A new way to check the authenticity of a product using an x-ray marker
What is Idemax?
Idemax is a new marking solution to guarantee the authenticity of medicines, based on Xtags, a new type of marker with a unique spectral signature in the X-ray wavelength range. A special spectrometric X-ray imaging detector has been developed to identify the Xtag marker.
-
Xtag are incorporated in the product or in the packaging’s paperboard using standard coating or printing process
- They are invisible to the naked eye and by traditional X-ray imaging systems
-
The detector can be integrated as an addon in existing inline control systems (luggage, customs, etc.) or in dedicated compact system
Applications:
A new tool to combat counterfeits:
-
Drug authentication
-
Luxury industry
-
Any industrial application where the use of the genuine product is critical
What's new?
-
New spectral real-time imaging detector with a dedicated authentication algorithm
-
Easy and fast authentication procedure that does not require opening the packaging
-
Automatic detection of partial counterfeit batch
-
Control can be performed at different levels throughout the product lifecycle
-
Large choice of application specific Xtags taking into account integration ability and cost
Principle
What's next?
Development of industrial demonstrators for online and offline control with industrial partners.
