Molecular Taggants: Advanced Solutions for Product Authentication and Traceability

Introduction

Beyond the Barcode: The Unseen World of Product Security

Visible barcodes and holograms are easily copied. As the threat of counterfeiting grows across nearly every industry, a new generation of security is required. Discover molecular taggants: microscopic, invisible, and nearly impossible to duplicate markers that are integrated directly into your products to serve as a unique "molecular barcode". This white paper unveils a cutting-edge technology that goes far beyond standard authentication.

Discover how this technology delivers forensic-level certainty:

• Create security that is completely invisible to the naked eye , a feature that makes it significantly more challenging for counterfeiters to detect, replicate, or remove compared to traditional methods.

• Provide crucial physical evidence in legal and forensic investigations , with taggants so robust they can even survive a detonation and still be detected for post-blast analysis.

• Combat commercial fraud by preventing product dilution and substitution , fighting illicit trade , and tracing

  stolen banknotes from breached ATMs using unique taggants mixed into security ink.

• Authenticate a vast range of goods, from life-saving pharmaceuticals and conflict-free diamonds to fast-moving consumer goods , fuel , and even materials intended for recycling.

This report explores the different security tiers available, from overt markers to covert and forensic taggants that require specialized laboratory equipment to analyze. You will learn how these markers are designed for easy integration into existing manufacturing processes and how new detection methods now allow for forensic-level verification in the field using just a smartphone, making high-level security more accessible than ever.
