The microscopic markers, about the width of a single hair, can be seen and identified using Smiths Detection’s IdentifyIR™ and IlluminatIR™ instruments. The covert markers allow for several levels of hidden security and the ability to verify contents, monitor environmental conditions and identify origin in case of contamination or counterfeiting.
