Testing Service

Precious Metal Analysis & Verification.

Non-destructive chemical analysis of gold, silver, platinum, and palladium — providing exact purity, alloy composition, and plating detection using EDXRF technology.

Precious Metal

Precision Metal Assay.

Our precious metal testing service uses Energy Dispersive X-Ray Fluorescence (EDXRF) to provide rapid, non-destructive chemical analysis. The method determines the exact elemental composition of metallic items — from raw alloys to finished jewellery — without any surface damage.

Results are reported as precise weight percentages for all detected elements, supporting hallmarking verification, trade compliance, and quality assurance.

Purity Analysis

Gold karat, silver fineness, platinum purity

Alloy Composition

Full elemental breakdown of metal alloys

Plating Detection

Surface vs. bulk composition comparison

Hallmark Verification

Confirmation of declared metal purity marks

Metals We Analyse

Gold (Au) Silver (Ag) Platinum (Pt) Palladium (Pd) Rhodium (Rh)

IXRF Atlas Apex EDXRF.

Our precious metal analysis is powered by the IXRF Atlas Apex — a state-of-the-art EDXRF spectrometer with polycapillary optics enabling micro-spot analysis down to 5 μm. This allows us to test precise locations on jewellery, detect plating layers, and analyse soldering joints separately from the main alloy body.

5 μm micro-spot analysis capability
Sub-125 eV spectral resolution
Completely non-destructive process
Results available within minutes
