Fischer's X-ray fluorescence (XRF) instrument is the most popular brand in alloy analysis of precious metals, material analysis of fashion jewelry, and quality control of high end watches.
Buying and selling physical gold and other precious metals always carries risk. There is a possibility that the gold does not contain the amount of carats it says it has or contains other metals within. Thus, it is important to be able to eliminate this risk with measurement instruments you can trust.
Fischer has decades of experience in manufacturing highly accurate and precise instruments to measure gold non-destructively. These instruments are able to measure alloy concentrations in percentages (or carats) or use electrical conductivity to check if other materials are present inside the gold. Using Fischer instruments ensures that you are able to authenticate the piece of gold you are buying or selling.

Case Studies
X-RAY FLUORESCENCE FOR ASSAYING OFFICES AND REFINERIES
For assayers and refiners of precious metals, material analysis instruments must fulfill exacting requirements. Just determining the precise gold content is not enough: It is important to ascertain the complete composition of the alloy, including elements like platinum or silver. In addition to reliably generating comprehensive, accurate, and reproducible results, the ideal analysis procedure should also be fast, easy to use, and – of course! – non-destructive.
TRACE ELEMENT ANALYSIS FOR FASHION JEWELRY AND ACCESSORIES
The skin-compatibility of products such as fashion jewelry must be carefully tested. New materials used as alternatives to conventional nickelous alloys and low thresholds for contaminants call for precise measurement devices. Fischer offers the appropriate instruments and easy-to-use software with which you can also analyze the most complex coating systems – error-free.
MEASURE THICKNESS OF PROTECTIVE COATINGS ON WATCHES
For the testing of tiny components and thin coatings in the quality control of expensive watches, Fischer offers devices with high resolution and definition of specific measurement spots. This enables you to test PVD, CVD and precious metal coatings non-destructively. Also, Fischer offers automated measurement functionality to reduce the time and effort required to measure a large number of parts.
