Nowadays, the genuine labels are easily forged. Here is a solution, UV LED detector MP12t

Since the fakes are rampant in a variety of industries from electronics or automotive to cosmetics and other consumer products, the holographic or security labels are widely used nowadays for confirming authenticity of the products.

However consumers need to pay attention to the fakes because, with the technology of forgery developed in recent years, the increasing number of the skillful counterfeiting of the holographic or authentic labels is reported.

We have checked if it is an authentic label with MP12t the portable counterfeit detector.

The below is the Cheonjiram, one of famous liquor of Yanghadaegok, China. Three kinds of series, Haejiram, Cheonjiram and Mongjiram, are sold under the brand name of "Yanghanamsaekgyeongjeong".



As an expensive liquor, and authenticity label is attached. The attached brand name of Yanghanamsaekgyeongjeon and the trademark, looked as a hologram, are but materials of silver foil. The back is a kind of security labels, and the adhesive surface is made to be easily damaged when removing so that customers and easily check whether it is genuine or not.


MP12t the portable counterfeit detector is thrown over the product, a gradation of fluorescence appears from the upper left part of the brand in the center of the sticker. It is to certify the product is authenticity and to prevent forgery at the same time by applying the fluorescent element as an additional security.



Since the increasing number of holographic or authentic labels are skillfully forged or counterfeited with an advanced technology of forgery, it is highly recommended to check not only the presence or absence of stickers but to take meticulous care for additional identification.

Detecting pollutants, fluorescence brightening agents, and particles with the UV LED Detector

UV light is not only used for screening fake bills or ID cards, but also can be used for other multiple purposes such as detecting particles, pollutants, refrigerant leak, bodily fluid and finger prints, or fluorescence brightening agents.



The image above show soap and other pollutants on a front wall of a sink found by the UV LED Detector MP12t. Natural light cannot, but only UV light can check such marks.



The image above shows how the UV LED Detector MP12t detects fluorescence brightening agents. The left image turned blue as the paper contains fluorescence brightening agents, but the right image does not show any response as the paper does not contain any fluorescence brightening agents.

Fluorescence brightening agents are used in many consumer goods such as paper, soap, sanitary items, textile, plastic, and paint, and are known to cause various skin problems and digestion issues. In particular, toddlers who ha sensitive skin are recommended to use clothes, towels, and tissues that do not contain fluorescence brightening agents.



The image above shows how the UV LED Detector MP12t detects particles such as dust on an LCD sample. Since having particles significantly affect semiconductor and display process, thorough particle control is necessary.
