Technologies That Fit. Solutions That Work.
From low-cost, ready-to-implement solutions to fully customized systems, Microtrace provides a complete range of field-proven identification, authentication and traceability technologies. Every solution is developed, validated, and deployed in-house. Our team works directly with you to select the right technology for your product, process, and risk profile.
Microtrace technologies fall into two categories:
- REady-to-Deploy Technologies
Pre-validated for rapid implementation and broad compatibility - Custom Engineered Technologies
Purpose-built and licensed to meet complex or high-risk requirements
We don’t force-fit technology. We deliver what works.
Ready-to-Deploy Technologies
FAST INTEGRATION. PROVEN PERFORMANCE.
Designed for companies that need relatively low-cost, ready-to-implement solutions authenticated with standard, affordable devices. These technologies are compatible with a diverse materials and workflows, supporting everything from basic quality checks to secure, covert authentication. All systems are field-tested, pre-validated, and ready for deployment.

Enhanced Phosphors
A unique material combining standard phosphor and UV materials to produce distinctive UV/IR color signatures for fast, covert authentication.

FIPS 140 Tamper-Evident Seals
Customized, tamper-evident labels that meet FIPS compliance standards.

IR Visible Phosphors
Phosphors that emit visible light under infrared excitation in various colors. Useful for basic covert marking or as part of a layered security strategy.
Custom Engineered Technologies
Licensed Solutions. Tailored to You.
Proprietary systems developed in close collaboration with your team and optimized for your products and strategic goals. Delivered under license, they provide long-term control, exclusivity, and product-specific protection.

Custom Chemistries
Unique compounds formulated by Microtrace chemists to meet your specific goals. Whether replicating materials or designing new formulations, we deliver precise, high-performance solutions.

DNA Taggants
Synthetic DNA sequences that are stable, uniquely encoded, and nearly impossible to replicate.

Encrypted Data Strings
Taggants that require both infrared excitation and detection, adding an extra layer of protection.

IR-to-IR Phosphors
Taggants that require both infrared excitation and detection, adding an extra layer of protection.

Laser Systems
High-precision micromarking systems tailored to your needs. Choose a custom-designed system, let us handle marking services, or collaborate on R&D support.

Spectral Taggant™
Inks formulated with unique chemistries to create invisible signatures that act as fingerprints for your product. Enables precise authentication through Microtrace’s Summit platform.
