LIMS
Sample tracking, inventory management, and workflow automation for lab operations with real-time visibility and compliance-ready documentation.
Overview
SciSure LIMS (formerly eLabNext, eLabJournal, and eLabInventory — formed through the merger of eLabNext and SciShield) is a comprehensive Laboratory Information Management System designed to help research labs track samples, manage inventory, automate workflows, and maintain regulatory compliance. Built for scientists, EHS professionals, and LabOps teams, the platform is trusted by over 550,000 users across more than 55,000 laboratories worldwide.
SciSure LIMS consolidates what traditionally required separate ELN, LIMS, and inventory tools into a single, centralized platform. Unlike rigid traditional LIMS solutions or standalone electronic lab notebooks, SciSure integrates experiment documentation, sample management, collaboration, workflow automation, and compliance into one fully connected system — replacing manual processes like Excel spreadsheets, paper records, and Access databases with streamlined, automated operations.
Sample Management
- Centralized sample database with real-time tracking of sample status and location
- Advanced search and filtering to quickly locate samples across the lab
- Customizable sample fields and categories tailored to each lab's specific needs
- Custom metadata and tagging for structured data organization
- Full traceability and audit logs for every sample's journey
- Batch management to streamline processing and improve efficiency for bulk operations
- Sample disposal tracking with detailed logs of disposal methods and timing to ensure compliance
- Barcode label printing to enhance sample identification and reduce errors
Inventory Management
- Live inventory tracking for reagents, consumables, and equipment to ensure availability and minimize waste
- Custom low-stock alerts to keep labs stocked and organized
- Usage logs and reporting for full visibility into inventory consumption
- Storage unit management supporting a wide range of storage types, including liquid nitrogen tanks, freezers, safety cabinets, cupboards, cold rooms, and custom categories
- Order management with supplier integration for automated reordering and purchase order tracking
- Group shopping lists and a Product Catalog enabling team members to easily order or reorder frequently used products, with order status tracking through each stage of fulfillment
- A dedicated Supplies module to centralize the ordering of consumables and chemicals
Equipment and Workflow Automation
- Integration with lab instruments and devices for seamless equipment tracking
- Equipment booking and availability tracking via a built-in planner for scheduling device use
- Maintenance, calibration, and validation scheduling with automated advance notifications for facility managers
- Detailed documentation and automated logs to ensure compliance-ready records
- Automated research workflow management to reduce manual tasks and streamline sample processes
Compliance and Access Control
- Fully automated compliance with audit-ready documentation, compared to the manual compliance processes of traditional ELN and LIMS tools
- User roles, permissions, and access control to restrict access to authorized personnel and ensure data security
- Regulatory-ready documentation supporting labs with compliance requirements, as demonstrated in histology and immunohistochemistry research use cases
Collaboration and Platform Capabilities
- Live editing and team-wide access for seamless collaboration across lab teams
- Flexible and fully integrated workflow management adaptable to diverse research needs
- A marketplace of integrations and add-ons to expand platform capabilities tailored to specific research requirements
SciSure LIMS is available with a 30-day full-access trial and is supported by a specialist team for onboarding and ongoing assistance. The platform's marketplace enables further extensibility through third-party integrations, making it suitable for a broad range of laboratory environments seeking to modernize operations and achieve full sample traceability.
