Results and reports off lab instrument PCs, without a USB stick

Chromatography, spectrometry and analyser PCs are often offline with USB disabled, and results still travel by paper or by the occasional stick. Bouraq moves a copy of the file through the screen, checked by sha256 and recorded against your account.

Why the instrument PC is isolated

Instrument PCs run validated software, sometimes on an operating system that can no longer be patched. Keeping them off the network and disabling USB protects both the instrument and data integrity. The scientist still needs the report on the desk, not a photo of the screen.

How it works in the lab

Bouraq Prism, one HTML file, is placed on the instrument PC once through your approved process; nothing is installed.
Choose the result files or export folder: Prism compresses and encrypts them and shows them as QR codes.
Your phone, or an allowed webcam, reads the codes. The files arrive in your space, rebuilt and checked by sha256, and you download them on your office PC.
A 1 MB report or result export takes about 3 min 10 s per loop if already compressed, much less if it is text or CSV.

A copy, not the record

In GxP settings the electronic record stays where your system validated it. Bouraq carries a copy for analysis, review or reporting; whether that use needs QA sign-off is your quality system's decision. The audit trail (who, what, when, sha256) helps you show which copy left and when.

Patient data stays out

Bouraq is not a certified host for health data (it is not HDS-certified in France). Send technical results, method files and reports, never patient-identifiable data. For pseudonymised research data, ask your data protection officer, and ask us about a dedicated instance.

Where it fits

A good fit

Result copies, reports, method and configuration files
Instrument PCs with USB disabled and no network
Labs where phones or webcams are allowed at the bench
Teams that want a record of which copy left, and when

Not a fit

Patient-identifiable health data
Imaging datasets of hundreds of megabytes
Replacing the validated GxP record or its transfer to your LIMS
Cleanrooms that ban phones and cameras

Honest scope. Bouraq needs a camera allowed at the bench and suits files of kilobytes to a few megabytes. It is not a validated GxP system and not a host for patient data. Security and architecture →

Questions

Does Bouraq change anything on the instrument PC?

No. Prism is an HTML file opened in the browser; it installs nothing, writes nothing outside the folder you choose for the way back, and needs no network.

Can the files be read if someone photographs the screen?

No: each code is encrypted with your account key. A photo of the screen reveals nothing of the content without that key.
