IdentiGEN Ltd. is an Ireland-based company providing DNA-based analysis and diagnostics with operations in Ireland, the UK, North America and Canada. Services include species identification, parentage testing, and a food traceability system.[2]
History
[edit]IdentiGEN was founded in 1996 as a spin-out from research conducted at Trinity College, Dublin.[1] Among the first to apply molecular genetic techniques to source-verify meat products, the company pioneered the use of this technology to improve food traceability and supply chain transparency. It differs from track-and-trace systems that rely on metadata and packaging identification.
