Sampled and AutoGen Announce Partnership for Next-Gen Nucleic Acid Extraction and Multiomic Workflows

PISCATAWAY, N.J., Oct. 24, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Sampled, a fully integrated analytical
laboratory and biorepository offering end-to-end sample processing and multiomic analysis,
announced a strategic partnership with AutoGen to expand access to specialized nucleic acid
extraction technologies that complement Sampled’s robust in-house workflows. AutoGen, a
leader in automated nucleic acid extraction, provides targeted solutions optimized for sample
types such as FFPE tissue, large- and small-volume blood, buccal swabs, liquid biopsies, and
plant material. Through this partnership, Sampled will refer to AutoGen samples for unique or
challenging projects—such as those involving rare sample types, unusual input volumes, or
specialized extraction chemistries. AutoGen will refer clients requiring large-scale extractions,
analytical testing, or multiomic characterization directly to Sampled to leverage its integrated
laboratory infrastructure and biorepository services. The niche workflows provided by AutoGen
will serve as an upstream complement to Sampled’s comprehensive laboratory and data
generation services, ensuring that all downstream characterization and sequencing remain
within Sampled’s integrated analytical ecosystem.

Efficient nucleic acid extraction remains a critical foundation for advanced applications like next-
generation sequencing (NGS), proteomics, and cell-based discovery. Sampled performs a wide
range of extractions internally as part of its integrated “sample-to-discovery” model, which
includes sample collection, cellular processing, multiomic sequencing, iPSC generation,
histology, spatial genomics, bioinformatics, and biobanking.

Together, Sampled and AutoGen expand the range of extraction methods available to
researchers while preserving the continuity of an integrated analytical laboratory and
biorepository environment. This partnership ensures that clients can access the right extraction
tools for each unique scientific challenge—whether through Sampled’s in-house workflows or
specialized instrumentation from AutoGen—without ever compromising data integrity or chain of
custody.
