We have the state of the art, Thermo Fisher Scientific Niton XL2 XRF Analyzer!
An XRF gold tester, also known as an X-ray fluorescence gold tester, is a device used to determine the purity or composition of gold items. XRF stands for X-ray fluorescence, which is the scientific principle the device is based on.
Here’s how an XRF gold tester works:
- Non-Destructive Testing: One of the key advantages of an XRF gold tester is that it can perform non-destructive testing. It means that the device can analyze the gold without causing any damage to the item being tested. This is particularly useful when dealing with valuable or sentimental jewelry or other gold objects.
- X-ray Excitation: The XRF gold tester uses X-ray radiation to excite the atoms in the gold sample. When the X-rays hit the gold, they cause the electrons in the atoms to move to higher energy levels.
- In addition to gold, an XRF gold tester can also detect and analyze other elements present in the sample. This can be useful for identifying impurities, such as silver, copper, or other metals that may be present in the gold item.
Overall, an XRF gold tester provides a quick and reliable method for assessing the purity of gold items without damaging them. It’s commonly used by jewelers, pawnshops, and gold buyers to ensure the quality and authenticity of gold jewelry, coins, and other gold objects.
How its done?
We offer this service right in front of you! Allowing you to witness the analysis live right before your eyes. Keep in mind this is not guaranteed or warranted by us that your gold is real. For a fully accurate test, a file and scratch test is still the most accurate.
