Calira is an equipment booking platform built for modern laboratory operations teams who need clearer control and management of their shared lab equipment.
R&D equipment is expensive, highly shared, and critical to the experiments that drive research. But many teams still rely on spreadsheets and shared calendars to book what they need for their experiments. This reduces visibility, creates bottlenecks, wastes capacity, frustrates scientists, and sets up difficult conversations with leadership when there’s no reliable usage data later on.
Calira brings structure and clarity to shared equipment, helping R&D leadership, LabOps, and scientific teams manage equipment booking, availability, maintenance, access, and usage data in one place. With Calira, LabOps teams can understand demand, reduce downtime, and make better decisions about when to maintain, sell, or invest in new assets.
With over 68,000 instruments managed and more than 12,000,000 bookings made to date, Calira is currently in use in over 1,800 labs worldwide within biotech, pharma, and research organisations at every scale. If equipment management, access, efficiency, or operational visibility play an important part in your R&D teams, we look forward to meeting you while you’re at Lab of the Future Congress.
