Description
Handheld XRF for Non-Destructive Precious Metal Testing
What is the GEMORO XRF Analyzer?
The GEMORO XRF Gold & Precious Metal Analyzer is a handheld X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analyzer designed for non-destructive elemental analysis of precious metals. It is commonly used by jewelers, pawn shops, gold buyers, refiners, and appraisers to verify gold purity, alloy composition, and surface plating in seconds.
Refineries and assay labs often choose new handheld XRF analyzers for rapid verification of precious metals composition without damaging samples.
What does the GEMORO XRF Analyzer test?
The GEMORO XRF analyzer identifies and quantifies surface composition of precious metals and common alloying elements, including:
- Gold (Au)
- Silver (Ag)
- Platinum (Pt)
- Palladium (Pd)
- Copper (Cu)
- Nickel (Ni)
- Zinc (Zn)
- Iron (Fe)
- Lead (Pb)
- Tin (Sn)
- Cobalt (Co)
- Chromium (Cr)
- Tungsten (W)
- Rhodium (Rh)
- Iridium (Ir)
Note: This analyzer does not measure light elements such as aluminum, magnesium, or silicon.
How does the GEMORO XRF Analyzer work?
The instrument emits a controlled X-ray beam onto the surface of a sample. The sample fluoresces characteristic X-ray energies, which are detected and converted into elemental percentages using onboard calibration models.
Results are displayed in seconds without damaging the item.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the GEMORO XRF analyzer destructive?
No. XRF testing is completely non-destructive.
Can it detect fake gold or plated jewelry?
Yes, this XRF penetrates the surface ten times deeper than traditional gold plating. It can detect gold plating with a high degree of a precision.
Is this analyzer suitable for scrap metal yards?
No. This model is optimized for precious metals, not industrial alloy sorting.
How fast are results?
Most tests complete in seconds.
