Applied DNA Sciences (NASDAQ:APDN) has received a follow-on order valued at over $500,000 for Linea™ DNA from a global manufacturer of in vitro diagnostics (IVDs). This order, placed under a long-standing supply agreement, is for non-therapeutic DNA used in a cancer diagnostic test. The company plans to deliver the order over four quarterly shipments in calendar 2025.
The accelerated receipt of this annually recurring order, coming less than a year after the previous one, suggests a strong customer commitment to Linea DNA. Applied DNA has been servicing this customer with multiple gram-scale orders for nearly a decade, positioning itself well to meet the growing DNA needs of the diagnostic industry and potentially expand its IVD customer base for increased recurring order-flow.
Applied DNA Sciences (NASDAQ:APDN) has announced the expansion of its clinical testing services for Mpox (formerly monkeypox) to include both Clade I and Clade II detection. This launch follows interactions with regulatory bodies, including the New York State Department of Health (NYSDOH) and the FDA. The company's subsidiary, Applied DNA Clinical Labs (ADCL), will provide the testing service from its CLEP/CLIA molecular diagnostics laboratory in Stony Brook, N.Y.
The Linea™ Mpox Virus 1.0 Assay was previously approved for Clade II detection by NYSDOH in September 2022. In August 2024, ADCL validated the assay's ability to detect Clade I, which is the subject of the WHO's recent public health emergency declaration. This expanded testing service aims to support New York and other states in responding to the growing mpox threat by improving testing accessibility.
Applied DNA Sciences (NASDAQ:APDN) has been awarded a subcontract by LRQA for a pilot isotopic testing program in Pakistan. The project, part of the Global Trace Protocol initiative, aims to reduce child and forced labor in global supply chains through traceability. Applied DNA will use its CertainT platform, which employs isotope testing, DNA tagging, and genomic testing for cotton textile traceability.
The project is funded by the U.S. Department of Labor with a total of $4 million in federal funds. Applied DNA will work with Isotech to conduct isotopic analysis of raw materials and products at key points in the cotton textile value chain. This initiative aligns with new import regulations requiring verification of cotton origin to ensure it doesn't come from high-risk sources.
Applied DNA Sciences (NASDAQ:APDN) has submitted a validation package to the New York State Department of Health (NYSDOH) to expand its Linea™ Mpox Virus 1.0 Assay to include both mpox clade I and clade II. The company's validation studies confirmed that the assay's primers and probe have 100% homology to mpox clade I and clade Ib, the latter being the subject of the WHO's recent public health emergency declaration.
The assay was previously approved for detecting mpox clade II in September 2022. If approved for clade I, Applied DNA could provide clinical testing services for both clades in its Stony Brook, N.Y. laboratory for samples from New York State and states recognizing New York's CLEP/CLIA certification.
Applied DNA Sciences (NASDAQ:APDN) has announced plans to expand the intended use of its Linea™ Mpox Virus 1.0 Assay to include detection of mpox Clade I, following the WHO's recent declaration of a public health emergency. The company's internal data suggests the assay can detect mpox Clade I's genetic sequence, and validation studies are underway to support a filing with the New York State Department of Health (NYSDOH).
If approved, Applied DNA could offer clinical testing services for both mpox Clade I and Clade II in its Stony Brook, N.Y. laboratory for samples from New York State and states recognizing New York's CLEP/CLIA certification. The assay is currently approved as a laboratory-developed test for mpox Clade II detection. The company emphasizes that the timing and approval of the NYSDOH filing are uncertain.
Applied DNA Sciences (NASDAQ:APDN) announced its Q3 FY2024 financial results, revealing a revenue decline to $798,000 from $2.9 million in Q3 FY2023.
