Located in the heart of Hatton Garden, London, our professional XRF metal testing service provides fast, non-destructive analysis that helps determine the composition and purity of precious metal items without causing any damage.
Whether you are selling gold, buying bullion, verifying jewellery, or checking the authenticity of precious metals, XRF testing offers one of the most reliable methods available.
What is XRF Testing?
XRF stands for X-Ray Fluorescence, a highly advanced analytical technique used throughout the precious metals industry to identify and measure the elemental composition of metals.
The technology works by directing low-level X-rays at a metal object. The atoms within the metal emit unique energy signatures, allowing the XRF analyser to identify exactly which elements are present and in what concentrations.
This process provides highly accurate information about:
- Gold purity
- Silver purity
- Platinum content
- Palladium content
- Metal composition
- Alloy percentages
- Precious metal authenticity
XRF testing is widely used by precious metal dealers, refiners, jewellers, pawnbrokers, and bullion specialists around the world.
