PhotonAssay™ Analysis

Fast and sustainable analysis of key elements, gold and silver present in commercially traded copper and gold concentrate commodities.

FAST, NON-DESTRUCTIVE TESTING

Alfred H Knight uses PhotonAssay™ technology to deliver rapid and accurate measurements of gold and silver through our PhotonAssay service, accredited to ISO: EN 17025: 2017 standard. 

This innovative technique provides a sustainable alternative to fire assay, preserving your sample and improving turnaround time.

WHAT IS PHOTONASSAY™?

PhotonAssay™ is a groundbreaking analytical method that utilises high-energy X-rays to detect gold and silver at the atomic level, without compromising the sample.

Unlike traditional fire assay, which relies on lead collection and partial sampling, PhotonAssay™ measures 100% of the sample, eliminates the use of toxic chemicals, offers fast, accurate results, and greatly reduces environmental impact.

WHY CHOOSE PHOTONASSAY™?

This innovative technique provides a sustainable and credible alternative to classical fire assay lead collection. PhotonAssay™ delivers:

  • Speed of analysis combined with precision and  accuracy
  • The elimination of laboratory sampling errors
  • 100% test sample analysis, which is favourable for heterogeneous commodities
  • Improved UoM over classical fire assay 
  • A non-destructive technique offering test sample retention
  • Eco-friendly lab practices with favourable ESG outcomes
