We are hard at work on a major new project: the addition of a full inventory/sample management module to RSpace.
In the next months, we will be performing user testing, which will consist of 60 minute interactive one-on-one sessions over the web, to better understand how users navigate the interface and the intuitiveness of the system. As a result, we are looking for researchers to participate and provide us with their feedback regarding the system we’re developing.
The only requirement is an interest and some experience with sample management in the lab. If you are interested in taking part, please email vaida@researchspace.com.
RSpace is an open-source platform that orchestrates research workflows into FAIR data management ecosystems: request a demo or contact us to learn more.

RSpace Transitions to Open-Source Chemistry ToolsOpen source
RSpace has transitioned to open-source chemistry tools in version 1.108, replacing Marvin with Ketcher for molecule rendering and integrating OpenBabel and Indigo for backend chemistry data management, ensuring full functionality and backward compatibility for users. This change aligns with RSpace's commitment to open-source principles, enabling more flexible development and potential community contributions to chemistry functionality. Users will experience a seamless update with all existing features preserved, including ChemDraw support and existing chemical structure compatibility. The ResearchSpace team is looking forward to expanding chemistry tools, with potential future improvements like advanced chemical calculations, database integrations, and enhanced data export capabilities. Customers can find the new tools active immediately in the latest release, with the team welcoming user feedback and suggestions for future developments.
