We help our customers in the jewellery, hallmarking, and refining sectors become more profitable and trustworthy through non-destructive materials analysis solutions that enable fast, accurate, and automated purity verification of Gold (Au), Silver (Ag), and precious alloys.

Precious metals analysis is essential, now more than ever, with volatile gold prices, strict karat certification standards, and society’s growing demand for recycled and hallmarked jewellery. Many of the showrooms and assayers we support are fundamental to maintaining fair trade and consumer confidence across India and global markets.

Under increasing regulatory pressure to verify exact karat weight (Au 24K, 22K, 18K) and purity of Sterling Silver (925, 999) while detecting hazardous substances such as nickel (Ni), lead (Pb), and cadmium (Cd) without destroying ornamental objects, quality control testing becomes critical. An efficient non-destructive X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) process helps to eliminate product rejection, protect valuable ornaments, and ensure 100% fair transactional pricing without chemical assay or fire assay damage.

We’re an established organization consisting of a team of analytical instrumentation professionals with over 2 decades of experience. Through our Korean Indian Collaboration Technology, our KARAT VISION K-Series spectrometers (K2, K3, K4, K5) combine cutting-edge micro-focus X-Ray tubes and high-resolution Silicon Drift (FSDD PRO+) detectors with robust local Make in India manufacturing and direct support across 8 major cities.

We believe non-destructive evaluation, complete element transparency across all gold and silver spectrums, and localized engineering support are key to a sustainable and thriving precious metals industry.

Frequently Asked Technical Questions


Everything you need to know about non-destructive XRF spectrometers, gold verification accuracy, and localized engineering support.

Fire assaying (`Tunch`) is destructive, requires melting the ornament, consumes hazardous chemical acids, and takes 3 to 6 hours to yield results. Fishtro KARAT VISION non-destructive X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) tests the ornament completely intact in less than 10 seconds, with 99.99% analytical correlation to fire assay and zero metal loss.

Yes! Our advanced FSDD PRO+ detector series (K5 and K4 models) feature proprietary multi-layer plating depth analysis algorithms. They accurately identify gold vermeil thickness, rhodium coatings on white gold, and instantly flag under-karated substrates or counterfeit tungsten/copper/brass cores without scratching the surface.

Silicon Drift (FSDD PRO+) detectors offer ultra-high resolution (<122 eV) and count rates up to 10X faster than standard Silicon PIN (<160 eV). While K2 (Si-PIN) is excellent for standard karat sorting in growing showrooms, FSDD PRO+ is essential for rapid hallmarking certification, complex PGM alloy separation, and measuring trace impurities down to 0.01% precision.

Through our robust Make in India operations anchored at our Secunderabad Head Office and regional branch centers, we provide comprehensive on-site installation, staff calibration training, prompt spare parts availability, and customizable Annual Maintenance Contracts (AMC) across 8+ major Indian jewel hubs.
