Management software TMA Control

for controlquality controlvisualization

Overview
TMA Control is a dedicated software solution for managing 3DHISTECH TMA systems (Master II, Grand Master, molmed). It centralizes TMA project management, automates array construction steps and provides guided, traceable workflows to reduce operator errors and increase throughput in diagnostic and research laboratories.

Main capabilities

• Full control of 3DHISTECH TMA hardware: direct operation of Master II, Grand Master and molmed for consistent execution across platforms.
• Intuitive TMA block design: visual layout designer and customizable templates for recipient and donor blocks.
• Donor block and sample import: supports multiple spreadsheet formats to integrate existing sample inventories.
• Digital slide overlay: overlays digital-slide annotations and JPEGs on donor block images to enable precise core selection.
• Automated core placement and error checks: guidance algorithms for accurate punching and misplacement prevention.
• Real-time sample tracking and traceability: detailed tracking of each core with automated audit trails.
• Flexible array layouts: create and reuse templates for various sizes and shapes of TMAs.
• Automatic saving and reloading: project data is saved automatically to support iterative workflows and prevent data loss.
• Localization and multi-language UI: interface adapts to multiple languages for global teams.
• Integration with digital pathology and LIS: supports data exchange with laboratory information systems and pathology platforms.
• Reporting and QC visualization: high-resolution block views, comprehensive reports and audit logs for quality control and compliance.

Workflow advantages

• Higher automation level to reduce manual steps and operator workload.
• Structured project management with autosave and reload for iterative experiments.
• Precise core selection enabled by digital-slide alignment with donor blocks.
• Optimized for high-throughput environments to increase TMA production capacity.

Use cases

• Research labs building TMAs for biomarker studies, cohort profiling and screening.
• Diagnostic laboratories requiring reproducible, traceable TMA production and documentation.
• High-throughput facilities producing template-based or large-scale TMAs with automated tracking and reporting.
