DNA security marking of a diamond

DNA security marking. Conceptual image of strands of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) in a liquid droplet above a diamond. The liquid holds the CypherMark DNA security marking system. This system is used to uncounterfeitably mark both liquids and solid surfaces through the application of unique DNA sequences attached to microscopic beads. In this case the beads will lodge in the diamonds surface cavities and their presence can then be detected under a microscope. Analysis of the DNA code will allow the diamond to be identified, protecting against theft. CypherMark beads can also be used in sprays to mark criminals.

Bead Diamond Jewellery Labelling Security


EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the cutting-edge technology of DNA security marking applied to a diamond. The image depicts strands of DNA, symbolizing deoxyribonucleic acid, suspended in a liquid droplet above the precious gemstone. This innovative CypherMark DNA security marking system is designed to combat counterfeiting by attaching unique DNA sequences to microscopic beads. In this particular instance, these minuscule beads are strategically placed within the surface cavities of the diamond and can be easily detected under a microscope. By analyzing the specific DNA code present on these beads, experts can identify and authenticate the diamond, providing foolproof protection against theft. The application of CypherMark beads extends beyond diamonds; they can also be utilized in sprays for marking criminals. Developed at Cypher Science Ltd. , located in Cardiff, Wales, this groundbreaking technology revolutionizes security labelling by employing advanced molecular techniques. This conceptual image not only highlights the intricate beauty of both science and jewelry but also emphasizes how modern advancements are reshaping traditional methods of securing valuable assets. With its fusion of artistry and innovation, this photograph serves as a testament to humanity's relentless pursuit of safeguarding our most treasured possessions through cutting-edge scientific breakthroughs like CypherMark's revolutionary DNA security marking system.
