Precious metal analysis
Fast, non-destructive assaying of gold, silver, platinum and palladium — for buyers, refiners and jewelers.
Buying, refining and trading precious metals require fast, reliable assaying. X-ray fluorescence (XRF) determines gold, silver, platinum and palladium content in seconds without destroying the item — letting you test finished jewelry, coins and bars without loss.
Where trace-element control in high-purity gold is needed, spark optical emission spectrometers (OES) determine impurities at the level required in refining.
Recommended techniques and instruments
- XRF spectrometers — benchtop and handheld assay analyzers (e.g. Smart100 Plus).
- Spark OES spectrometers — trace-element control in gold, e.g. OES1000.
- Non-destructive analysis of jewelry, coins, bars and soldered items.
