Supply Chain Management Tool Provides Proactive Global Tag-Test-Track
Capability with Both Black and Invisible Inks Qualified
STONY BROOK, N.Y. -- (Business Wire)
Applied
DNA Sciences, Inc. (NASDAQ: APDN) (“Applied DNA” or “the Company”)
will debut its security print platform solution featuring the Videojet
1860M continuous inkjet (CIJ) printer at INTERPHEX 2018 in Booth 3957 at
the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center in New York City on April 17-19.
“This comprehensive supply chain certification solution allows
manufacturers and brands to implement a secure tag, test and track
capability into existing production lines quickly,” said Janice
Meraglia, Vice President of Government and Military Programs at Applied
DNA. “We are looking forward to demonstrating this comprehensive supply
chain certification solution at INTERPHEX to pharmaceutical, biotech and
medical device companies along with our partner, Videojet.”
Applied DNA’s security platform allows companies to tag, test and track
a unique molecular tag applied to products or packaging during the
manufacturing process. It provides a supply chain management tool to
proactively track items globally, adding another level of protection
against counterfeits and diversion, transforming the inkjet code into a
comprehensive supply chain certification solution. The platform
compliments a range of consumer, corporate and government initiatives:
-
Communication of covert code information directly from customer to
brand owner
-
Serialization being implemented by global pharmaceutical companies
-
Authentication for counterfeit avoidance under review by government
agencies
SigNature® molecular ink, delivered with a Videojet 1860M printer, is
created with the addition of a unique, secure molecular tag and is
qualified in both black (V4221M) and invisible (V4259M) which can
fluoresce blue under UV.
The molecular tags facilitate traceability of products and packaging,
enabling such claims as the forensic certification of origin,
authenticity, provenance, quality, ethics, integrity, or sustainability.
The print platform features black and clear inks to meet various
application needs associated with supply chain management and brand
protection. In addition to pharmaceuticals, biopharma and medical
devices, the solution crosses other industries such as food and
beverage, aero defense/industrial parts and others.
Representatives from Applied DNA and Videojet will be conducting
demonstrations at Booth 3957 during the show. For more information,
