About Imprint Analytics
Imprint Analytics GmbH, based in Neutal, Burgenland, is a testing service provider specialised in the analytical verification of origin and authenticity. The laboratory uses methods including isotope ratio mass spectrometry (IRMS), gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and near-infrared spectroscopy (NIR), as well as techniques such as SNIF-NMR, AMS, NGS, PCR, LC-MS/MS and ICP-MS, to scientifically substantiate origin claims, product claims and batch comparisons. The focus is on foods such as wine, juice, honey, maple syrup, fruit and spices; in addition, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, cotton/textiles, plastics, rocks such as marble and biofuels are tested. Complementing this, the company offers Food Fraud Vulnerability Assessments, Fraud Monitoring Alerts, a Food Fraud Prevention Program, Expert Trainings and expert reports. The laboratory is accredited to ISO/IEC 17025 and works with international brands, retail chains and authorities in Europe and worldwide. In 2025, Imprint Analytics was acquired by Oritain and integrated into its global laboratory network.

Sample materials and analysis methods
Multi-isotope fingerprinting (EA-, HTC-, GC-C/P-, LC/EA-IRMS)
Stable isotope ratios serve as evidence of the geographic origin and authenticity of the sample material.
SNIF-NMR
Isotope fractionation by nuclear magnetic resonance, usable among other things for spirits and juice samples.
GC-MS, GC-MS/MS, GC-O
Gas chromatographic-mass spectrometric analysis for aromas, contaminants and untargeted profiles.
LC-MS/MS
Liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry for target and screening analysis in liquid matrices.
ICP-MS
Ultra-trace element analysis to complement the multi-element fingerprint.
NMR
Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy for profile-based authenticity testing.
NIR
Near-infrared spectroscopy as a rapid screening method.
Next Generation Sequencing / PCR
Molecular biology methods for species identification and authenticity testing.
AMS
Accelerator mass spectrometry, among other things for radiocarbon analyses.
TIMS
Thermal ionization mass spectrometry for isotope ratios.
