Campolo, Middleton & McCormick, LLP represented Applied DNA Sciences, Inc. (NASDAQ: APDN) in the negotiation of an agreement with textile manufacturer Himatsingka America, Inc. to incorporate the company’s molecular tag technology, SigNatureĀ® T, in products sold to retailers such as Bed Bath & Beyond and Costco where source-traceable product is now available nationwide and online.

Applied DNA Sciences provides DNA-based supply chain, anti-counterfeiting and anti-theft technology, product genotyping, and product authentication solutions.  SigNature T is a molecular tag that attaches to cotton fiber at the gin, ensuring reliable traceability and verification throughout an entire supply chain. SigNature T enables verification that PimacottĀ®-branded products sold to consumers, including comforters, pillow cases, and shams, are made from pure Pima cotton, grown in the San Joaquin Valley, California. It also powers the Himatsingka-branded ā€œHomeGrownā„¢ – Cotton Proudly Grown in the USAā€ cotton products verifying traceability to gins in Arkansas, Texas, and California.

ā€œToday, consumers care deeply about where their products originate.  With our technology, retailers and brands can be confident that the products on their shelves are true to the label,ā€ said Dr. James Hayward, President and CEO of Applied DNA Sciences.

ā€œOne of the thrills of working on Long Island is when you can represent one of its gems,ā€ said Joe Campolo, Managing Partner of Campolo, Middleton & McCormick.  ā€œApplied DNA Sciences, under Jim Hayward’s leadership, is a truly innovative company and this deal will help bring product transparency to millions of consumers.ā€
