What it really isBioRAFT (now SciSure) — enterprise EHS and lab-safety compliance platform for research institutions.
Our takeBioRAFT is an enterprise lab-safety and EHS platform built for universities and research institutes; it centralizes biosafety training, chemical inventory, risk assessments, and regulatory compliance across facilities.
BioRAFT is purpose-built EHS and lab safety compliance software. BioRAFT was rebranded SciShield and then merged with eLabNext to form SciSure; the product and institutional customer base remain intact. Pricing is fully custom-quoted with no public tiers, and no self-serve trial is publicly available.
Why we rate itBioRAFT/SciSure is deployed at Stanford, Emory, CMU, Dartmouth, and dozens of major research universities, signalling deep institutional trust and proven regulatory coverage.
Its expansion via the SciShield → SciSure merger adds ELN and LIMS capabilities, making it a more complete research operations suite.
The catchZero pricing transparency forces every prospect into a sales cycle.
No self-serve trial means small labs and startups are effectively locked out. The ongoing rebranding (BioRAFT → SciShield → SciSure) creates confusion for users searching for support or documentation.

Best / not good for

Best for
  • University EHS and research safety offices managing dozens of labs
  • Biosafety officers needing automated training tracking and IBC compliance documentation
  • Pharma/biotech sites requiring centralized chemical inventory and regulatory audit trails
Not good for
  • Small or independent labs without a dedicated EHS function
  • Teams needing transparent self-serve pricing or a free trial
  • Organizations looking for a lightweight safety checklist tool rather than a full compliance platform
Trade-offs

Friction report

Trade-offs to know before signing up.

  1. Time to value
    Slow: enterprise demo and custom contract required before access; institutional onboarding with data migration and training adds weeks.
  2. Scale breakpoint
    Custom pricing means costs grow opaquely with user count and module additions; large multi-campus deployments can become complex to administer.
  3. Walled garden
    High: institutional data (training records, chemical inventories, risk assessments) is deeply embedded; migration away requires significant effort and coordination with EHS workflows.
Still a fit?
If none of these block you, try it on the official site.
