Pharmaceutical manufacturers can protect products against counterfeiting and patients against potential health risks.

Schreiner MediPharm, a Germany-based global provider of specialty pharmaceutical labeling solutions, now offers a new forensic authentication feature for pharmaceutical labels in cooperation with Applied DNA Sciences.
