Not every lab computer runs Chrome.

LimsRat keeps samples in IndexedDB by default. A JSON folder mirror is optional and needs Chrome or Edge. In Safari or Firefox, Export all makes the backup and Import backup brings it back.

Moving the lab to a new computer? Restoring shouldn't be a leap of faith.

LimsRat's new Import backup shows what's in it first, with counts of samples, history entries, stages and storage locations. Nothing imports until you press Import. It's on the free plan.

If your sample tracker shut down tomorrow, could you still open your records?

LimsRat can mirror every sample to a plain JSON file in a folder you choose. CSV export and a zip backup of samples and their history come standard.

OSPO-RADAR - Building a window into the Software Heritage Cathedral
Abstract: How can an academic OSPO identify and manage the software produced across its institution? In this session, Morane Gruenpeter (Software Heritage) introduces the first working version of OSPO-Radar, a service developed by Software Heritage to help research organisations build, curate and showcase their software portfolios while connecting software assets with long-term preservation. The presentation demonstrates the core workflow, from creating institutional collections to reviewing metadata, adding private annotations and monitoring software preservation. The session will also open the discussion on how OSPO-Radar could support real OSPO activities, including software discovery, reporting and institutional recognition. Public mailing list on OSPO-Radar updates: https://sympa.inria.fr/sympa/info/swh-ospo-radar Speaker Bio Morane Gruenpeter leads the Scholarly Ecosystem operations at Software Heritage (https://www.softwareheritage.org/). Morane serves as co–principal investigator of the Sloan-funded OSPO-RADAR project, and oversees Open Science collaborations spanning strategic partnerships, memberships, sponsors, and academic projects with institutions and infrastructures. Morane co-chairs multiple international initiatives advancing Open Science and research software recognition: the CodeMeta initiative, the EOSC Opportunity Area 7 (Research Software), and the RDA Software Source Code Interest Group. She's also an active member of the SciCodes consortium, contributing to global efforts to make software a first-class scholarly output.
