BURLINGTON, Mass., Jan. 23, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Azenta, Inc. (Nasdaq: AZTA) today announced that it has been selected as the technology provider by UK Biocentre as they expand their large-scale sample storage in support of the preservation of internationally significant sample collections. This new system is in addition to the seven Azenta BioArc™ Flex™ automated sample store systems already in place at the facility. UK Biocentre will utilize the new BioArc Ultra™ to deliver on critical research projects including the United Kingdom's largest health research program - Our Future Health.

The BioArc Ultra will be installed into UK Biocentre's 70,000 square-foot facility in Milton Keynes, England, which specializes in the management and processing of biological samples. Currently capable of storing over 35 million samples, the facility will expand its capacity to conduct large-scale biomedical research by an additional 16 million samples with BioArc Ultra's high-density, fully automated -80°C storage system with picking capability of up to 9 million picks per year. As part of the overall solution, UK Biocentre utilizes Azenta's automated systems, as well as FluidX™ 2D-coded, high-quality screw-cap tubes, to elevate inventory management quality, reduce variability, and mitigate risk for this and other vital research projects.
