Research Innovations Limited (operating as "ResearchSpace") develops and distributes laboratory informatics software solutions.

Lab-Ally LLC is the North American operating arm of ResearchSpace, assisting with all aspects of product design, support, distribution, and U.S. invoicing.[1]

History

Sometime in 2012 Research Innovations Limited acquired Axiope Limited and its electronic laboratory notebook offering eCAT, with the same Axiope team now affiliated with Research Innovations.[2][3][1] Axiope was a venture spun out of Edinburgh University to "let scientists grow 'semantic webs' in labs."[4]

Sometime in the spring or summer of 2019, Research Innovations took down its eCat-related pages, presumably signalling its end-of-life in favor of RSpace, its successor.[5]

Old technology

eCAT was a web-based electronic laboratory notebook (ELN), "a tool that lets you manage experimental data and samples in an integrated online environment."[6] The software was able to be installed locally or hosted remotely by ResearchSpace as software as a service (SaaS).
