A definitive result
An approximate copy cannot pass verification; the result is yes or no, with nothing in between.
DNA-based marking.
A sequence designed specifically for your brand, with no counterpart in nature, acts as the product's material identity. Verification is done in the lab and cannot be passed with a partial resemblance: it either matches exactly or it does not.

What it solves
When a dispute goes to court, a quick answer given in the field is often not enough.
The other side questions the certainty of the measurement and the argument shifts to the method.
This is where the DNA layer comes in. A sequence designed specifically for the brand, with no counterpart in nature, is assessed in the lab for an exact match. A partial or approximate copy cannot pass verification; the answer is either yes or no.
DNA-based
What does it deliver?
The strongest ground to stand on when a dispute goes legal.
Layered use
You run daily checks with a faster mark; this layer comes in only at the moment of dispute.
No effect on the product
Added in trace amounts, it changes none of the product's physical properties.
How it is introduced
In three steps, without rebuilding your production flow.
Added to the product
The sequence specific to your brand is added in trace amounts to the product or coating during production.
A sample is taken
When verification is needed, a small sample is taken from the product; batch integrity is not affected.
Compared in the lab
The sequence in the sample is assessed for an exact match against the reference.
FAQ
Frequently asked
Is it used for daily checks too?
Usually not. Daily checks are done with a faster layer; this layer comes in at the moment of dispute.
Does taking a sample damage the product?
The sample is small; batch integrity is not affected.
How long does a result take?
As it is laboratory verification, timing depends on the sample flow; certainty comes at the cost of speed.

Meeting request
The right method for your product comes from the product itself.
The first meeting reviews your product group, your production flow and the points where verification will take place, and recommends a marking or analysis method.
