Handheld XRF Analyzer for Gold, Silver, Platinum & Jewelry Authentication
The Evident Scientific Vanta Element – Precious Metals handheld XRF analyzer is a new handheld XRF analyzer purpose-built for gold testing, jewelry authentication, bullion verification, and precious-metal purity analysis.
This configuration includes only the Precious Metals Mode, optimized for high accuracy on Au, Ag, Pt, Pd, Rh, Ir, Ru, Cu, Zn, and other alloying elements commonly found in jewelry and investment metals.
