STONY BROOK, NY--(Marketwired - Apr 4, 2013) - Applied DNA Sciences, Inc. (OTCBB: APDN), (Twitter: @APDN), a provider of DNA-based anti-counterfeiting technology and product authentication solutions, announced today a Letter of Intent (LOI) with Markem-Imaje Corporation (Keene, NH), establishing Applied DNA Sciences as an authorized reseller of Markem-Imaje Fluid inks. The LOI is specifically related to the application of SigNature® DNA botanical markers added into Markem-Imaje inks. This supports suppliers in meeting the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) requirement for SigNature DNA marking on a class of electronics provided to the Agency.
Markem-Imaje is a top supplier of inks to the electronics industry, both military and commercial, and is said to be the world's largest provider of product identification solutions.
"This expanded relationship will create new opportunities for Applied DNA Sciences to support the DLA requirement for the use of DNA on microcircuits, and will provide additional synergies with other Markem-Imaje products," said Dr. James A. Hayward, CEO and President of Applied DNA Sciences. "Markem-Imaje is interested in further expanding its product line with SigNature DNA, and feels that a working relationship with Applied DNA Sciences would provide the best solution to accomplish that goal."
The Authorized Reseller agreement will enable APDN to resell a set of Markem-Imaje Fluid inks, which APDN then inoculates with its proprietary SigNature DNA unique to each customer. Markem-Imaje and APDN are also looking at the possible development of other ink products suitable for application on a broad range of substrates that will provide APDN customers access to the increased line of Markem-Imaje products and printing solutions. The DLA requirement stipulates that the Agency will only procure FSC 5962 (microcircuits) that use SigNature DNA marking.
"With Applied DNA Sciences as an authorized seller of Markem-Imaje inks, I believe the supply of SigNature DNA for electronics will be simpler, faster, and more easily meet the DLA requirement. This will facilitate usage for customers already using SigNature DNA in Markem-Imaje inks, as well as those future SigNature DNA-customers who have experience with Markem-Imaje inks," continued Dr. Hayward.
"We are working with APDN to make available SigNature DNA-marked inks, and to develop new solutions for Markem-Imaje inks that incorporate this dynamic technology. The innovative nature of SigNature DNA technology provides our Fluid ink customers with a unique value for ensuring that products and supply chains are protected," said Markem-Imaje Vice President of Marketing Christophe Lopez.
