What This Gold Tester Does

• Measures gold purity (karat verification)
• Detects gold plating and fake items
• Identifies gold, silver, platinum, and other precious metals
• Provides instant results in seconds
• Tests without damaging jewelry or coins

This is a true XRF gold tester, not a guess-based tool.

Why XRF Beats Acid Testing

Traditional acid testing:

• Damages the item
• Gets acid everywhere (and on your hands)
• Takes longer
• Requires chemicals and cleanup
• Leaves uncertainty

With the SciAps X-50 Handheld XRF:

• No damage to the item
• Results in seconds
• No consumables
• Professional-grade accuracy

If you are buying gold regularly, this is a major upgrade.

Important Limitation (Know Before You Rent)

XRF analyzes surface composition, only top 10-20 microns. While this is 10 times as thick as standard gold plating... 

For heavily plated or layered items:

• Results may reflect the outer layer (infinite thickness)
• Deep composition may require additional verification methods such as:
  • Drilling of the sample
  • Other methods of verification

For most real-world buying scenarios, XRF provides fast and reliable decision-making data.
