First Application Underway
STONY BROOK, NY--(Marketwired - Nov 13, 2013) - Applied DNA
Sciences (OTCQB: APDN), (Twitter: @APDN), a provider of DNA-based
anti-counterfeiting technology and product authentication
solutions, announced today that Brink's, a leading global security
solutions provider, has purchased a unique SigNature® DNA mark
capable of deployment by Brink's in various worldwide
operations.
The first Brink's SigNature DNA application will use the unique
Brink's mark to protect cash and high-value items using a security
tape for loss prevention purposes. Materials and support for the
application will also come from The Label Printers, a leading
custom label and packaging corporation globally.
SigNature DNA marks may be used in a variety of applications
such as APDN's DNA Fog product, designed to repel and identify
intruders into large areas such as warehouses, as well as
evidentiary marking on individual items such as jewelry, protection
of ATMs, and cash transport.
Based in Richmond, Virginia, Brink's is a global leader in
security-related services for banks, financial institutions,
retailers, government agencies, mints, jewelers, and a variety
of other commercial and governmental customers. The SigNature
DNA mark is relevant to many of these Brink's businesses, such as
protection of high value items in transit, antitheft applications
in banks and cash depots, and protection of cargo.
Richard Schurtleff, Brink's Senior Vice President for Global
Security, commented:
"We believe Applied DNA Sciences technology provides great value
and a key differentiator for our product lines. We look
forward to exploring integration of the technology into our
security applications worldwide."

"We believe the collaboration between The Label Printers,
Brink's, and Applied DNA Sciences has enormous potential for the
security industry. We are excited to be a part of it."

partnership with Brink's on unique and important security
applications such as this one."
