Dr. James Hayward, CEO of APDN commented,“SigNature DNA is very versatile. It can be embedded into any fiber or polymeric raw material used in technical textile products. Medical textiles, protective clothing, performance clothing for work or outdoor activities, as well as nonwoven materials, can also benefit from SigNature DNA identification and authentication. SigNature markers can enable any manufacturer of synthetic fibers or any farmer of natural fibers to trace the inclusion of their fibers in retail goods.”

SigNature DNA is fast becoming recognized by the textile and apparel industry not only for cotton, but a wide range of commercial and industrial textile applications. Based on the patented botanical, green technology employed by APDN, SigNature DNA can be used to mark raw fiber, yarn, woven and non-woven labels and even the garment itself. The flexibility and high specificity of SigNature DNA enable the manufacture of a practically unlimited variety of product markers. Every SKU in the world could potentially be uniquely marked.

APDN sells patented DNA security solutions to protect products, brands and intellectual property from counterfeiting and diversion. SigNature DNA is a botanical mark used to authenticate products in a unique manner that essentially cannot be copied. APDN also provides BioMaterial GenoTyping by detecting genomic DNA in natural materials to authenticate finished products. Both technologies protect brands and products in a wide range of industries and provide a forensic chain of evidence that can be used to prosecute perpetrators.
