taaneh provides authentication technology and counterfeiting solutions using diamond particles. it can also be added to packaging materials and the inks used in product labeling. when diamond is exposed to certain wavelengths of light, it emits unique spectral signatures that cannot be duplicated. even in trace amounts, the spectral signatures occur and can be detected and confirmed with a programmable handheld scanner. as an allotrope of carbon, diamond is an inert substance that can be added to drug formulations according to the ceo andy janoff, ph.d. janoff . current counterfeit protection technologies use serialization, colorcoding, or imprinting methods, but these strategies can be easily replicated and can often only trace either product or package, not both, according to tanneh company. using diamond in product and packaging makes it possible to authenticate a product at any point in the supply chain from manufacturer to consumer. diamond powder is inexpensive and can blend easily into inks commonly used in labeling and printing. the ink encrypted with diamond can be used to print already approved labels. adding diamond powder into industrial ink does not require specialized equipment and can be quickly and seamlessly integrated into most existing label and package production protocols. all packaging and labeling processes can continue as usual without alterations or costly modifications to production procedures.
