Azenta, Inc.
A life sciences company that helps researchers around the world store, manage, and analyze biological samples. Its automated ultra-cold freezers, sample tubes and vials, lab software, and cold-chain logistics keep everything from clinical-trial specimens to blood samples safe, while its GENEWIZ brand provides gene sequencing and DNA synthesis services. Founded in 1978 in Massachusetts as Brooks Automation, it spent decades building robots for making semiconductors before pivoting to biological samples and renaming itself Azenta in late 2021. Fittingly, the same robotics know-how that once handled delicate silicon wafers now gently shuffles frozen vials in automated freezers—an unexpected turn from chips to cells.
