Commercial applications across a broad spectrum of industries allow APDN to minimize revenue risk concentration and create a steady stream of income.

DNA is a form of forensic evidence trusted by police and recognized by courts around the world. APDN is the ONLY company making use of the complex codes embedded in botanical DNA as the ultimate solution to counterfeiting. Unlike holograms and RFIDs,
APDN's patented SigNature DNA markers:

• cannot be copied or reverse engineered

APDN has recently been selected to launch its SigNature DNA Anti-Counterfeiting Program for the UK and EU as the sole security platform to spearhead a multi-year, multi-million dollar contract.
