Azenta Life Sciences has officially opened its state-of-the-art biorepository facility in the Greater Boston area, designed to serve the unique storage and management needs of the biotech and life sciences industries. Located strategically to support Cambridge and Boston’s vibrant community of biotech and pharmaceutical companies, the facility offers advanced sample storage and handling capabilities, helping companies and researchers keep pace with rapidly expanding research, clinical trials, and biobanking requirements.
The facility is a practical solution for biotech and pharmaceutical firms seeking both active and archival storage solutions for clinical trial samples, ensuring the integrity and accessibility of their collections through every phase of research.
Biorepository Convenient to Boston and Cambridge
With Cambridge’s biotech hub just a short distance away, Azenta’s biorepository provides same-day sample retrieval for local samples, several storage temperatures, and a stringent quality management system to ensure convenience and peace of mind for local researchers and clinicians.
“Our location in Greater Boston is ideal for serving the high-density research and development communities in Cambridge and beyond,” said Biorepository Site Manager Gustavo Oliveira. “Proximity matters when you’re working with irreplaceable samples, and we’re committed to supporting the storage and logistical needs of companies in the area.”
“Thanks to our strategic location and well-established logistics network, our biorepository is also accessible to companies across the country, making it an ideal option not only for Boston-based organizations but for any life sciences company seeking reliable, offsite storage,” stated Kathi Shea, Vice President, Repository and Innovation.
The new biorepository also offers dedicated solutions for clinical trials, serving as a secure, offsite storage option that meets the high compliance standards required by regulators. “Our facility is equipped to accommodate diverse clinical trial storage needs, whether it’s ongoing sample access for active trials or a robust archive for long-term storage,” added Oliveira.

Azenta is now inviting industry professionals and organizations to tour the facility and explore its capabilities firsthand. “So far, we’ve hosted several tours with clients and local industry representatives, and feedback has been overwhelmingly positive,” Oliveira noted. “We’re eager to demonstrate the operational standards, technology, and commitment to sample integrity that set our facility apart.”
