Comprehensive clinical sample management solutions accelerating study timelines, trial outcomes and patient health.

 

 

Clinical Trial Management

The benchmark in sample management

Sample management is a complex process. Clinical samples are often collected in many locations and then, transported, stored, processed, and analyzed by multiple vendors. This fragmented approach to sample management can lead to spiraling sample storage costs, slow sample transfer times, data management difficulties, and poor chain of custody records.

Azenta Life Sciences offers a complete, integrated sample management solution that solves these issues, enabling improved study timelines with increased sample integrity and sample utilization which, ultimately, can help accelerate trial outcomes and patient health.

Our extensive experience in managing clinical trials spans all therapeutic areas, regardless of phase or size, within one global, interconnected platform. Our experts will work with you to customize our suite of services to fit your individual sample management needs.

Clinical Sample Storage

  • Automated and manual storage solutions to support
    • Short-term storage (STS)
      Active/prospective clinical trial samples to batch and prepare for planned and unplanned testing requirements
    • Long-term storage (LTS)
      Legacy samples for future use, or regulatory retention samples
  • We offer flexible sample management services at the customer site, and Azenta site; as well as hybrid, and virtual storage models

Clinical Sample Lifecycle Management

Sample Lifecycle Management

 

  • PLAN
    Our sample lifecycle solutions, protocols, and continuity plans are tailored to your research goals, sample types, and project priorities.

  • COLLECT
    Our cold-chain logistics support active clinical trials. Our team will consolidate your sample assets into an efficient onsite or Azenta site biorepository at the end of a study.

  • TRANSPORT
    We guarantee an auditable chain of custody for each sample. Our experts partner with leading international surface and air carriers to securely ship samples across the globe.

  • PROCESS
    Our configurable hardware and software solutions for sample preparation, analytical services, and data management meet the highest expectations of leading global organizations.

  • PROTECT
    Our carefully monitored and temperature-controlled environments, secure access facilities, FDA-compliant software, and purpose-built redundancies account for every possible standard in protecting your sample and data assets.

  • RETRIEVE
    Our biorepository network guarantees sample retrieval and secure shipment within 24 hours of a request - for one vial or one thousand, anywhere in the world.

  • ANALYZE
    Sample value comes from the data contained within. Our single platform informatics and data integration solutions empower your discovery and development decisions.

  • RE-PURPOSE
    The usability of samples is extended by securing the highest integrity of sample preparation, and bioprocessing based on best-practice protocols. We will collaborate with you to realize efficiencies by maximizing the value of your sample assets.

  • DISPOSE
    Our regulatory-compliant sample destruction processes provide a more efficient way of managing rationalization and disposal of stored samples.

Our suite of services supports management of legacy collections for future use, active clinical trial samples, and retention samples.
