Our science

Beyond
barcodes

The biomolecules in all living creatures contain billions of bits of information. At Aanika, we leverage biological capability with technology to capture an endless variety of digitally-encoded information in our microbial tags.

Our microbial tags can contain information like point of origin, percentage dilution and other attributes. And they can go where traditional bar codes can’t - into and onto products like grains, fruit and vegetables, and more.

Naturally packaged and virtually indestructible

To make our tags, we use microbes that form a natural, protective capsule that is resistant to extreme temperatures and other harsh conditions. It’s a perfect container for your vital information, a biological “barcode”. safely enclosed in nature’s perfect packaging.
