Title: Illumina, Inc/ NextSeq 500/550 v2.5 sequencing reagent kits. 2. Background Information:� The Center for Cellular Engineering (CCE) is responsible for the manufacture of human cells and tissue-based products utilized in phase I/II clinical protocols for transplantation, adoptive immunotherapy and gene therapy conducted in the Clinical Center at the NIH. Cell processing procedures are tailored to each of the 30 or more different patient-care clinical research protocols supported, including CAR-T cells and iPSCs. Also, regarding Institute research support it:� 1)Develops biologics collection and manufacturing processes to support clinical trials, 2) Collects, manufactures and distribute blood components for in vitro research use, 3) Collaboration in the design, planning, execution and data analysis of clinical studies, 4) Collects and manufactures specialized cellular products to support clinical trials and, 5) Develops and evaluate assays for clinical application and biologics safety testing and cellular characterization. In addition to continuing bulk RNA-seq and TCR seq analysis on CAR-T cell and other engineered cells, We have been starting to investigate differential gene expression and protein expression simultaneously at single cell level by facilitating the reaction on BD Rhapsody single cell analysis system, including Rhapsody scanner and Rhapsody express that we just adopted recently from BD biosciences, to help us� develop� clinical lot release more efficiency to streamline workflow of CAR T cells manufacturing at CCE and clinical research as well.� 3. Purpose or Objective: Purchase of NextSeq 500/550 v2.5 sequencing reagent kits. 4. Period of Performance: ��7/30/22 to 7/29/23. 5. CONTRACTOR REQUIREMENTS Scope of Work: This is a standing order with multi-type of sequencing kits and reagents as all those kits and reagents with very short shelf life.
