           Illumina, Inc is the original equipment manufacturer. Illumina, Inc sequencing reagent kits and library generation kits is used for CCE ongoing study of bulk RNA-seq, TCR-seq and single cell DNA-seq performed in PACT section of CCE. Illumina NextSeq 2000 sequencing reagent kits and library generation kits delivers the power of high-throughput sequencing on a benchtop system with increased stability and robustness. The kits deliver powerful sequencing chemistries with as little as 10 minutes of hands-on time. Intuitive labeling and RFID-encoded reagents ensure compatibility with user-defined run configurations. Ready-to-use cartridges redefine ease-of-use. Illumina is the only vendor that provides these reagent kits which are compatible with their NextSeq 2000 sequencer for CCE lab. Illumina, Inc manufacturing operations are regulated by the Current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMPs) as mandated by the Food and Drug Administration. Illumina, Inc has been approved by the Center for Cellular Engineering Quality Assurance Department for use in these protocols.  Switching to another vendor would require requalification of the processes, which would be both costly and time-consuming for the government.  Moreover, the delays in requalifying this material could result in treatment delays for patients, potentially affecting their clinical outcomes and the interpretation of the efficacy of the treatments under evaluation in clinical trials.  Therefore, only Illumina, Inc is the only source capable of fulfilling this requirement.
