Whether you need to trace the origin of a contamination, verify the provenance of a mineral, detect a food fraud or interpret archaeological data, IsoFind turns your isotopic measurements into clear, documented answers — accessible even without deep isotopic expertise.
When a river is contaminated or a soil shows abnormal metal levels, 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.
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 apportionmentCompare 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 monitoringProject 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 mappingUnderstand 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 processesCombine Pb-Sb, Cu-Zn or S-O in a single discrimination space. IsoFind manages multi-dimensional display and confidence ellipses to separate sources that classical chemistry cannot distinguish.
Multi-tracersEvery processing step is automatically recorded. Generate a structured report adapted to the requirements of environmental authorities (EPA, water agencies) and defensible in case of litigation.

Download IsoFind for free and import your first data in minutes.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.
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 conformityEvery 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 NexusEvery 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 monitoringEvery 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.

Secure your supply chain and automate your controls.
IsoFind Pro includes the full audit trail, database protection, multi-user management and REST API access to integrate IsoFind into your existing systems.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.
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.
Fraud detectionCompile 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.
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.
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.
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.

Community pluginsTypical workflow in IsoFind
IsoFind Research is free for public research institutions.
Access the full documentation and explore the shared community database.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.
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.
Food unmixing Detection and quantification of the adulterantOxygen 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.
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.
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.
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.

Protect your producers and the reputation of your appellation.
IsoFind supports you from building the reference to regular batch controls, with reports adapted to certification bodies.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.
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.
Archaeometry Geological origin identification of a materialLead 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.
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.
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.
Associate each piece with its isotopic data, analytical method and provenance conclusions. Records are archivable in .isof format and can be integrated into collection management systems.
