Illumina NextSeq 2000 Sequencing System *SOLE SOURCE* RFP
Provide an Illumina NextSeq 2000 Sequencing System to replace the Illumina NextSeq 550 system that is approaching end-of-life status. The following are the required minimum essential characteristics of the Sequencer: The system shall be compatible with the existing, forensically validated in-house custom Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) assays for whole mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) genome and nuclear Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP) analysis. Shall be a next-generation sequencing (NGS) based platform incorporating cluster generation and sequencing into a single, integrated workflow with onboard data analysis. Shall utilize XLEAP Sequencing by Synthesis (SBS) chemistry, which is 2.5x faster and provides higher fidelity than previous SBS versions. This is essential for compatibility with currently validated laboratory assays. See outside link.
