The Tetra Biacore Insight Connector is a standalone, containerized application that receives evaluation data from Cytiva Biacore Insight, augments it with a generated report point table, and then uploads it to the Tetra Data Platform (TDP).

Prerequisites

The Tetra Biacore Insight Connector requires the following.

System Requirements

• Linux OS
• Docker installed
• Outbound network access to TDP v4.0.0 or higher
• Outbound network access to all Biacore Insight instances the Connector will contact

If Biacore Insight is running in an on-premises network, the Connector should run either on an on-premises Tetra Hub or as a standalone deployment on an on-premises Linux server.

Network requirements for multiple Biacore Insight instances

To use the Connector to contact multiple Biacore Insight instances, the Connector's host machine must be able to access all relevant Biacore Insight instances.

Biacore Insight Server Requirements

The Tetra Biacore Insight Connector requires the following Biacore Insight server configuration:

• Biacore Insight Evaluation Software with API access enabled
• A valid Biacore Insight user account with appropriate permissions to access evaluation data
• Firewall configured to allow connections (see Configure Firewall Settings)
• Network connectivity between the Connector's host and the Biacore Insight server

📘

NOTE

The Connector was developed and tested using Biacore Insight Evaluation Software version 6.0.7.1750. The Connector may work with other versions, but this has not been tested.

Configure Firewall Settings

The Biacore Insight API port is configurable. Common examples use port 50000 for HTTP. Contact your Biacore Insight administrator for the specific port number and protocol (HTTP/HTTPS) configured for your installation.

The server hosting the Biacore Insight instance must allow inbound traffic on the configured port to allow the Connector to reach it. The relevant firewall rules should be introduced as part of the Biacore Insight installation. You can confirm that the rules are set by looking at Windows Defender Firewall with Advanced Security > Inbound Rules.

To learn about TDP networking best practices, see Recommended Architectures for Network Connectivity to Private Cloud and On-Premises Components in the TetraConnect Hub.

(Optional) Provision a Tetra Hub or Standalone Instance

To set up an on-premises Tetra Hub, see Create and Install a Tetra Hub.

To set up a standalone Connector deployment, see the Standalone Connector Installation and Upgrade Guide in the TetraConnect Hub. For access, see Access the TetraConnect Hub.
