TSW TRACE TM

•  TSW TraceTM has been developed by TSW Scientists over the past 30 years.

•  TSW TraceTM is a method that robustly determines the provenance of an item.

•  TSW TraceTM uses a variety of scientific approaches to determine the fingerprint of a sample and link it to its origin.

•  TSW TraceTM is routinely employed as a Forensic tool and is delivered by Expert Forensic Chemists and Investigators.

Elemental Fingerprinting Every substance, whether natural or synthetic, is not pure and will contain a cocktail of “contaminants” in concentrations that range from single atoms or molecules to percentages.


Gold, Diamonds, Precious & Conflict Metals

Routinely applied to tracing stolen gold or diamonds back to their mine of origin. In addition, the method is used to determine if a diamond is synthetic and investigate commodities sourced from conflict zones (blood diamonds).

Scene of Crime Investigations

The TSW forensic science services team undertake routine forensic investigations which employ the TSW TraceTM method. Typical examples include the analysis and profiling of scene of crime evidence (e.g. paint, glass, bullets or metal fragments).


Drugs and Pharmaceuticals

The TSW TraceTM method can be used to trace the origin of drugs. For example the growing location of Marijuana or alternatively the batch of a particular pharmaceutical.

Food

The TSW TraceTM determines the provenance (origin) of a food, including its production system (e.g. free range vs. cage eggs). This method has been used successfully to provide rapid traceability of meat (36 hours) back to farm of origin and also complete investigations into food substitution and mislabeling.
