Additional Features and Capabilities of TMALab Include


Design Array Blocks
  • Record array layouts and associate clinical data in Spectrum Plus while building the physical array block-before any slides have been scanned.
Quickly Segment Digital TMA Slides
  • Use predefined array blocks to automatically segment whole-slide images.
Manage your TMA Data
  • Employ an advanced relational database to maintain the relationships between array blocks, specimens, cores, and slides.
Remotely View and Annotate TMA Images
  • Access serial section ("spot") images associated with any core. Easily retrieve and compare spots across any number of arrays based on search criteria.
Automate Image Processing
  • Submit batch jobs for server-side image analysis using any of our analysis packages (IHC nuclear, IHC membrane, color deconvolution and co-localization algorithms). Interface with your existing Image-Pro Plus Macros or build your own custom analysis tools using C++.
Export Images
  • Spot images can be exported in batch mode to TIFF, SVS, or JPEG file formats so that they can be loaded into third-party applications.
Export Data
  • Easily correlate analytical data with clinical information by exporting in batch mode to a variety of standard formats for further statistical analysis: TXT, CSV, Excel.
