Abstract: A method for authenticating a textile material that is initiated by selecting a unique nucleic acid marker having a specific length and a specific sequence. A media that causes the unique nucleic acid marker to adhere to a fibrous material is then selected. The method then proceeds to generate a nucleic acid marker mixture by mixing the media with the nucleic acid marker. The nucleic acid marker mixture is then applied to the fibrous material. A marked fibrous material is produced by marking the fibrous material with the nucleic acid marker. The textile material is manufactured with the marked fibrous material. The textile material is then authenticated by detecting the unique nucleic acid marker with primers that are specific to the unique nucleic acid. In an alternative embodiment, the media is used as a topical treatment for the fibrous material.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for mixing nucleic acid with a water insoluble medium and application thereof, specifically to a method for mixing nucleic acid solution in a water insoluble medium through the addition of an intermediate solution. The medium is an inert medium and is not deteriorative to nucleic acid, and the intermediate solution increases solubility between the nucleic acid solution and the water insoluble medium. The resulted water-insoluble medium containing nucleic acid is used to label solid or liquid substances or articles.
