Applied DNA to Exhibit Security Print Platform Developed With Videojet Technologies at Defense Manufacturing
Conference 2017 in Tampa on December 4-6
Co-Branded Applied DNA SigNature ® Molecular-Tagged Videojet Inks and
Co-Branded Printer on Display at Booth #1019
Applied DNA Sciences, Inc. (“Applied DNA,” “the company,” NASDAQ:APDN) will exhibit its new security print
platform developed with Videojet Technologies (Videojet) at the Defense Manufacturing Conference 2017 (DMC 2017) in Tampa, FL on
December 4-6 at Booth #1019. Janice Meraglia, Vice President of Government & Military Programs, and Bob MacDowell, Director of
Government & Military Programs, will be attending the conference.
The platform utilizes Videojet’s recently released 1860 continuous inkjet printer, which is co-branded with Applied DNA, along
with co-branded Videojet inks that incorporate Applied DNA’s unique SigNature ® molecular tag into each
individual Smart CartridgeTM ink cartridge. The SigNature molecular ink is a turnkey, high-volume ink that offers
per-part traceability. The inks are brand-specific, enabling each brand to tag, test and track their products from source to shelf
under a CertainT® licensing agreement.
The initial rollout of co-branded SigNature molecular-tagged inks includes an aerospace-approved ink. This durable black ink was
chosen to qualify first, due to its specific application and use in the U.S. military and aerospace industry for item unique
identifier (IUID) tags for an array of critical components spanning several Federal Supply Groups (FSGs).
Janice Meraglia said, “We look forward to showcasing this unique platform, which is designed to enable defense suppliers to
forensically tag products and packaging. Once tagged, other supply chain participants can independently conduct in-field tests
along the supply chain, track globally to certify product claims, and prevent diversion and counterfeits.”
The DMC is where top government and industry leaders and manufacturing subject matter experts gather to communicate and
collaborate on policies, strategic direction, best practices, funding opportunities, and the latest innovations in support of
defense manufacturing priorities. The DMC will be conducted simultaneously with the Diminishing Manufacturing Sources and Material
Shortages (DMSMS) Conference.
