Applied DNA system to be used to tag upcoming cotton harvest

20/07/2018
Applied DNA Sciences, a provider of DNA-based product authentication solutions, has revealed it received and shipped a $1.15 million order to tag cotton in the upcoming ginning season during the third quarter of its fiscal year (ended June 30).

The order for its SigNature T DNA transfer system will be used to tag, test and track three US cotton varietals: Pima, Acala and Delta. 

“We are pleased that ongoing efforts to build the market for tagged, traceable and sustainable cotton are converting into new orders across all three main US varietals, reflecting recurring use of tagged cotton across the home textile category,” said Dr James Hayward, president and CEO of Applied DNA.

He added: “As brands and retailers continue to deploy strategies and technologies to ensure brand protection, label compliance and consumer assurance, our molecular tagging technology platform is ideally positioned to protect their supply chains by providing assurance of quality and provenance, and helps brands guarantee claims with certainty.”
