Thermo Scientific Au/gold Detection & Identification Technology (AuDIT™) a patent-pending software feature helps you meet the challenge of identifying gold-plated items. This proprietary plating detection technology was developed for and is only available on Thermo Scientific portable XRF analyzers including the Thermo Scientific Niton XL2 precious metal analyzer.
Several independent complementary methods in the AuDIT software work in tandem to alert you to the probability that an item is plated. The primary patent-pending technology based on elemental XRF signatures works regardless of the gold concentration of the plated surface layer. AuDIT technology works for vermeil (gold-plated silver) as well as gold-plated copper steel tungsten and any other non-gold substrate.
