IsoFind produces the documented analytical evidence these contexts require.

Trace the origin of a contamination. Track its evolution over time.

When a river is contaminated or a soil shows abnormal levels of metals, PFAS or pesticides, you need to answer one simple question: where does this pollutant come from, and how is it spreading? Stable isotopes are the only tracers capable of answering that question without altering the environment. IsoFind organises the entire workflow, from raw data import to mapped results and a defensible report.

Isotopic mapping in IsoFind

Where does this pollutant come from?

By comparing the isotopic signature of a contaminant to the fingerprints of known sources (industry, road traffic, mining activity...), IsoFind identifies the probable origin and calculates each source's contribution. Even when multiple sources mix simultaneously, isotopic unmixing quantifies each one separately.

Source apportionment

Is the contamination improving?

Compare signatures measured at different dates to document the effectiveness of a remediation or detect the arrival of a new source. IsoFind manages time series and visualises trends.

Temporal monitoring

Where are the risk zones?

Project your results onto an interactive map to delineate influence zones and contamination gradients. Direct export for reports to local authorities, water agencies or regulatory bodies.

GIS mapping

Identify contamination pathways

Understand the mechanism by which a contaminant mobilises and spreads: oxidation, dissolution, adsorption onto iron minerals, gas-phase transfer. IsoFind models the isotopic fractionations associated with each process to distinguish sources from transport vectors.

Geochemical processes

Trace PFAS, pesticides and organic molecules

Compound-specific isotope analysis (CSIA) of carbon (delta 13C) and chlorine (delta 37Cl) allows PFAS families to be distinguished by manufacturing process, quantifies in-situ pesticide biodegradation via the Rayleigh model, and identifies sources of pharmaceutical residues in surface water. IsoFind centralises and normalises this data molecule by molecule.

3D visualisation and predictive modelling

Reconstruct the contamination plume in three dimensions from your point data by IDW interpolation. The coupled predictive engine (geochemical prior + ML ONNX) simulates the temporal evolution of the contaminant in the aquifer, accounting for speciation, adsorption and degradation. Time slider, interactive cross-section, PNG export.

Does this ore really come from where they say it does?

Every raw material carries an isotopic fingerprint tied to its geology and extraction method. When a supplier changes source without declaring it, classical chemical methods miss it. Isotopic analysis detects it. IsoFind lets you build a signature reference by supplier, compare each incoming batch and produce a certifiable conformity report.

MetallurgyCritical mineralsDue diligenceSupply chainCertification

Does this batch really come from where they say it does?

Compare the isotopic signature of a delivered batch to the reference of the declared mine or supplier. IsoFind automatically flags any significant deviation. The answer is binary and defensible: compliant or non-compliant, backed by data. A direct response to the due diligence obligations of the Critical Minerals Act and the growing demands for supply chain transparency.

Origin conformity

Model transformations (Nexus)

Every industrial process slightly modifies the isotopic signature of a material. The Nexus module lets you visually simulate these transformations step by step, from raw ore to finished component, predicting the expected output signature.

IsoFind Nexus

Monitor a supplier's history

Every received batch is recorded with its signature. If a supplier quietly changes their supply source, the deviation from historical data is automatically detected on the next batch.

Batch monitoring

Full audit trail and activity log

Every action is timestamped and attributed to its author: imports, edits, exports, logins. This permanent log is exportable and constitutes a defensible activity record for any certification audit or regulatory procedure.

Is this product really what the label claims?

Isotopic signatures are intrinsic to materials: they do not change over time, are invisible to the naked eye, and cannot be copied without specialist equipment. IsoFind lets you build an authenticity reference for your products and compare each sample to that reference, concluding objectively and in a documented way to either conformity or fraud.

Luxury and jewelleryPharmaceuticalsOrigin labelsPDO and PGIDefence materials
Isotopic authentication in IsoFind

Has this product been diluted or substituted?

A product cut with a cheaper material presents a mixed isotopic signature, measurable and quantifiable. IsoFind automatically detects any sample whose signature departs from the authentic product's reference, calculates the fraud probability and estimates the adulterant proportion. The conclusion is clear and backed by data.

Build your authenticity reference

Compile signatures from your authentic products by batch, vintage or production site. IsoFind automatically calculates the statistical envelopes that define the acceptable signature of a compliant product.

Distinguish two close origins

Two materials of identical chemical composition but from different geographical origins have distinct isotopic signatures. IsoFind enables this discrimination where all other analytical methods fail.

Active isotopic marking

For products without a sufficient natural fingerprint, IsoFind guides the design of active marking: controlled introduction of a specific isotopic ratio during manufacturing, impossible to reproduce without dedicated equipment.

A dossier defensible before any authority

Every conclusion comes with a complete record: method applied, reference used, comparison statistics, full history. Structured for presentation to a certification body or a court.

Does this honey, this oil, this wine really come from where they say?

Food products carry an isotopic fingerprint linked to the soil, water and climate of their production area. This fingerprint does not lie. A cut, substituted or mislabelled product shows a signature that departs from that of the authentic product. IsoFind lets you build your appellation's reference and control each incoming or suspect batch.

Wines and spiritsOlive oilHoneyDairy productsPDO and PGIOrganic farming
Food isotopic database in IsoFind

Has this product been adulterated?

A product diluted with cheaper oil, synthetic honey or wine from another region presents a composite isotopic signal that IsoFind automatically decomposes. The software calculates the adulterant proportion and identifies its probable nature from candidate source signatures. The conclusion is immediate, documented and exportable.

Detection and quantification of the adulterant

Verify the declared geographical origin

Oxygen and hydrogen isotopes reflect the local water signature. Carbon and nitrogen isotopes reflect the type of vegetation and agricultural practices. IsoFind compares each sample to the declared region's reference.

Build a vintage-based reference

Each climate year leaves a specific isotopic fingerprint in plant products. IsoFind lets you progressively build your own signature database by vintage and verify, batch by batch, the concordance between the declared year and the measured signature.

Build and defend your PDO or PGI

Progressively compile the authentic signature base for your appellation, manage natural inter-annual variability and statistically define the limits of what is typical for your terroir.

Attest organic farming

Nitrogen isotopes can discriminate chemically fertilised crops from organic ones. This analysis is achievable in IsoFind via a dedicated plugin, as a complement to standard documentary controls, adding an objective analytical proof to your certification dossier.

Where does this marble, this metal, this human being come from?

Archaeological materials and biological remains carry an isotopic memory of their place of origin and history. This memory allows us to retrace ancient trade routes, the provenance of raw materials used by craftspeople, population migrations or authenticate works of art. IsoFind structures these analyses in a rigorous, documented and shareable framework.

Where does this material come from?

Identify the geological origin of a metal, marble or clay by comparing its isotopic signature to the fingerprints of known deposits and quarries from the period. IsoFind manages provenance reference databases and calculates the probability of belonging to each candidate source, accounting for analytical uncertainty and the natural variability of deposits.

Geological origin identification of a material

Trace provenance through radiogenic lead

Lead isotopes (206Pb/204Pb, 207Pb/204Pb, 208Pb/204Pb) vary according to the geological age and composition of source rocks. IsoFind allows comparison of the lead signature of a metal object, pigment or glass against ancient mining and geological reference databases to identify its probable ore deposit and retrace supply circuits.

Is this artwork authentic?

The pigments, binders and supports of a work carry an isotopic fingerprint consistent with their era and place of production. IsoFind detects anachronistic or geographically incompatible compositions with the declared attribution.

What did they eat?

Carbon and nitrogen isotopes in bone collagen reflect the dietary habits of an individual's last years of life. IsoFind manages palaeoecological series and compares signatures to available resource references.

Where is the contaminant going? See, predict and decide in 3D.

When point data is no longer enough to understand a subsurface plume, three-dimensional modelling changes the scale of perception. IsoFind reconstructs the contamination volume by spatial interpolation, couples it to a geochemical prediction engine (physical prior + ML ONNX) and lets time scroll to show how the contaminant evolves. PFAS and pesticide tracing is available free of charge.

3D modelling in IsoFind

Volumetric plume reconstruction by IDW

From your point data (wells, piezometers, soil samples), IsoFind interpolates concentrations in 3D using the IDW (Inverse Distance Weighting) method and displays the contamination volume with its colour gradient. Two visualisation modes: coloured point cloud for rapid exploration, interpolated volume for presentations. Geographic coordinates are locally normalised with cos(lat) correction to guarantee distance accuracy.

Free (PFAS / Pesticides)Pro (other molecules)

Temporal simulation with slider

The predictive engine calculates the plume's evolution over time, accounting for advective transport, adsorption onto soil minerals and degradation. A time slider allows stepping through the simulation stages, from initial state to the predictive horizon. Front velocity is calculated from hydraulic conductivity and gradient, corrected for dilution and retardation effects.

Temporal simulation

Geochemical prior coupled to ML ONNX

The predictive engine combines a calculable physical prior (Rayleigh, 2 end-member mixing, Cr(VI)/Cr(III) reduction, TCE/PCE/DCE degradation) and two dedicated ONNX models: an elements model (redox speciation, Kd adsorption) and an organic molecules model (reaction rate k, effective epsilon). A 936-point pH x Eh lookup table is pre-calculated at startup for fast simulation; direct ONNX call remains available for detail tooltips.

Pro licence

Interactive cross-section

Slice the 3D volume at any depth with the horizontal cross-section. The Z slider allows scrolling through layers and reading predicted concentrations at each depth. Useful for delimiting risk horizons in a multi-layer aquifer or targeting sampling depths during a field campaign.

Z cross-section

Speciation tooltip on click

Click on any point in the 3D volume to instantly obtain the interpolated local geochemical conditions (pH, Eh, DO) and predicted speciation: Cr(VI)/Cr(III) or TCE/DCE/VC fractions depending on the molecule, local partitioning coefficient Kd, kinetic constant k_reaction, and estimated mobility. This information directly feeds risk assessment reasoning and the prioritisation of sampling points.

Vertical exaggeration and export

The depth axis is often much more compressed than the horizontal axes in an aquifer. The vertical exaggeration cursor (x1 to x10) makes structures readable without distorting the interpretation. High-resolution PNG export produces an image directly usable in a report or presentation.

Not a data aggregator. An analysis and conclusion tool.

An IsoFind report is not a formatted document. It is a structured reasoning: it automatically compares multiple attribution hypotheses, argues for and against each, quantifies confidence in each conclusion, delimits what the data supports and what it does not, and seals everything cryptographically. Every assertion is factual, analytically grounded and traced back to the raw measurement.

Automatic scenario comparison with pros, cons and confidence percentage

For each attribution question (what is the probable source? is this batch compliant?), IsoFind simultaneously evaluates all candidate scenarios. Each hypothesis receives a confidence score calculated from the isotopic distance to the reference, the consistency of tracer systems and statistical robustness. The report presents the arguments for and against each scenario, the score for each, and concludes on the most probable scenario, without hiding credible alternatives.

Confidence score per hypothesis, argued and traceable
Multi-scenario analysis

Answers / Does not answer section

Every report includes a structured section explicitly listing what the data allows to conclude with confidence, what it allows to suggest with reservation, and what it cannot resolve. This rigorous delimitation of conclusions is what makes a report defensible in judicial or regulatory contexts, where an unsupported conclusion is more damaging than no conclusion at all.

Conclusion delimitation

Full Nexus, ML and 3D integration

ML speciation results, Nexus fractionations, concentration/time curves from the 3D simulation and attribution scores are all automatically collected and inserted into the corresponding blocks. No manual re-entry, no copy-paste: the report is a coherent projection of the entire analytical workflow.
