markers/ without using markers Explanation: Assuming here that the context is medical research, then paragraph three of the web page quoted makes it clear the 'Markierungssubstanz' and 'Marker' are synonymous. In English it is also called a 'marker', that is to say some kind of substance which has the property of being able to be traced externally when it is inserted into the body. Here I think the idea is that someone has to come up with proof in a way that doesn't use markers, perhaps because of the risk involved. Reference: http://www.quarks.de/gehirnakrobaten/03.htm |

marker substances--free of markers/without markers/marker free Explanation: I only found marker substances to be marker substances:http://www.google.com/search?q=without marker substance&hl=e... Here you will find many sites for marker substances. Therefore your sentence should be: proof without the use of marker substances.

non-invasive, noninvasive Explanation: I found both spellings but personally prefer the hyphenated version. I think this may be the expression you need, since using a marker or tracer substance would be invasive. Here is a definition: a developer of minimally invasive and noninvasive alternatives to blood tests and medical diagnostic and monitoring procedures, is working to take the pain out of many common medical procedures. but there were about 50,000 Google hits and the expression is used in many connections.
