XRF Spectrometry
An X-ray test that reads metal composition without damaging the article. Results in minutes.
Fire Assay
A small-sample test at 1,000°C+. The referee method for precious-metal purity, accurate to 0.01–0.03%.
Calibration Protocol
Regular calibration using certified reference materials traceable to national and international standards.
