Applied DNA Sciences, a provider of DNA-based anti-counterfeiting technology and product authentication solutions, has announced that its SigNature T DNA textile marking and authentication program has been initiated by the Crypton Companies, performance textiles and related products delivering company.

Compatible with environmentally preferable chemistries, SigNature T DNA is expected to provide Crypton with a comprehensive supply chain solution, assuring that the original ingredients or raw materials used are verified in the finished product, Applied DNA Sciences said in a press release.

The partnership contemplates increased application in volume and in scale over time, for SigNature T DNA to provide solutions for multiple product categories, as well as in markets globally. The agreement will enable Crypton to mark with SigNature T DNA, and submit samples for authentication based on an annual volume-based commitment.

Over the past year, Applied DNA Sciences and Crypton have been collaborating on a major textile initiative to help protect and authenticate SigNature T DNA-marked fabrics. The durability of SigNature T DNA was proven after a year of extensive prototyping and testing of DNA in a wide range of treatments and fabric types.

James A Hayward, president and CEO of Applied DNA Sciences said, “SigNature T DNA is all about providing clarity so that sourcing and supply chain managers can ensure that the products at point of manufacture are traceable to point of sale. This is something that affects every stakeholder in the supply chain.”

Highly secure, robust, durable and cost-effective, SigNature DNA markers can be used as a forensic complement to barcodes, watermarks, holograms, RFIDs, microdots, or any other security platform.

Crypton distributes its performance textiles and related products through more than 50 US distributors and major distributors worldwide. Using a patented process, Crypton is leading the industry with its performance textile solutions that are stain, water and bacteria-resistant.

Using biotechnology as a forensic foundation, Applied DNA Sciences creates unique security solutions addressing the challenges of modern commerce. (GK)
