barcode or label generation for inventory records. QBench is a cloud-based LIMS for biotech and life sciences labs.
