During your visit to Genentech for the SLAS Sample Management Symposium, you will have the opportunity to break into small groups for a guided tour of Genentech's state-of-the-art sample management facilities.
Join us for a tour of Genentech’s Biologics Sample Management facility to explore our automated cold-storage setup in action. See how the company integrates high-throughput automation into daily operations to protect sample integrity, boost processing efficiency and reliably support its R&D pipeline.
The -80°C Azenta BioArc 3 Quad Bank: Get an up-close look at Genentech's one-of-a-kind, automated ultra-low temperature storage system supporting full-scale biologics sample management.
The LN2 Azenta TeraArc: Learn how Genentech is expanding its operations to support automated, high-capacity cryogenic storage for cell line management.
Streamlined Operations: See how automated robotics limit thermal exposure, reduce manual handling errors and secure high-value biological samples.
Connect with fellow sample management peers, discuss real-world cold-chain challenges and see how automated storage performs in an active biopharma environment.
