Plan
Our sample lifecycle solutions, protocols, and continuity plans are tailored to your research goals, sample types, and project priorities. Our project managers can help plan and manage any sample-related projects, including collection kit design, virtual sample inventory management, and aligning project-specific KPIs (Key performance indicators) and KQIs (Key quality indicators).
Additional support for your clinical trial management includes:
- Consent management
- Standard and custom labeling services
- Custom sorting and blinding services
Collect
Our cold-chain logistics services support active clinical trials, including consolidation of your sample assets into an efficient solution on-site or at an Azenta-site biorepository.
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, or our own transport experts are available for bulk shipments within North America.
Process
Our customizable solutions for sample preparation, analytical services, and data management meet the highest expectations of leading global organizations to maintain sample integrity and quality control.
Protect
Our carefully monitored and temperature-controlled environments, regulatory certifications (cGMP, GDP, GTP), secure access facilities, software that supports FDA compliance, and purpose-built redundancies account for every possible standard in protecting your sample and data assets.
Sample Access Options
- Active clinical trial samples: Our team ensures samples are retrieved, processed, stored, and distributed on time, every time. We can do much of your analysis at our GENEWIZ labs or send samples to central labs, specialty labs, or contract research organizations (CROs) as needed.
- Legacy samples for future use: Samples are kept easily accessible and with annotation, including consent.
- Retention samples: Samples are stored in secure units with audit trails for proper regulatory compliance.
Temperatures
- Ambient and controlled room temperature (CRT)
- Freezer/Refrigeration (+5°C to -20°C)
- Ultra-low freezer (-40°C to -80°C)
- Liquid nitrogen (-150°C to -196°C)
Retrieve
Our biorepository network guarantees sample retrieval and secure shipment within 24 hours of a request - from one vial to one thousand of your samples in a day, 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. Whether you need a fit-for-purpose assay or to examine the multiome of a sample, leverage GENEWIZ Multiomics and Synthesis Services to gain further insights.
From kit to assay design to analysis, Azenta is your partner. Our services include:
- Biospecimen processing
- Genomics services
- Transcriptomic services
- Epigenomics services
- Proteomics services
Re-Purpose
Your sample’s journey doesn’t need to end here, sample utilization is extended by securing the highest integrity of preparation and bioprocessing based on best-practice protocols, ensuring your samples are ready to repeat the lifecycle for the next project.
Dispose
If you will no longer need a sample for your research, our compliant sample destruction processes provide an efficient way to manage the rationalization and disposal of stored samples.
