Lab-Ally, LLC develops and distributes enterprise laboratory informatics software solutions including CERF ELN, RSpace ELN and eCAT. Lab-Ally also sells a number of other Life-Science products and services.
History
Lab-Ally was formed in 2013 as a sales and marketing partner for a number of small biotech / histopathology companies. The founders were former employees of Rescentris, Inc., the company that originally developed the CERF ELN in the early 2000's. Rescentris (which was also briefly known as ELN Technologies and irisnote, Inc., ceased operations in 2013 following the unfortunate death of the primary owner, an internationally renowned scientist at Stanford University. At that time, Lab-Ally offered to provide interim technical support to the CERF ELN user base.
Also in 2013, Lab-Ally formed a strategic partnership with ResearchSpace, the UK based makers of the RSpace ELN and eCAT sample tracking system. [1] Lab-Ally currently serves as the North American office of RSpace, assisting with all aspects of product design, support, distribution and US invoicing.
In 2014 Lab-Ally acquired the CERF source code and reactivated development of the CERF ELN product. Some minor maintenance and security releases were provided to existing CERF customers in 2014 and 2015 [2] and a new iPad client was released in 2016. [3] Lab-Ally's first new version of the full product, CERF ELN version 5.0 is scheduled for release in January 2017.
Lab-Ally also distributes a number of other life-science products and services. According to their website:
"Lab-Ally LLC sits at the strategic nexus of scientific research, data management, collaboration and commercialization. Our clients include universities, government laboratories and biotechnology companies working in the life-science, biomedical, pharmaceutical, environmental and informatics fields. We can provide assistance with every part of the research life cycle including the location of hard-to-find materials and samples, 21cfr11 data management via selected ELN and LIMS software solutions, and the formation of strategic alliances to help your organization grow. We can also assist you with the recruitment of CLIA certified CROs, immunohistopathology & genomic labs and other research service providers that can help you complete key studies. [4]
Technology and products
Both CERF and RSpace can be installed either on premise, or on a cloud server of the user's choice.
CERF ELN is designed mainly for high compliance commercial labs. The system includes the CERF server and dedicated desktop client applications for Mac OS and Windows. The System does not depend on internet access and can be run on a totally secure private LAN. CERF includes semantic metadata tagging and search technologies, in-line data viewing, round-trip editing and versioned document control, true PKI digital signatures and a dedicated app for the iPad platform called iCERF.
RSpace is the successor of the older eCAT ELN product and was designed by the makers of eCAT with input from Lab-Ally. RSpace is intended mainly for large academic, government and commercial enterprise deployments. Fast, simple, and easy to deploy, RSpace uses any HTML5 capable browser to connect to the server and can be used with any workstation or any modern mobile device. RSpace is highly integrated with other common web tools and is designed to allow users to create links to data already stored in third party systems like Box, Dropbox, MS OneDrive, Mendeley, GitHub and others. RSpace also includes integration with ORCID and allows export directly to archives like Figshare and Dataverse. A free public cloud version is available for use by academic labs. The RSpace server can be installed anywhere, but customers with limited IT expertise can choose to package RSpace with a private Amazon Web Services host instance managed by ResearchSpace.
