Handheld Gold Tester

What is A Handheld Gold Tester

A Handheld Gold Tester is a portable device designed for rapid, non-destructive identification of gold purity (karatage) and composition. It commonly utilizes X-ray fluorescence (XRF) technology, analyzing characteristic X-rays emitted from the sample's surface to determine the content of elements like gold, silver, copper, and nickel, thereby assessing the authenticity, fineness, or alloy proportions of gold items. Key features include ease of operation and quick response, making it suitable for jewelry stores, pawn shops, recycling industries, and on-site rapid testing.

How a Handheld Gold Tester Works & How to Use It

How Handheld Gold Tester Works

Handheld Gold Tester uses X-ray Fluorescence (XRF) technology with a custom Si-PIN detector for non-destructive elemental analysis. It quickly (3s preliminary, 30s full) delivers 0.03% accuracy for gold purity across solid, liquid, or powder samples, identifying precious metal content and alloy ratios.

How to Use a Handheld Gold Tester

  1. Power on, launch software.

  2. Calibrate with sample.

  3. Select test mode.

  4. Align, press "start."

  5. Wait ~30 seconds for results.

  6. Print or save report.

Handheld Gold Tester: What It Solves

Handheld gold testers resolve bulky, power-dependent traditional unit issues. Their portability, light weight, and 8-hour battery enable on-site, anytime/anywhere detection. This aids precious metal recyclers in quickly distinguishing authenticity and setting prices on the spot, and helps outdoor gold panners make preliminary content judgments in the field.

Applications of Handheld Gold Tester

  • On-site gold testing

  • Gold door-to-door recycling

  • Gold panning in the wild

  • Inspection of second-hand gold jewelry transactions

Who need a Handheld Gold Tester

Precious metal recycling practitioners: For spot authenticity and quick pricing.

Outdoor gold panning: For preliminary judgment on gold content or whether ore contains precious metals in the field.

How to Extend the Lifespan of Your Handheld Gold Tester

To maximize the longevity and ensure consistent performance of your handheld gold tester, adhere to these essential maintenance practices:

  1. Regular Cleaning: Routinely wipe the outer case and testing window with a soft, lint-free cloth to keep the device clean and free from debris.

  2. Pre-Test Sample Preparation: Always clean the sample surface before testing. Remove any dust, oil, or oxidation from the metal to avoid interference and maintain measurement accuracy.

  3. Prevent Physical Shocks: Avoid exposing the analyzer to strong shocks, drops, or excessive shaking. When not in use, always transport and store the handheld gold tester in its shock-proof, original case.

  4. Proper Battery Care: Charge the battery regularly. Do not allow the battery to fully drain, and ensure you recharge it when the power level drops below 20% to maintain battery health.
