The TMA Control software is the perfect solution for TMA block design and creation.
The TMA Control software is designed to operate and control both tissue microarrayers (TMA Grand Master, TMA Master) by 3DHISTECH. It offers a clean and intuitive graphical user interface designed to increase productivity and to decrease operator fatigue during the TMA workflow.
By using the TMA Control software the operator can easily design the recipient block layout. The tissue core selection is also computer assisted, the user can select the relevant tissue cores from the donor block image. If needed, the user can overlap a previously annotated slide image with the donor block image by using the automated Digital Slide Overlay functionality.
During the coring process, the software automatically records which tissue core went to which recipient block position. Then, at the end of the workflow, this TMA data can be exported to an Excel file, and will be an invaluable resource of information during the TMA slide analysis using the TMA Module software.
Key Features
