GEMORO® XRF Gold & Precious Metal Analyzer

The GEMORO XRF is a top-of-the-line Energy Dispersive XRF Spectrometer, perfect for jewelers, appraisers, and precious metal buyers. Made in the USA, this handheld and portable analyzer uses fast and efficient technology to identify and measure each element in jewelry, watches, and coins, making it a valuable tool for any professional in the industry. Manual.

X-ray Fluorescence or XRF is a non-destructive, analytical method used to determine elemental concentrations of various materials on the surface of what is being analyzed. It’s important to recognize that not all XRF analyzers have the same capabilities.

The GEMORO XRF determines the percentage of each element, thoroughly measuring an area 1.5mm in diameter while reaching a robust depth of 15-20 microns. Five times the typical depth of gold plating which has a thickness of only 1-3 microns. This state-of-the-art instrument represents a high-tech alternative to a destructive fire assay.

Each unit includes two 6-hour long-lasting rechargeable batteries and an AC adapter. The ability to set a passcode access parameter to manage user access. WIFI/Bluetooth/USB connection capabilities allow you to quickly send sample images and test results to your computer for easy filing. This feature-rich unit comes with a protective Pelican Case to ensure it arrives in perfect condition and enables you to carry it into the field.

The GEMORO XRF Analyzer accurately measures a wide range of precious metal elements, including gold, silver, lead, and nickel. With its advanced technology, this analyzer does not measure for aluminum, magnesium, or silicon. A must-have tool for professionals in the industry. With advanced technology, this device also detects gallium, bismuth, and other valuable metals, providing precise results for testing and analysis. 

XRF Spectrometry can use either Empirical Methods (calibration curves using standards similar in property to the unknown) or Fundamental Parameters (FP) to arrive at quantitative elemental analysis. The GEMORO XRF Gold & Precious Metal Analyzer uses the superior Fundamental Parameters because it allows elemental analysis to be performed without standards or calibration curves, which is much more preferred. This enables the analyst to use the system immediately, without having to spend additional time setting up individual calibration curves for the various elements and materials of interest. FP, accompanied by stored libraries of known materials, determines not only the elemental composition of an unknown material quickly and easily, but can identify unknown materials as well.

XRF works by striking a sample with an X-ray beam from an X-ray tube, causing characteristic X-rays to fluoresce from each element in the sample. A detector measures the energy and intensity (number of X-rays per second at a specific energy) of each X-ray, which is transformed into an elemental concentration using either a non-standard technique such as fundamental parameters or user-generated calibration curves. The presence of an element is identified by the element’s characteristic X-ray emission wavelength or energy. The amount of an element present is quantified by measuring the intensity of that element’s characteristic X-ray emission.

While XRF analyzing technology is very precise, please recognize that this technology measures the elements present on the surface (AKA a “surface test”), and it should not be considered as a substitute for a fire assay of a core sample.
