Our
Technology
Our team of world-class scientists accurately verify your
cotton's origin on an atomic level
All living things can be traced back to their geographical origin based on their chemical composition, and cotton is no exception.
By breaking it down to an atomic level, we can compare its stable isotopic ratios and other physical and chemical attributes to find a match in our proprietary database. This helps us pinpoint the region of origin of your product without needing audits or site visits.
Our Routine
Our Sampling Protocol
Our Streamlined Process
With the use of Stable Isotope Ratio Mass Spectrometry, the cotton or products are chemically broken down and injected into a mass spectrometer.
The relative abundance of each isotope is measured by their deflection through a magnetic field.
​
Once the stable isotope signatures have been detected, they are then compared against a reference database.
