A method for authenticating an item of interest. A nucleic acid tag comprised of a nucleotide-support platform attached to a first nucleic acid molecule is added to the item of interest, where information about the item of interest is contained within the first nucleic acid molecule. A portion of an item is sampled for the presence of the nucleic acid tag, where the item is potentially the item of interest. The presence of the nucleic acid tag is detected in the sample, where the presence of the first nucleic acid tag authenticates the item as the item of interest.

System and method for authentication and tamper detection using nucleic acid taggants

Method and system for detecting and/or quantifying recent human presence in an environment using a calculated rate of decay of carbon dioxide concentration levels within that environment. A sensor measures the change in carbon dioxide levels over time to calculate the rate of decay to equilibrium and extrapolate recent human presence. Also provided is a method and system for quantifying recent human activity in an environment using the calculated rate of decay to equilibrium.

Method and system for human presence correlation using carbon dioxide

Methods for authenticating and/or detecting tampering of an item of interest using a nucleic acid tag. A nucleic acid tag comprising a nucleotide-support platform attached to a nucleic acid molecule is created or obtained and then sealed within or on the item of interest. The surface of the item of interest is sampled for the presence of the seeded tag after the item of interest has been moved from one location to another or has been stored for a period of time, during which tampering can occur and/or authentication may necessary. The presence of the tag can indicate that tampering has occurred, or that the item of interest is authentic.
