SECURtracers helps reduce liabilities, prevents loss of revenue, and provides brand protection.

SECURtracers provide a covert, edible, on-dose authentication solution for solid dosage form drugs.

They can be added directly onto the pills or on the capsule bands.

SECURtracers allows verification of a drug product ‘on-the-spot’ at the dose level, even when separated from its original packaging.

SECURtracers can be applied to solid oral dosage form drugs without adding any new equipment or processes to the tablet or capsule manufacturing process.

Animal Feeds

The magnetic tracer particles are incorporated into the bulk matter feed mix. The tracer particles used to generate the tagged animal feed can be limited to particles not more than about 350 microns in size. The markings on the particles are generally not larger than about 40 microns, although smaller particle populations can also be used.

They can be produced to encode a product number, a source code, a manufacture date, an expiration date, a code indicating the identity of the bulk material, the name of a company or the name of a product or a product ingredient, or any other useful reference information.

That feed mix can later be tested and authenticated by ascertaining the presence or absence of the tracer particles.

Packaging & Labels

SECURtracers can be utilized to authenticate high-value consumer goods and pharmaceutical products, by inclusion on labels and packaging through compatible inks, dyes, glues, or varnishes.

Due to food-grade ingredients, SECURtracers can be used for quality assurance, ingredient tracking, and on labeling or packaging to validate authenticity of food and beverages.

The UV flashlight will immediately confirm the presence of the tracers as fluorescence specks and the hand-held microscope will allow authentication of packaging and labeling on-the-spot in the field.

SECURtracers offer you a cost-effective and efficient protection solution against counterfeiting and illegal trade.

Currency Notes & Documents

SECURtracers can be discreetly included in important documents or on banknotes through compatible inks, dyes, glues, or varnishes.

They will provide a multi-layered covert feature complimentary to other features such as color-shifting inks.

SECURtracers helps identify and authenticate banknotes and documents in seconds by using a UV flashlight and a hand-held microscope.

The UV flashlight will immediately confirm the presence of the tracers as fluorescence specks and the hand-held microscope will allow authentication of the banknotes and documents on-the-spot in the field.

SECURtracers offer you a cost-effective and efficient protection solution against counterfeiting and illegal trade.

Explosives

SECURtracers are detectable in the raw materials prior to ignition and detonation of the explosive material.

The inclusion of tracer particles in explosive materials can allow investigating authorities to identify the manufacturer of explosive bulk materials, and thereby provide investigative leads to the identification of the supplier of materials to make an explosive device, when or where an explosive device was made, or how explosive raw materials were acquired.

The invention finds use in the tagging of powder/granular forms or liquid forms of explosives, or reagents for producing explosives. Such materials include, but are not limited to, trinitrotoluene (TNT), ammonium nitrate, urea nitrate, nitroglycerin, pentaerythritol tetranitrate (PENT), triacetone-triperoxide (TATP), and hexamethlene triperoxide diamine (HMTD).

Art

Perhaps up to 50 percent of all artwork currently on the market is forged or misattributed.

SECURtracers can be utilized to authenticate high-value artwork, by being discreetly included in compatible varnishes.

They can be produced to encode the artist name, a manufacture date, where it was made, the name of a company, or any other useful reference information.

Artwork can later be tested and authenticated by ascertaining the presence or absence of the tracer particles.
