Our in-house precious metal testing process

Every piece of bullion is handled with care and checked as part of our process to ensure customers receive products that meet expectations

We use professional testing equipment including:

Niton Thermo Fisher XRF Testing

Our Niton Thermo Fisher XRF analyser allows us to test precious metals using X-ray fluorescence technology

This helps us analyse the metal composition of items and verify the presence and purity of precious metals without damaging the product

XRF testing is widely used across the precious metals industry as a reliable method of analysis

Sigma Metalytics Precious Metal Verifier Pro

We also use a Sigma Metalytics Precious Metal Verifier Pro as part of our verification process

This technology helps analyse precious metals by measuring their electrical properties and provides another layer of confidence when assessing gold and silver items
