Integrations
The modern-day R&D laboratory should be a place of creativity and collaboration where experts from different fields meet to share ideas, methods and successes. Yet highly trained scientists are often pulled away from their research to carry out manual administration tasks, work with paper-based notebooks and attend tedious reporting meetings. Not only does this cause frustration for the scientist but it also decreases the operational capacity of the laboratory, introducing time and cost inefficiencies and limiting the reproducibility of the research.
For this reason, we have partnered with Clustermarket to provide our users access to a premium equipment management system and offer barrier-free movement between RSpace and Clustermarket. Experiment information in the ELN will include equipment usage and equipment information from the Clustermarket lab resource scheduler.

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.
