PMI & Material Testing
Precious metal identification
Find out what your jewellery, coins or ore samples are really made of. We measure the metal content without scratching, acid-testing or melting a thing.
Overview
We identify your piece or sample and measure its chemical composition with X-ray fluorescence. Our analyzers detect gold, silver, platinum and palladium, along with base metals such as copper and nickel.
Results show the percentage of each metal in the sample. That gives you the karat grade of a gold piece, or a representative value for an ore sample.
The minimum charge covers testing and reporting on one item; additional items are quoted before work begins. We contact you within one business day of payment to arrange drop-off or shipping.
