XRF Analyser

XRF (X-ray fluorescence) is a non-destructive analytical technique used to determine the elemental composition of materials. XRF analyzers determine the chemistry of a sample by measuring the fluorescent (or secondary) X-ray emitted from a sample when it is excited by a primary X-ray source.

Magnetic Scale

A metal’s magnetism cannot be manipulated. Every metal reacts in its own way to a magnetic field. It is either attracted or repulsed. The manner and magnitude of this reaction depends entirely on the composition of the metal. Precious metals like gold are not magnetic and are only weakly repulsed by a magnetic field. Forgeries have no chance against this equipment and proves to be a valued addition to our series of testing equipment.

Ultra Sound Analyser

Ultrasonic testing is a form of nondestructive testing. Ultrasonic testing uses special equipment to send high frequency sound waves to penetrate a material’s thickness.

Calibrated Scales

Our scales has been verified by a technician from an independent Irish registered scales specialist.

Microscope & Polariscope

Instruments for testing and verifying the quality of diamonds and gems, operated by our in house gem & diamond specialist. Our Swiss-made microscope can enlarge an item by a multiple of 60. This gives us the ability to inspect the items in minute detail.
