Custom Chemistries for Product Authentication and Counterfeit Prevention

Microtrace’s in-house chemistry team develops proprietary compounds and formulations to address the most specific authentication, traceability, and research requirements. From advanced anti-counterfeit taggants to isotopically labeled markers, our chemistries are engineered from the molecule up to deliver reliable performance in real-world conditions.
 

Built for the Unsolvable

When customers face complex challenges, Microtrace develops tailored solutions. Our chemists design and synthesize custom compounds that perform where others fall short. Whether creating new taggant chemistries, replicating legacy materials, or adapting formulations for production, every project is approached with clarity, precision, and deep technical expertise.

From problem identification to final synthesis, each step is tailored to your application. No shortcuts. No stock solutions.

Isotopic Labeling Capabilities

Microtrace synthesizes highly enriched, stable isotopically labeled compounds for authentication, traceability, laboratory research, and analytical applications. We provide:

  • Deuterium (²H) labeled compounds

  • High-purity synthesis with precise enrichment levels

     
  • Carbon-13 (¹³C) labeled compounds

  • Scalable production volumes to meet R&D or commercial supply needs

These markers are ideal for forensic traceability, dilution detection, or scientific research where unambiguous identification is essential.
