About

SciSure helps scientific organizations replace fragmented, disconnected systems with a single governed platform for managing lab operations, so teams spend less time reconciling data across tools and more time on research. By combining Electronic Lab Notebook (ELN), Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS), and Health & Safety (EHS) capabilities in one system, SciSure improves reproducibility, strengthens visibility into day-to-day lab activity, and helps organizations reduce risk as they scale. Researchers document experiments, protocols, and results in a structured, searchable digital format with customizable templates and version control, replacing paper notebooks and scattered files. Samples are tracked from intake through processing, storage, and disposal, maintaining full lineage and chain-of-custody records alongside chemical and general lab inventory management and workflow automation. Health & Safety functionality is built into the same platform, covering chemical inventory alongside Safety Data Sheets (SDS), regulatory compliance workflows, and audit readiness, so labs don't need a separate system to stay compliant and audit-ready. Labs can also extend the platform through an optional marketplace of add-ons, so they can bring in additional capability, like AI-powered support, automated data analysis, protocol generation, toxicity prediction, and image analysis, only where it adds value, without disrupting the rest of their workflow or committing to features they don't need. SciSure also connects directly to lab instruments, external databases, and third-party tools, so data moves between systems without manual re-entry. SciSure supports both cloud and dedicated hosting, giving organizations control over the deployment model that fits their infrastructure, security, and compliance requirements. It's built to serve academic institutions, biopharma and biotech companies, and start-ups alike, with role-based support for scientists, lab operations staff, safety and compliance teams, leadership, and IT professionals, so the platform works the way each type of user actually needs it to.

Why SciSure is Better than SciNote

SciNote is an open-source ELN aimed primarily at smaller academic labs and individual researchers, without native LIMS or Health & Safety functionality built in. As labs grow past notebook-only needs, they typically need to adopt separate systems for sample management and compliance. SciSure is a complete platform from the outset, unifying ELN, LIMS, and Health & Safety, so labs don't have to re-platform as they scale, with an open marketplace of AI and specialty add-ons available as needs evolve.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • A great way to version control protocols and incorporate samples and reagent LIMS in one place. SciNote makes experiment planning easier and faster, and allows for collaboration amongst your coworkers.
  • SciNote has many customizable features such as keeping inventories of products, great organization of all work, detailed audit trail, and peer review system. The ability to attach Microsoft Excel and Word files to tasks is excellent.

Cons

  • There are a lot of attachments and sections that are embedded in sections, which requires a lot of clicking around, slowing down the process. The results section can be a bit more robust and would be great if there is a way to make across-experiment analysis easier within SciNote.
  • Not many cons as SciNote is a great product. Would be beneficial if all updates to the system had to be allowed by admin.

Pros from Real Users

Pros

  • Cost, feature content, feature addition request fulfillment, customer service, universal capability, and plenty more.
  • I converted to an electronic lab notebook system with my MS in Biotechnology students several years ago and researched a variety of platforms. I selected eLabJournal because of its ease of use, compatibility in a teaching situation, and excellent customer service and support.
  • I enjoy that the product is web based, allowing me to access is from numerous devices. I also enjoy the compatibility of excel online, allowing me to have consistent backups.
  • - User Friendly - Highly flexible and customisable Inventory (including printing barcode labels, scan operation, and full integration with ELN) - Every user action is audit-trailed - Data/sample info is never deleted (only archived) - Each research group has a separate ELN environment, with cross-group collaborations being easy to set up - Quick and cyber-secure private cloud installation

AI Science Supported

SciSure applies AI where it creates measurable value for scientists. Marketplace add-ons bring this into practice: an in-platform support assistant, automated data analysis, AI-assisted protocol generation, in silico toxicity prediction, and image analysis tools for cell and particle detection, plus specialized add-ons for areas like CAR-T research. Data control stays with the lab; models only see what's explicitly permitted, and outputs are built to be traceable rather than opaque. Teams can choose which AI tools to enable, keep them isolated to specific workflows, and add capability without disrupting the rest of the platform.

Chemical Inventory Supported

SciSure helps labs track chemical stock, quantities, and locations in real time. Teams can monitor expiration dates, usage, and reorder needs while maintaining the documentation required for safety and regulatory compliance. Centralized chemical tracking reduces the risk of shortages, expired materials, or compliance gaps across lab locations.

ELN Supported

SciSure's ELN gives researchers a digital space to document experiments, protocols, and results in a structured, searchable format. It replaces paper notebooks and scattered files with a single system that supports reproducibility and easier collaboration across teams. Records stay organized and accessible, making it simpler to reference past work, share findings, and maintain consistent documentation standards across a lab or organization.

SciSure helps labs keep track of reagents, consumables, and equipment in one place. Teams can monitor stock levels, set reorder thresholds, and reduce the risk of running out of critical materials mid-experiment. Centralized inventory data also makes it easier to plan purchasing, track usage patterns, and maintain visibility into what's on hand across labs or locations.

LIMS Supported

SciSure's LIMS gives labs a structured system for tracking samples from intake through results. Teams can manage sample lineage, automate workflows, and keep testing data organized and traceable. The system supports compliance requirements out of the box, helping labs maintain audit-ready records without adding administrative overhead. It's built to scale alongside growing sample volumes and increasingly complex lab operations.

Medical Lab Supported

SciSure supports medical and clinical laboratories with tools to manage samples, track results, and maintain compliant, audit-ready records. The platform helps labs standardize workflows across testing, documentation, and reporting, reducing manual errors and giving lab managers clearer visibility into day-to-day operations. Built-in Health & Safety features help labs meet regulatory requirements while keeping processes consistent across teams and locations.

SciSure gives labs a central place to store, organize, and access safety data sheets for the chemicals they work with. Teams can quickly pull up hazard information, handling guidance, and compliance documentation when needed, reducing time spent searching for safety information and helping labs stay prepared for audits or safety reviews.

SciSure centralizes scientific data from instruments, experiments, and lab systems into one organized, searchable environment. Rather than data living in disconnected files or systems, teams get a single source of truth for tracking, retrieving, and reviewing lab data. This supports easier collaboration, stronger data integrity, and more reliable long-term record-keeping across the organization.
