TMA Grand Master 2.6 – User’s Guide
5 Using TMA Grand Master
If you remove a donor block to which cores are selected to be transferred, the software
displays a message to warn you to place the block back to its position.
The lock on the right side of the donor block represents the status of the door of the device.
If this icon pulsates in red and green, it means that there is a donor block from which all of
the selected cores are extracted. If this happens, you must click the lock button first on the
GUI, then the button on the door to open it.
The lock automatically turns green after a process is finished. Each time after you remove or
replace a block, the camera records the block position, so the software displays an updated
image almost instantly.
Important!
Make sure when removing finished donor block (if every core selected for PCR transfer
has been extracted and loaded into the PCR tube) together with the relating PCR tube.
The following message is displayed to inform you about position number of the donor
and the relating PCR tubes.
Important!
If you replace the donor block but the PCR tube for the given position remains in the
cassette and additional cores will be selected for PCR extraction, the PCR tube will
contain cores from different blocks.
6. To export donor block-related data into a spreadsheet file after finishing the blocks, click the
Export
button in the toolbar. For more information, see section

data
