Busy, practical, and under pressure to make the right decision.

Because today, trust is everything. And gold testing isn’t a lab job anymore — it’s your frontline tool.


Why You Need an XRF Tester in Today’s Market

  • Gold prices are sky-high. A wrong deal can cost you lakhs.

✔️ Make faster, safer decisions — every day

It’s more than a tester — it’s a trust builder.


✔️ Step 1: What Retail Jewellers Should Look For

If you’re dealing with customers daily, everything must be quick, simple, and reliable.

Your RealityYour Machine Should Have
Fast handling at the counterInstant results — within 30 seconds
Limited counter spaceCompact, all-in-one system (no PC hassle)
Staff with little tech experienceTouchscreen, user-friendly software
Need for clean, branded reportsPrint gold%, weight, logo, and customer details

Bottom line: It should work like it belongs at your front desk, not in a lab.


✔️  Step 2: Know What to Avoid vs. What to Choose

Make a clear call. Here’s how you separate clutter from clarity:

❌ Avoid✅ Choose
External PC, cables, bulky setupInbuilt system — neat and compact
Over-complicated softwareSimple UI, works like a mobile app
Reports without brandingCustomised reports with shop details
Machines built for labs onlyRetail-optimised models made for counters
Delayed or outsourced serviceDirect, responsive, on-site support

💡 Pro tip: If it slows you down, it’s the wrong choice — no matter how cheap it is.


✔️ Step 3: Make Your Demo Count

Don’t just watch a demo — make it work for you.

✔️ Focus fully. Don’t multitask.
✔️ Come prepared with real questions.
✔️ Share your daily challenges and ask for solutions.
✔️ Don’t skip anything. Ask again if unsure.

A good demo should feel like a test-run inside your own store, not a scripted show.


✔️ Step 4: Don’t Just Ask the Seller — Ask Real Users

The real story always comes from people using it daily.

📌 Look up reviews online
📌 Ask to talk to a jeweller in your area who uses it
📌 Ask about service, reliability, and accuracy

These conversations will tell you more than any brochure.
