GOA Educates Attendees on Counterfeiting Protection

2. Dr. Michael Natan, CEO, Oxonica Materials Inc., disclosed a new covert/forensic micro-tag technology, Sol-ID™ nano-particles, a process that works by near-IR molecular excitation and subsequent Raman shift fingerprinted IR spectrum identification. The products to be protected are packaged and labeled with inks containing unique Sol-ID™ nano-particles (60 nanometer dimensions) and excitation/radiation fingerprinted IR spectrums. Detection of these covert/forensic particles is accomplished with proprietary handheld, desktop or high-speed readers. The company says that the Sol-ID™ nano-tag technology provides for a very effective covert/forensic deterrent to counterfeit/knockoff brand products and consumer goods.
