Perform precious metal testing with certainty

With daily changes in the prices of precious metals, small inaccuracies in testing can significantly impact your bottom line. Gold plating and counterfeit items are just some of the challenges that jewelers, gold traders, numismatists, and pawn shop owners face daily. Businesses require accurate results to remove variability and subjectivity from determining item value to ensure a profitable transaction.

 

Our handheld, benchtop, and lab equipment, which utilize nondestructive X-ray fluorescence (XRF) technology, will help you ensure accurate determination of the content of gold and all precious metals such as silver, platinum, palladium, rhodium, iridium, and ruthenium. In addition, you can analyze any alloying elements such as copper, zinc, nickel, etc., or even toxic elements such as cadmium, lead, etc.


Portable testing and analysis

Be sure of the value of the precious metals you buy and sell with a fast, simple nondestructive solution for analysis of gold and other precious metals.

Know the value before you buy or sell

Advantages of OES and XRF analysis in precious metal analysis

OES is a solution for precious metal refiners and all processors of fine precious metals.  The advantages of using OES include:

  • Low detection limits and high precision on a wide range of trace elements, allowing compliance with demanding international norms
    • Precise and accurate determination of trace elements (impurities)
    • Precise and accurate determination of the grade
  • Fully customizable PMT (photomultiplier tube) configuration
  • Individual, real instrument calibrations with best available standards certified reference materials (CRMs) and analytical reference materials (RMs)
