“New sciences and technologies are evaluated and selected for inclusion based on their unique offerings, cutting-edge innovation and outstanding performance,” said Kerrie Rosenheck, material specialist with Material ConneXion. “Applied DNA’s molecular tagging platform is a powerful tool with which to authenticate products throughout the global supply chain and to ensure they are truthfully labelled.”

Growing role

Upon assessment by a panel of experts in the materials field, SigNature molecular tagging was selected. With material libraries in Bangkok, Thailand; Bilbao, Spain; Daegu, South Korea; Milan, Italy; Skövde, Sweden; Tokyo, Japan; and New York City, USA, SigNature molecular tagging advancements in textile tracking and authentication aim to be an important part of the solutions for tackling product claims and authenticity challenges.
