The fifth generation of fast, accurate analysis for precious metals SPECTRO MIDEX Accuracy of elemental analysis is often critical — especially in assessing precious metals. Remelted samples from reclaimed/recycled alloys may contain other elements besides the expected gold, silver, copper, or platinum. Assayers and refiners need instruments with the sensitivity to detect and precisely analyze even minor or trace amounts, to assess true composition and value. Other users may prioritize speed. High-volume hallmarking centers demand both fast and accurate analysis. In addition, all users...

SPECTRO MIDEX Technology takes the next step One drawback of some XRF analyzers is their inability to detect minor and trace amounts of some nonprecious elements. This may render them incapable of precisely determining the content of major precious metals such as gold, silver, and platinum. Example: in a gold alloy sample, failing to detect ten minor elements, each at 0.05%, could produce an erroneous — and expensive — 0.5% higher total for gold. Fortunately, SPECTRO MIDEX excels at this type of challenging analysis. And its newest high-resolution silicon drift detector (SDD) makes...
