Visualant Granted Tenth Patent
Continued Expansion of the ChromaID Intellectual Property Portfolio
Visualant, Inc. (OTCQB:VSUL) – an industry-leading provider of chromatic-based identification, authentication and diagnostic
solutions, announced today that it has received its tenth patent relating to its ChromaID™ technology.
The newly issued patent describes an enhancement of the foundational ChromaID technology through its unique use of an array of
variable wavelength LED emitters and photodiode detectors to measure the scattering of electromagnetic energy from a solid, fluid
or a gas.
Visualant ChromaID is an identification, authentication and diagnostic platform technology that provides for a wide variety of
real-time and real-world applications. They include, but are not limited to:
Determining if water is potable
Detecting explosive residue
Authenticating driver’s licenses, passports and access control cards
Detecting illegal drugs
Grading and certifying diamonds and other gem stones
Checking for counterfeit fluids including olive oil, wine and spirits
Confirming that the correct fluid is flowing through the IV drip line
Determining the butterfat content of milk
The patent issued by the United States Office of Patents and Trademarks is US Patent No. 9,316,581 B2 and is entitled “Method,
Apparatus, and Article to Facilitate Evaluation of Substances Using Electromagnetic Energy.”
This newly issued patent continues the growth of the Visualant intellectual property portfolio. The Company continues to have a
significant number of pending patents and aggressively works to expand the reach of its technology. Visualant’s ChromaID technology
was invented when Dr. Thomas Furness, known as the “Father of Virtual Reality” and a professor at the University of Washington,
recognized that most materials in nature exhibit a unique light signature when stimulated by visible and invisible structured
coherent light sources.
