A patent portfolio containing over 128 U.S. and foreign patents supports the Affymetrix system. Issued U.S. patents include, but are not limited to, the fields of arrays, reagents, sample preparation, DNA synthesis, devices, software/data analysis, specific genes and methods of biological analysis. *** ***Delivery shall be FOB Destination, Gaithersburg, MD, and is required within 30 days from receipt of order.*** ***The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this acquisition is 333314, and the size standard is 500 employees.*** ***No solicitation package will be issued.
