Salient Characteristics

- The sequencing system shall have the ability for production-scale genome, exome, and transcriptome sequencing.

-The sequencing system shall use sequencing-by-synthesis as the core technological operating principle.

-The sequencing system shall have at least two flow cells.

-The sequencing system shall have the ability to perform at least 2 run modes, encompassing base pair reads with ranges including (10 – 180) gigabases (Gb) and (50 - 1000 Gb) capability.

-The sequencing system shall have a minimum read length of at least 50 giga-base pairs.

-The sequencing system shall perform at least 1 billion reads per run.

-The sequencing system shall sequence a human genome in no more than 6 days.

-The sequencing system shall fit within a lab space of 48 in x 30 in x 48 in (WxDxH) and weigh less than 500 lb.

-The sequencing system shall include an uninterruptible power supply backup.

-All supplied software, operating systems, databases, etc. (excluding vendor developed application software) must be on the National Information Assurance Partnership approved products list found at https:/niap-ccevs.org/or https:/www.commoncriterisportal.org. (This includes embedded software.)

Vendor/manufacturer must provide proof that supplied software is on this approved list and must be willing to complete an appropriate Information Assurance (IA) certification on device. Required proof is a print screen from one of the web sites above for each software component, and a letter of intent from manufacturer to work the IA certification process.
