HOW IT WORKS

uTINTsil is made up of a specially designed plastic material that uses a combination of chromatic technology and a molecularly imprinted polymer patented in 2018.

 
 
 

COLOR-CHANGING TECHNOLOGY

When uTINTsil detects a specific allergen protein, the molecular polymer triggers the entire utensil to change color instantly. This will indicate that the food is unsafe to consume in a fast and easy way for even a child to understand.
