Lintech Components Receives Signature DNA Marker Certificate From Applied DNA Sciences

Ronkonkoma, NY-August 14, 2013- Lintech Components is pleased to announce its approval for and assignment of a unique SigNature DNA Mark from Applied DNA Sciences— (ADNAS), a company that has developed botanical DNA-based security and authenticity solutions to protect products, brands, and other property from counterfeiting in both the United States and Europe.

Applied Science’s SigNature DNA is an engineered mark derived from plant DNA, the aim of which is to authenticate the originality of the immediate source of a component at any point in its supply chain. The marking is used as a tool to mitigate the risk of misrepresented and counterfeit parts from entering the market. 

Lintech Components will become a certified SigNature DNA in-house marker after the internal training process has been completed. The process involves an on-site audit by ADNAS assessing facility logistics such as security of the area where the DNA will be stored, along with a review of other inspection and distribution quality controls. After passing the audit, Lintech’s professional inspectors would then receive on-site training for DNA-marking application and forensic analysis swabbing.

“Lintech’s approval for and assignment of the ADNAS Signature DNA mark reflects our on-going efforts to mitigate the risk of infiltration of counterfeit and substandard product from entering the supply chain. As an adopter of SigNature DNA marking, our strategy is to contribute to the emergence of a forensically secure and robust supply-chain”, stated Ken Linden, President of Lintech Components.
