Applied DNA and Nissha partner for authentication technology

Applied DNA Sciences and Nissha Printing have combined technologies to produce a unique, highly secure printing system using botanically-derived DNA authenticating markers.  

Plant DNA ink is a security product from Applied DNA that is claimed to offer ‘forensic, absolute proof of authenticity’. The new Nissha system allows this plant DNA ink to be printed directly onto a label or package, using inkjet and other printing systems developed by Nissha.  Together, the two technologies result in an ‘impenetrable security system’ applicable to a wide range of products.

Using this new system, products can be instantly verified as genuine in the field, using a special handheld detector. This could happen at the point of sale or at any point along the supply chain. As is typical with Applied DNA markers, a second forensic level of authentication is also available by sending the suspect product to an Applied DNA lab.
