The analysis for precious metals has always been an important
part of our business. The variety of materials we handle is virtually limitless,
including ores, jewelry, film, solder, anode slimes, dental alloys, electronic
scrap, catalysts and a host of others.
Many techniques are used for this work, especially when
platinum group metals are involved. We utilize DC plasma, Colorimetry, and even
good old fashioned wet chemistry. We are constantly exploring new
methods to make these difficult separations more efficient.

By far the largest number of assays are done by FIRE
ASSAY. Fire assaying is the classical method which can trace its origins
back to biblical times. While our experience is somewhat less than that, we can
point to personnel with over 30 years experience in this technique.
