Precious Metals Purity Testing Service in Singapore
Looking to test purity of gold silver platinum palladium metals using a state-of-the-art XRF technology?
XRF Technology is extremely useful in helping anyone improve their perception of Gold Silver Platinum Palladium and its blending elements.
It is something interesting for consumers to understand and appreciate and make sure that they are getting the true value of the item for the price they are paying.
There are various methods of gold testing. Our Thermo Niton Precious Metal Analyzer XL2 100 using state-of-the-art XRF technology however is in many ways far superior to these.
Accurate Purity Analysis Meets Ease of Use
That's all it takes – one simple trigger pull or the push of a button and almost instantly you will have an accurate purity analysis for on the-spot sorting and valuation of gold and all precious metals...as well as quantification of other desirable and undesirable elements.
Because of the value of these metals it's vital that no material is lost in the testing process. With our portable XRF technology analysis is:
- Fast
- Accurate
- Simple and easy to use - minimal to no sample preparation required
- Completely nondestructive - no acid
Quickly Detect Gold Plating
Thermo Scientific Au/gold Detection & Identification Technology (AuDIT™) a patent-pending software feature helps you meet the challenge of identifying gold-plated items. This proprietary plating detection technology was developed for and is only available on Thermo Scientific portable XRF analyzers including the Thermo Scientific Niton XL2 precious metal analyzer.
Several independent complementary methods in the AuDIT software work in tandem to alert you to the probability that an item is plated. The primary patent-pending technology based on elemental XRF signatures works regardless of the gold concentration of the plated surface layer. AuDIT technology works for vermeil (gold-plated silver) as well as gold-plated copper steel tungsten and any other non-gold substrate.

COMMON TEST METHODS USED?
Acid Tests
- Determine the approximate concentration of gold. It does not tell the actual gold concentratio
- Very subjective and prone to user erro
- Can be fooled by acid resistant materials e.g stainless steel (NiCrMo) passed off as white gold
- Essentially tests the "skin" only through a physical scratch made on a black stone.
Fire Assay (Lab based method)
- Requires a piece of gold chosen for analysis to be physically cut off (eg from a piece of jewellery) or for gold bars physically drilling into the bar at preferably various points to collect the filling
- The fire assay technique is a destructive technique that essentially involves melting the collected gold material at around 1000 deg
- It only quantifies gold accurately
- The method is complex destructive slow and labour intensive.
X-Ray Analysis (Via Thermo Niton Precious Metal Analyzer XL2 100)
Sample Test Video via Thermo Niton Precious Metal Analyzer XL2 100
- Just point and shoot not destructive to article to be analysed
- Analysis goes beyond the "skin" and penetrates a few microns into the bulk
- Very informative and tells you all that is present:: gives accurately the gold karat percentage of gold and other elements present in the gold material
- Results within seconds. Comparable results to fire assay if the same physical cutting of jewellery or drilling is done.
Our advantage over other XRF brands
- Not restricted to just yellow gold (also possible rose white gold etc)
- Can analyse any item made from precious metal elements
- Capability to detect quickly if an article is gold plated
Gold Analysis & Precious Metal Testing...
Featuring Thermo Scientific AuDIT Plating Detection Technology
With the volatility and high price of gold precious metals and gems you cannot afford the time or the potential inaccuracies of traditional testing methods to determine the value of items being bought sold or recycled. Using Thermo Scientific portable x-ray fluorescence (XRF) analyzers now with Thermo Scientific AuDIT gold-plating detection technology you can find out in just a few seconds with fire assay-comparable accuracy the exact precious metal content in jewelry coins and other valuable products .

Built for Your Requirements
So when speed accuracy ease of use and reliability count our combination of hardware software and direct industry experience helps meet your specific analytical requirements allowing you to:
-
Simultaneously measure the content of all gold
and precious metals with no need to manually change your calibration based on the metal you're analyzing – e.g. gold (Au) silver (Ag) platinum (Pt) palladium (Pd) - Precisely determine the presence and concentration of other trace alloying elements and dangerous heavy elements which could impact valuation and future refining needs – e.g. lead (pb)
- Efficiently identify most gold-plated items
- Quickly discover the presence of replica or altered gemstones – e.g. cubic zirconia (CZ) leaded glass-filled rubies
- Capture images and focus in on small areas using our integrated camera and 3 mm small-spot feature (depends on model)
A culture of innovation and a distinguished history of breakthrough achievements define our XRF analyzers engineered from the ground up to help you determine precious metal content. Your need for fast accurate nondestructive results are clear. Just as clear are the benefits your business can realize from using Thermo Scientific Niton XL2 and Niton® XL3t handheld XRF analyzers – both now available with groundbreaking GOLDD™ technology.
