Precious Metal Analysis and Karat Classification: XRF is a widely used, reliable, and recommended method for chemical analysis and determination of purity and fineness of precious metals. This analysis technique is a multi-elemental test that is quicker and less expensive than fire assay and chemical tests. Benchtop XRF provides on the-spot analysis of gold, silver, platinum, and other precious metals and impurities, making it an easy way to boost customer confidence and ensure dealer reliability.
The Olympus GoldXpert XRF analyzer provides an easy-to-use, cost-effective technique to obtain alloy chemistry and karat classification with one nondestructive and nonintrusive test. Additionally, an exclusive GoldXpert software feature helps identify gold-plated objects and sends an alert to the screen.
Given the current high value of gold, quantifying its fineness and purity is more critical than ever. Whether you buy gold, sell or produce jewellery, fabricate metal, or recycle scrap metal, you need a fast, highly accurate method to determine karatage and other precious and non-precious metal content for quality control and pricing.

GOLDXPERT SAMPLE HOLDER
The GoldXpert is equipped with an articulating sample holder arm to secure and orient samples for analysis. The
sample holder is ideal for small-component and mixed-metal jewelry testing.
IN FOCUS AND ON TARGET FOR EVERY SHOT
Camera and Collimator
The GoldXpert comes equipped with an integrated CMOS camera, which records sample images to memory along with the analysis results for report generation.
The X-ray beam collimation is utilized for measurement of small components and samples. A simple tap on the touch screen in camera view activates the 3 mm diameter collimation, and an on-screen indicator shows the operator exactly where the analysis spot is focused.
Collimation can be easily reverted to a 10 mm diameter with a simple tap for standard bulk analysis.
Customized Reporting
Data can be exported easily to spreadsheet format. Memory can be accessed remotely with the Windows CE operating system via network. Customized reporting certificates with results, images, logo and more can be generated with the click of a button via PC Software.
Exclusive Plate Alert Feature
The GoldXpert has an exclusive feature that detects possible gold plating or coating when analyzing the composition of gold pieces. If the GoldXpert determines that there is a possibility of gold coating or plating, it alerts the user by displaying an on-screen message.
PERFORMANCE YOU CAN COUNT ON
The GoldXpert is available in two configurations: the standard GoldXpert and the high-performance GoldXpert SDD. The standard GoldXpert is equipped with a Si PIN detector providing excellent precision and sensitivity for most applications. The high-performance GoldXpert SDD is equipped with an advanced Silicon Drift Detector for better precision and sensitivity.
The high performance GoldXpert SDD with a twofold improvement in precision and sensitivity over the Standard GoldXpert provides better detection limits. It is recommended for refiners who need very fast reading times and the utmost in analytical precision. The standard GoldXpert is ideal for general karating and trading applications.
