Marketwired
Applied DNA Sciences, Inc. (OTCQB: APDN), (Twitter: @APDN) a
provider of DNA-based anti-counterfeiting technology and product
authentication solutions, announces that Karim Berrada, Director of
DNA Formulation, will be presenting at the 72nd Plenary Session of
the International Cotton Advisory Committee (ICAC) at Cartagena,
Colombia, September 29, 2013. Dr. Berrada will also be
participating in a roundtable to present the company's
anti-counterfeiting platform, as recently tested at 5 ton (metric)
on raw ELS cotton.
The ICAC is an association of ten governments of cotton
producing, consumer, and trading countries formed in 1939. It is
the most important international association providing transparency
to the world cotton market by serving as a clearinghouse for
technical information on cotton production and by serving as a
forum for discussion of cotton issues of international
significance.
At the conference, Dr. Berrada will present recent results using
APDN's highly cost-effective and proven way to authenticate
originality and verify provenance of fibers, yarn, fabric, garments
and labels. Items are marked with a unique, secure and enduring
botanically-derived DNA signature that can be definitively
authenticated at any point in the supply chain. Counterfeiters and
thieves are identified and convicted, future offenders are
deterred.
Dr. Berrada recently led a fully successful trial of the
company's technology, demonstrating its capability to protect ELS
cotton fibers at massive scale. Working with cotton authorities
internationally, APDN's SigNature DNA Mark was applied to ELS
cotton fibers at the ginning phase. The identifying marks adhered
directly to the fiber using a proprietary process, and survived the
entire finishing process including washing, dyeing and other
aggressive industrial treatments, and physical threats.
Dr. Berrada can be heard at the ICAC Roundtable for
Biotechnology in Cotton, September 29, 2013, 14:30 p.m., as the
Hilton Hotel in Cartagena, Colombia. The conference in Cartagena
provides a global platform for all topics of interest to the cotton
industry including new technologies like APDN's. The conference
also encourages younger entrepreneurs, issues of visibility to
women and the impacts of land ownership patterns.
