Our Technology
how it works
Our patented stable isotope analysis technology authenticates food at the molecular level. Using high-precision mass spectrometry, we measure unique isotopic ‘fingerprints’ in ingredients—naturally influenced by geography, farming methods, and animal diets. Every sample is cross-referenced against our global database of 10,000+ verified references through AI-powered pattern matching. This delivers 24-hour, >99% accurate verification of origin, authenticity, and production claims. Results are cryptographically sealed in tamper-proof blockchain reports.
Theory
How it works
Each atom contains protons and neutrons in its nucleus, where the number of protons defines the element (e.g., hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen) and the sum of protons and neutrons defines the atomic mass. The number of neutrons (neutral particles) can vary, leading to different isotopes of the same element. For example, most carbon atoms have six protons and six neutrons, resulting in an atomic mass of 12, while some are “heavy” with seven neutrons, giving them an atomic mass of 13.
Stable isotopes do not decay into other elements; they are “stable” over time, which enhances their reliability in food verification processes. For instance, the presence of stable carbon isotopes can help authenticate organic materials and trace their origins. This stability ensures consistent results, allowing for accurate assessments in food quality and provenance. In contrast, radioactive isotopes (e.g., 14C) are unstable and will decay into other elements, complicating their use in such analyses.
- Opens with USP: Patented stable isotope analysis establishes authority
- Simplifies Complex Tech: Molecular fingerprints > technical terms like SIRMS
- Proves Scalability: "10,000+ references" signals industry adoption
- Addresses Fraud Directly: Ties geography/farming methods to verifiable claims
Stable isotope ratios in food—such as ¹⁵N levels distinguishing wild vs. farmed salmon or ¹³C variations revealing cattle feed diets—serve as unique geographic and agricultural fingerprints. Using Stable Isotope Ratio Mass Spectrometry (SIRMS), samples are chemically processed and ionized, with magnetic fields precisely measuring isotope abundances. These signatures are then matched against our authenticated global database to verify origin, farming practices, and label claims with >99% accuracy.
