Identilok®, Martin Bauer’s identity authentication and testing program, guarantees the highest levels of purity, authenticity, and cleanliness by way of state-of-the-art technology and classical identification techniques. Improved detection systems and methodologies are constantly being developed and we stay up to date with current research in order to improve our Identilok® program. However, the tried and true methods of taxonomic classification and microscopic evaluation by a trained botanist are as invaluable today as they were before the rise of modern identification techniques. Thus, we merge the old with the new at Martin Bauer.
