Applied DNA Sciences (APDN, Financial) has successfully wrapped up a major project to source essential components for its LineaDNA and LineaIVT platforms exclusively from suppliers within the United States. This strategic shift aligns with the 2024 BIOSECURE Act and addresses the growing demand from customers for a robust U.S.-based supply chain. It also reflects a broader industry trend towards bringing manufacturing back to the U.S., aiming to mitigate potential tariff risks and ensure a consistent supply chain.
The completed initiative has optimized the LineaDNA platform to be more agile and scalable while ensuring that core materials and manufacturing enzymes are locally produced. This move positions LineaRx, a division of Applied DNA Sciences, as a more dependable partner in the genetic medicine manufacturing sector, focused on producing DNA templates and other key products.
As the leading PCR-based cell-free DNA producer in the United States, Applied DNA Sciences is further enhancing its capabilities with the recent introduction of Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) services. This development strengthens the company’s ability to support the burgeoning domestic market for genetic medicines, including a variety of mRNA/DNA products and advanced therapies like cell and gene therapies.
