The microtags are made of high- purity silicon dioxide (SiO 2 ), allowing batch-level tracking to protect your company's brands, prevent counterfeits, detect diversion, and ensure product quality. The microtags are read using a proprietary detector like the company's Model III-B (shown). Photo courtesy of TruTag Technologies. Website: www.trutags.com. Tel. 808 878 8247.
