Affymetrix prides itself in having a diversified environment. We would like to continue on that path and work with a qualified list of Suppliers that are diversified as well. Our business is very specialized and Affymetrix is the forefront manufacturer and supplier of very complex gene chips, reagents and instrumentation systems. All of our Suppliers need to pass a rigid quality process to be added to our "Approved Supplier List" (ASL). Our key suppliers also need to be ISO and/or QSR compliant.

In some cases, due to the complexity of our business we cannot find suppliers that represent all of the government specified categories. In these areas, we actively solicit and outreach to potential suppliers and companies that may be a good fit for future goods and services.
