TruTag Technologies“EAT YOUR NANOPARTICLES!”

BY KATLYN FARAGHER

What It Is… TruTag Technologies provides product authentication and brand

protection solutions. They use customized nanotechnology solutions using coded silica

microtags. These microtags are made of the highest purity silica, making them biologically inert, edible, and virtually invisible.

TruTag's patented technology etches 'spectral barcode's into a silicon wafer. The code can be measured via a spectrometer-based optical reader, and then verified against other cryptographic information printed on the package, so that the item and packaging are authenticated together.

Each tag contains a unique code that can only be scanned using special instruments.

TruTag® microtags can integrate into the very fabric of a product, much like fingerprints on a human being.

TruTag® can be used for the authentication of food, drugs, electronics, and consumer products.

The TruTag® security platform will help prevent counterfeiting, enhance the safety and traceability of food and medicine and assure product quality.

Coming Soon… TruTag is currently in laboratory trials for a tablet coating in a

nutritional supplement. They are working with different color coatings on tablets for anti-coloring. They are testing temperatures, humidity, and contamination from batch to batch. If all goes well, the product should be deployed by next year.
