One Laboratory. Four Stages. Planned as a Single Workflow.

A gold testing laboratory is a controlled sequence from sample receipt to reported result. That is why we plan and equip every stage around the way your laboratory will actually operate.

Sample Receiving and Preparation

Samples are registered, weighed and prepared so the portion tested truly represents the whole piece or lot.

XRF Screening

Fast, non-destructive analysis for sorting, quick purity checks and high-volume routine work.

Fire Assay

The reference method for final fineness. It is destructive, but accurate enough to settle value and disputes, and it catches what surface analysis can miss, such as plated or filled items.

Results & Test Reports

Recorded results and test reports issued for each sample or lot.
Why fire assay remains the reference method for gold ?
