hits:49 Date:06/02/26
Azenta Life Sciences has announced a collaboration with PulpFixin®, a pioneering manufacturer of sustainable labware, to help laboratories reduce plastic waste without sacrificing performance, traceability, or operational efficiency.
The collaboration brings together Azenta’s expertise in sample management and lab automation with PulpFixin’s AutoRack 100% recyclable storage platform to provide scalable sustainability improvements without requiring major workflow redesign, automation revalidation or disruption to existing sample management workflows.
Michael Bussmann, Vice President and General Manager of Consumables and Instruments said “At Azenta, we’re committed to advancing more environmentally responsible laboratory workflows and supporting customers as they work toward their sustainability goals”.
“We’ve already taken steps in this direction, including offering SBS racks made with 90% recycled content, and we continue to look for ways to expand lower-impact options across our portfolio. By combining PulpFixin’s biodegradable rack platform with established FluidX sample management workflows, we’re enabling laboratories to reduce reliance on conventional plastic lab consumables, while maintaining compatibility with automation systems, sample integrity, cold-chain performance and operational scalability.”
“Azenta has consistently demonstrated leadership in helping laboratories modernize operations while addressing evolving customer expectations around sustainability,” said Chad Jenkins, CEO of PulpFixin. “This collaboration represents a shared commitment to delivering solutions that support laboratory performance, automation compatibility and environmental responsibility without increasing operational burden or cost.” He added “Together we aim to provide laboratories with scalable sample management solutions that reduce the hidden costs associated with plastic waste disposal, recycling logistics, and sustainability reporting requirements across laboratory operations”.
