The investigations of the Isotope Hunter with Isotope Fingerprints

In this e-learning series you will get an introduction to Isotope Fingerprints and will learn more about: -	What are Isotope Fingerprints? -	How can we detect an Isotope Fingerprint? -	Where can Isotope Fingerprints be applied? -	What are examples of applications of Isotope Fingerprints for food integrity, environmental forensics, criminal forensics, doping control etc.

By using isotope fingerprints the isotope Hunters at Imprint Analytics fight against Food fraudsters to protect consumers and food and beverage manufacturers. Join David Psomiadis and the team at Imprint Analytics in the visit to their lab and investigate more on how they protect consumers by the use of IRMS.

As organic fruit and vegetables attract a higher price on the market, this can lead to economically motivated fraud through mislabeling produce as “organic” when they have been grown using synthetic fertilizer. Laboratories need an analytical technique that can differentiate organic and non-organic grown fruit and vegetables: this can be achieved using the nitrogen isotope fingerprints measured using IRMS. Food and beverage samples have a fingerprint, a unique chemical signature that allows the product to be identified with IRMS. Using isotope fingerprints, food and beverage origin, authenticity and product label claims can be verified in a unique way. Isotope Ratio Mass Spectrometry (IRMS) works by detecting the “isotope fingerprint” of a sample, a unique chemical signature that changes from sample to sample. The identification of mislabeled products subsequently protects consumer confidence, brand market reputation related revenue-generating capabilities.

Investigating authenticity and tracing origin with isotope fingerprints

With crime comes evidence. When an investigation hits a wall it’s time to call on the Isotope Hunter. By using isotope fingerprints the isotope Hunters directs criminal forensics investigations onto the right direction to find origin, adulteration or provenance of human and materials.
