STONY BROOK, N.Y. April 10, 2018 – 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.
