The objective of the conference/seminar is to present to the attendees, state-of-the art applications for security technology. Considered by CTST a "cutting-edge" technology, Applied DNA Sciences was selected to make a presentation because of its "remarkable effort toward improving the security technology landscape." Applied DNA Sciences provides cost-effective, commercially available, DNA-embedded marker technologies which can be tailored to numerous applications and industries. The Applied DNA Sciences technology incorporates combinations of plant DNA that are embedded into a non-silicon based microchip (Applied DNA(TM) Chip) using a proprietary technique. The embedded DNA concentration is extremely small and is virtually impossible to be tampered with or replicated due to Applied DNA Science's proprietary stabilization and bonding processes. The unique characteristics and combinations of these DNA sequences DNA sequence Genetics The precise order of bases–A,T,G,C–in a segment of DNA, gene, chromosome, or an entire genome. See Base pair, Base sequence analysis, Chromosome, Gene, Genome. are used as tools to differentiate and verify product authenticity. The Applied DNA(TM) Security Access System is secure, versatile and uses credit card type media which is read with a slot reader in a contact or contactless point system for instant authentication. The company's proprietary technique of stabilizing the DNA sequence can retain the DNA identification qualities for more than 100 years.
