Applied DNA Sciences & Techmer PM Offer DNA Tagging for Fiber

Stony Brook, NY, Clinton, TN, September 9, 2015—Applied DNA Sciences, Inc., a provider of DNA-based anti-counterfeiting technology, supply chain, and product authentication solutions, and Techmer PM, a producer of value-added colors and additives for the plastics and fiber industries, have announced a partnership that applies DNA tagging to fiber applications.

Techmer PM is collaborating with Applied DNA Sciences to apply the patented SigNature T DNA system to tag and authenticate polymer-based fiber materials.

This application will provide consumer and industrial product manufacturers the ability to protect their products by applying SigNature T to masterbatch pellets at the point of origin and verify products as they move throughout the supply chain.

Ultimately, SigNature T helps to protect products and brands from counterfeiting, providing forensic evidence, and a trail to the source. It is safe and performs successfully in film and fibers, among other materials.
