BURLINGTON,
MA — Azenta, Inc. (Nasdaq: AZTA) announced the launch of the
BioArc™ Ultra (the “Ultra”), a breakthrough, automated solution for
high-density, eco-friendly ultracold sample management, designed to provide a
new level of performance for large-scale sample management with the potential
to forever change the landscape of biorepositories. The Ultra delivers
significant operational efficiency benefits, including footprint, labor and
electricity cost savings as compared to other commercially available systems,
while enabling customers to further their global carbon emissions reduction goals.
The Ultra is an innovative evolution stemming from Azenta’s well-established
and industry-leading automated ultracold system product range.
The Ultra features a breakthrough eco-friendly cooling system utilizing natural
air rather than manufactured, ozone-depleting refrigerants, enabling a zero-ozone
depletion potential (ODP) and zero global warming potential (GWP), two factors
that are key to sustainability needs and initiatives within life sciences
industries and applications. The innovative, eco-friendly, refrigeration
technology also reduces electric power consumption by 70 percent with a similar
reduction in storage system footprint (compared to other commercially available
manual options for similar storage capacity).
“We are proud to launch the BioArc Ultra, a breakthrough solution that offers
countless economic and environmental sustainability benefits to our customers
across the sample management landscape,” stated Dean Montano, Senior Product
Manager for Azenta’s Automated Storage Solutions. “We have always maintained
the belief that automation is the key to best-in-class sample management in
terms of sample security, collection visibility, and efficient operations, and
the Ultra takes our portfolio of offerings in this category to the next
frontier.”
The Ultra is now available for order and will be featured at the Azenta exhibit
booth #909 at Society for Laboratory Automation and Screening (SLAS) 2024
International Conference, February 3-7 in Boston, Massachusetts.
