BuySilverMalaysia X-ray Analyzer

X-ray Analyzer Testing

BuySilverMalaysia invested in a sophisticated, high-technology tool used in the mining industry to ensure the products we sell and deliver to our customers are authentic and genuine. We want our customers to have peace of mind when they purchase from BSM.

How Do We Guarantee?

We use an X-ray machine to test the purity and chemistry of the gold and silver products we sell. We're among the first few bullion houses in Malaysia to invest in X-ray Fluorescence Spectrometry (XRF) technology.

This instrument tests the purity and chemistry of gold and silver to up to 99% accuracy. XRF technology is the gold-standard for accurate, non-destructive elemental analysis across a wide range of applications, including cement, metals, mining, petroleum, chemicals, environmental and food.

The expenditure on this machine represents an investment of approximately MYR 70,000. An AELB (Lembaga Perlesenan Tenaga Atom) permit/license is mandatory to operate it.

How Does the X-ray Machine Work?

X-rays have a unique ability to ionize, or "excite", elements present in materials. When ionized elements return to a relaxed or stable state, they emit fluorescent x-rays whose energy levels are "signatures" of the specific elements emitting them.

XRF analyzers harness this phenomenon by:

• Sending ionizing x-rays into a metal sample.
• Measuring the energy levels of the returning fluorescent x-rays (the elements' "signatures").
• Counting these x-rays to determine the relative concentration of each individual element present.

Through complex, iterative calculations, a detailed composition of the metal sample is provided.

How Would BSM Customers Benefit from this X-ray Machine?

Complimentary testing on all products bought from BSM:

We also offer this authentication service to BSM customers who'd like to attest gold & silver products bought elsewhere, for a minimal fee. Should you have any questions or wish to have your bullion tested, you may schedule an appointment with us.
