Applied DNA Sciences, a leader in polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based DNA manufacturing for product authenticity and traceability solutions, has entered into a partnership with Molecular Isotope Technologies (MIT), a pioneer and leader in the application of natural-abundance stable-isotopic analysis provided under the trademarks Nature’s Fingerprint and IsoPedigree.

MIT’s technology utilises stable isotopic “fingerprints” as a method for verification of product origin and supply chain processing to support product claims. For 20 years the company has provided patented services to the bio/pharmaceutical industry, which have been successfully employed in various legal matters, supporting pharmaceutical patent-infringement and fraud lawsuits.

These authentication services are tailored to specific product and supply chain processes and will be offered by Applied DNA as an additional component of its CertainT platform to tag, test and track raw materials and finished goods. MIT will support and promote the CertainT platform as a service complementary to its own.
