At Anderson Materials Evaluation, we specialize in counterfeit product detection and materials analysis to help you verify the authenticity of your products. Our expert services ensure that your products are not misrepresented, protecting your brand and maintaining consumer trust.

Why Counterfeit Product Detection Matters

Counterfeit products pose a significant threat to legitimate manufacturers. When consumers unknowingly purchase counterfeit goods, it can lead to:

• Loss of Consumer Trust: Customers may lose faith in the brand and refrain from future purchases.
• Safety Concerns: Counterfeit products often do not meet safety standards, potentially endangering users.
• Economic Impact: The lower sale price of counterfeit goods undermines the market for legitimate products.

Real-World Examples

In 2017, Operation Mega Flex by Customs and Border Protection seized 43% of express mail packages from Hong Kong and China, primarily due to counterfeit goods. Reports from the European Union Intellectual Property Office and Europol indicate that counterfeit and copyright-infringing goods smuggled into the European Union mainly from China and Hong Kong in 2019 and 2020.

Our Capabilities in Counterfeit Product Detection

Comprehensive Materials Analysis

Our team of Ph.D. scientists uses advanced analytical techniques to detect differences in materials and processing between real and counterfeit products. We provide you with the proof you need to protect your brand and ensure the quality of your products.

Analytical Techniques

We employ a range of techniques to identify counterfeit products, including:

• FTIR Spectroscopy: Ideal for testing polymers and organic materials.
• WD-XRF Elemental Analysis: Suitable for metal alloys, glass, ceramics, minerals, and composites with inorganic additives.
• XPS Surface Analysis: Effective for materials with treated surfaces or thin films.
• UV-Vis Reflectometry: Measures color and haze across the ultraviolet, visible, and near-infrared spectrum for material surface distinction.

Tailored Investigations

Our approach begins with a detailed consultation to understand your specific concerns and the suspected counterfeit product. We then plan a customized materials analysis investigation to determine the differences between your authentic product and the counterfeit.
