Brand protection

Your product has unique characteristics, a fingerprint. There are characteristics that will link and differentiate. Discover why one variation of your product is superior to the next and thereby learn how to make the strongest version your benchmark.

Oxford Indices’ laboratory analysis of your product for volatile and semi-volatile compounds will arm your organisation with the power to protect your product and brand from counterfeiting and adulteration.

Counterfeiting

Oxford Indices supports your organisation throughout the process, including sample collection and auditing. This is a collaborative process of investigation, discovery, identification, and diagnosis. A tailor-made strategy will be formulated based upon your circumstances and requirements.

Adulteration

Differences between products can be seemingly indistinguishable and unidentifiable for flavour, aroma or odour. Differences between materials can be traced to a single compound. A challenge that requires acute perception.

Our advantage

Gas chromatography (GC-MS) is an established technology and technique. A solid method, it enables hundreds of compounds to be uncovered. Oxford Indices, however, utilises two-dimensional gas chromatography coupled with time-of-flight mass spectrometry (GCxGC-TOF-MS). The additional dimension enables thousands of compounds to be separated and identified.

Oxford Indices’ laboratory provides market leading resolution, analytical precision and certainty.
