What is XRF X-RAY? Why is it superior to the traditional "Acid Test"?

XRF X-ray is a widely used, proven, and accepted method of chemistry analysis and determination of purity and fineness of precious metals.  It is actually considered the Gold Standard of Testing Methods.  The only other superior  way to analyze Gold, Silver, Platinum and Palladium is to do a fire assay (melt it)!  XRF analysis is a multi-elemental testing alternative that is faster, less destructive, and more exact than chemical (acid) tests. XRF provides on-the-spot analysis of gold, silver, platinum, and palladium, making it an easy way to boost customer confidence and ensure dealer reliability.   Most places just want to determine that your items are actually gold and could care less what karat they are.  This is why they stick with acid testing, its costs them very little money, unlike the large investment required to have an XRF testing X-ray platform. Remember the higher the karat, the more valuable your items are!  To recap, Acid Testing is reliable only to determine a piece is gold, but highly inaccurate when getting down to determining what karat of gold the item is.  Don't settle being paid for 10k gold, when you may have 14k, 18k, 20k+ !!

As we just stated, given the current high value of gold, quantifying its fineness and purity is more critical than ever. We believe that our customers should be paid according to what they really have, and acid testing methods are extremely unreliable when boiling down to fineness or purity of Precious Metals.   

The Innov-X GoldXpert XRF by Olympus analyzer is an easy-to‑use, highly accurate method to obtain alloy chemistry and karat classification with one non-destructive and non-intrusive test.  Equipment of this caliber does not come cheap, but we invested in this technology to ensure our customers receive the highest prices paid and best quality of service in the San Antonio, Texas area! Texas Gold and Silver Buyers can confidently PLEDGE TOP DOLLAR PAID EVERYDAY!  We know exactly what we are buying and do not have to underpay our customers like so many other places will.
