Do researchers need modern tools like electronic lab notebooks to boost their productivity and capture and share data more effectively? Yes! Will they adopt an ELN if it doesn’t fit snugly into their existing workflow and inter-operate with other tools they are using? No! That’s why RSpace is designed to support researchers’ existing workflows, not make them adopt new ones. It’s easy for new users to get started by importing protocols and other documents in Word and having them automatically convert to fully editable RSpace documents with all the formatting maintained.

And, RSpace integrates with generic tools like Slack and MS Teams, and specialist scientific tools like protocols.io. That’s why we call it the Connected ELN!

Academic institutions aim to ensure the data their researchers produce is not only captured, but also properly managed and eventually made publicly available for others to view, query and re-use. This drives a need for an ELN that connects with other research tools and with other components of the research infrastructure. That’s why RSpace enables linking to OneDrive, Google Drive, Box, Dropbox and to institutional and lab data storage resources. And it’s why RSpace is integrated with leading data repositories like DSpace, figshare and Dataverse.

RSpace, the Connected ELN, is not just another ELN, it’s another kind of ELN, the kind needed by institutions developing a research infrastructure meeting the needs of their researchers today, and tomorrow.

Some universities find that the best entry point for an ELN is in the classroom, or for undergraduates and MSc students doing project-based work. Integrations with Slack, Microsoft Teams and Google Hangouts chat enable RSpace to facilitate teacher-student communication and group projects, and make RSpace the perfect vehicle for documenting and recording student work.

Unlike other ELN providers, we provide unlimited classroom usage to universities at no extra charge, further enhancing the attraction of RSpace in the classroom.

We understand that time to milestone is what matters most to biotechs. Whether you’ve just spun out of a university or a pharma company, or have already raised a Series A, shaving a month off the time needed to meet your next milestone can make the difference between survival and biting the dust. RSpace is easy to get started with, and our flexible business model enables startups to use RSpace for as long as you like free of charge. Our world class support team responds quickly to your questions, so that you’re able to determine whether RSpace is right for you without wasting precious time.

RSpace grows with you. When team size and funding dictate a transition to a dedicated Enterprise instance, you can seamlessly transfer your data from RSpace Community. 

Our groundbreaking integration with Egnyte (available in September 2018) enables streamlined CRO – biotech collaboration in way that’s never been possible before. RSpace files are stored in Egnyte folders. What does this mean? Say you’re a CRO that takes in sample compounds, analyses the compounds, and sends the results back to your biotech customers. No more emailing back and forth. Instead, when you’re finished with the analysis in RSpace, summarize the results in a pdf and simply upload it directly to the Egnyte folder to which both you and the customer have access. Even better, give your customers permission to view the RSpace folders where you’re documenting the analysis. They can comment using RSpace messaging and/or set up a Slack channel and use the RSpace-Slack integration for discussion about the work.

RSpace + Egnyte becomes a single, joined up space for documenting your work for customers, communicating with them, and presenting results!

Biotech founder/CEOs readily see the benefits in adopting an ELN – better visibility over research in progress, a complete, defensible record of research for IP and compliance purposes, and a time-saving tool that can be used to streamline communication with CROs and collaborators. Those benefits might not seem compelling, however if you’re the one planning and implementing experiments. In that case you’re more likely to appreciate other things you get with RSpace, including the ability to work with other tools you’re already using, like Dropbox, One Drive, G Drive, Egnyte, Slack and MS Teams, the ability to transform Word docs into RSpace docs while maintaining formatting, and in built tools like PCR master mix and buffer calculator.

RSpace is the ELN that’s designed to meet the needs of everyone on the team!
