TEST with CertainT
The SigNify brand name represents the testing pillar within the CertainT® platform. Authentication is key to all of our solutions by proving that a SigNature molecular tag is present on or in an item. Our patented and proprietary authentication methodologies allow for SigNature molecular tags to be reliably detected and verified. Test results provide customers with a Certificate of DNA analysis (CODA), which can be used as evidence in courts around the world.
Our world-class forensic testing facilities are located in New York and India.
Applied DNA’s corporate headquarters are located in Stony Brook, NY, boasting over 30,000 square feet of laboratory, production and administration space.
We received our ISO 9001:2015 registration by NSF in September 2018 for our Quality Management System.
Applied DNA Sciences’ Forensic Department was accredited ISO/IEC 17025:2017 by ANAB in August 2020.
Applied DNA’s Central India Testing Laboratory provides full forensic authentication services. Based in Ahmedabad, India, the laboratory supports our growing global textile business in the Asia-Pacific region with expansion capability for other supply chains present in the region, such as fertilizer and pharmaceuticals.
“This is an important opportunity for Applied DNA to bring our proven technologies to the heart of India’s textile industry, and share our impeccable standards and operational protocols. The laboratory will have the ability to process thousands of samples, serving our textiles customers in the region,” said Dr. Ila Lansky, Director of Forensics at Applied DNA.

SigNify authentication services consist of 2 options:
• Full forensic authentication at our laboratory
• Field-level mobile units for point-of-activity authentication
SigNify IF is our In-Field authentication solution.
The SigNify® IF portable reader provides definitive real-time authentication of SigNature® molecular tags. Provides customers or third-party testing firms the ability to conduct their own test at point of activity throughout key nodes of the supply chain. Provides a true front-line solution for supply chain integrity.

fiberTyping® is a specific test associated with testing two strains of cotton, ELS and Upland
What is fiberTyping?
fiberTyping is a patented DNA test that can be used to determine if a product contains the presence of Gossypium barbadenseDNA (Extra Long Staple “ELS”), Gossypium hirsutum DNA (Upland), or a blend of both.
fiberTyping is a powerful tool to help the cotton industry ensure that products labeled as 100% ELS, or 100% Pima, are compliant with label claims.
fiberTyping is only available for SigNature T customers
What is fiberTyping with Quantification?
fiberTyping with quantification provides information about the percentage of Extra Long Staple (ELS) DNA and Upland DNA present in a “blended” sample. This service is available only when a result is determined to be a blend. Quantification is only available for greige fabrics.
