Benchling Notebook vs SureCTMS

Benchling Notebook is a cloud-based electronic lab notebook for capturing, accessing, and sharing scientific work. It keeps experiments, metadata, collaboration, and analysis together, with search, templates, and schemas for organizing records. Teams can share and co-edit entries using tags, comments, task assignments, and role-based permissions. Entries can link results to samples and experimental data, while the product describes LIMS integration for connecting samples and results. Benchling says the notebook supports 21 CFR Part 11 requirements through audit-ready electronic records and signatures. Listed ecosystem integrations include AWS, Google Cloud Platform, Jupyter, Snowflake, and Titian Mosaic, with instrument connections through Benchling Automation. Developer tools include REST APIs, a Python SDK, webhooks, an application framework, and a Postgres SQL data warehouse. Benchling states that data is encrypted at rest with AES 256-bit encryption and in transit with TLS 1.2 or higher, and that it maintains SOC 2 Type 2 attestation and ISO 27001:2022 certification. The free academic plan includes Notebook and Molecular Biology; industry pricing is customized.

SureCTMS is a cloud clinical trial management system for automating and tracking trial operations. Its template-based study wizard is described as configuring a CTMS, ETMF and study team in as little as five minutes, without standard study startup fees. Workflows include milestones, activities, tasks, project calendars, Gantt charts, notifications and monitor visit reporting. The system can manage document collection, site scheduling, activities, site payments and issues. Finance tools handle multi-currency budgets and payments due or made for sites, subjects, vendors and organizations. Dashboards, study and site metrics, more than 20 standard reports, and PDF or XLS subscriptions support reporting. SureCTMS connects to popular EDC systems for real-time subject data import, with Marketplace add-ons for external EDC and eDMS systems. SureClinical describes a wider suite that includes ETMF, Adobe certificate signing and a private trusted clinician network, and states that SureCTMS and SureETMF are FDA compliance validated. The platform is available on Android, iOS and web. Pricing is on request; an example configuration is $1,500 a month for a 36-month subscription term.
