APDN SigNature DNA Thread can help textile vendors, clothing and accessory manufacturers and governments authenticate thread, yarn and fabric at any stage in the supply chain. The effectiveness of Signature DNA Markers in authenticating sewing thread has been independently verified by Idaho National Laboratories which is managed and operated by Battelle Energy Alliance LLC for the Department of Energy.

“Champion Thread strives to be at the forefront of technology and innovation in our industry and this agreement underscores that commitment once again.” commented Bob Poovey, Champion's president. “We are excited about working with Applied DNA Sciences and the use of DNA-embedded sewing threads."

Dr. James A. Hayward, CEO of Applied DNA Sciences added, “We are pleased to enhance our relationship with Champion Thread, one of the leading sewing thread suppliers in the country."

"With this OEM relationship in place, we are now better able to service the anti-counterfeiting needs of textile and luxury brand owners. This is one more indication of the many ways in which SigNature DNA can be utilized to authenticate a wide variety of products and provides entrée into another important market where counterfeiting continues to grow.”
