Discover a non-destructive alternative to fire assay that delivers faster, safer and more sustainable analysis.
For precious minerals testing, traditional chemical assay analysis, such as fire assay, can be time-consuming, labor-intensive and only measures a small volume of material. PhotonAssay analysis is a non-destructive, environmentally friendly replacement for fire assay that delivers accurate analysis for gold, silver, copper and complementary elements that is faster and safer. It can be delivered from our world-class commercial laboratory. By using high-energy X-rays this method can deliver results in as little as two minutes per sample.
