NanoTrust® Brand Protection Technology

nanoTrust® is a a unique technology in which product and batch information is covertly embedded into tablets in a way that is impossible to reproduce.  This allows information on the product to be matched with the packaging providing traceability and authentication along the tablet supply chain, overcoming key concerns with current anti-counterfeiting technologies in that the product may be exchanged with a counterfeit substitute inside legitimate packaging.

nanoTrust® applies customized nanoparticles directly into the tablet using a proprietary and patented process and creates a batch-specific "fingerprint".

The technology is fully integrated into the tablet production process on the tablet compression machine with no impact on production capacity, providing a cost-effective and highly efficient method of anti-counterfeiting protection.

A defined and measured quantity of nanoparticles is introduced via a Piezo activated valve into the material to be tableted.  This then provides a unique code that is covert and can only be authenticated with special knowledge and equipment.  Nanoparticles can be combined to provide infinite numbers of unique codes.  These can be tailored with sophisticated information relating to the product such as manufacturing site, date of manufacture and batch number.  On laser excitation, each code can be identified as a unique fingerprint.  The particles are inert, non-toxic and biologically safe, making them ideal for pharmceutical applications.

Full software control enables the nanoparticles to be delivered with ultimate precision and at lowest possible concentration (<0.002 mg).

nanoTrust® can also be combined with other anti-counterfeiting measures on the packaging for further enhanced security.
