Exemption Certification System
Streamline Research Access with SecureDNA's Exemption Certification System
SecureDNA's Exemption Certification System enables authorized researchers to access hazardous DNA sequences safely and efficiently. This innovative solution balances critical research needs with stringent biosecurity measures, streamlining processes for labs, synthesis providers, and regulatory agencies.
-
Streamlined Approval Process
Rapid authorization for pre-approved sequences. Reduces administrative burden on providers and regulators.
-
Enhanced Compliance
Ensures adherence to local and international biosecurity regulations. Provides clear audit trails for all exempted sequences.
-
Increased Security
Utilizes advanced cryptographic validation. Implements physical authentication measures.
How It Works
- A Research Lab requests an exemption from their Biosafety Officer (BSO) or other biosafety authority.
- The BSO reviews the requested sequence(s) and other order information.
- BSO grants approval, issuing an exemption token, a cryptographically signed artifact that contains a public key identification (PKI) certificate.
- The Research Lab submits the sequence order to manufacturer, including the exemption token
- The synthesizing manufacturer screens the sequence using SecureDNA, and includes the exemption token at the time of screen, overriding “denial” flags for the specific sequence(s) covered in the exemption token
Who It's For
Research Laboratories: Gain faster access to necessary sequences
DNA Synthesis Providers: Reduce administrative overhead
Regulatory Agencies: Enhance oversight and ensure compliance
Biosafety Officers: Efficiently manage and monitor sequence approvals
Security and Compliance
Our system adheres to the highest security standards, utilizing advanced cryptography and physical authentication to prevent unauthorized access. It's designed to meet and exceed current and anticipated regulatory requirements for DNA synthesis screening.
