Abstract

Provided is a method for supplementing a sample with specific information. This method includes the following steps: intrinsically marking a sample by adding a chemical marker having a defined composition to the sample; storing data reflecting the composition of the chemical marker and information assigned to the chemical marker, wherein this marker-assigned information is not related to the composition of the chemical marker itself; analyzing the sample with an analysis method, wherein the analysis method is suited to detect the composition of the chemical marker, to obtain a marker-related result; comparing the marker-related result with the stored data; and assigning the marker-assigned stored information to the sample based on the preceding comparison.
