Frequently Asked Questions | Goldanalytix

This depends entirely on which objects you want to check:
For classic investors (coins and bars), the GoldScreenSensor (also measures through packaging) in combination with a caliper and precision scale is usually sufficient . For bars from 50 to 100 grams upwards, we also recommend the BarScreenSensor, for which the objects must be unpacked. The GoldScreenPen can also be used for smaller investment objects up to approx. 1 ounce.
For gold jewellery, measurement with a combination of CaratScreenPen and DensityScreenScale is ideal. The fineness of gold (carat number) can also be determined with our test acid sets.
As a tungsten detector, the MagneticScreenScale is an alternative to the GoldScreenSensor for gold objects from approx. 1/4 ounce to 250 g. This MagneticScreenScale is a good choice for those who want to focus entirely on gold and do not want to unpack 100 gram bars, for example.
