Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of the Goldanalytix BarScreenSensor. The Goldanalytix
BarScreenSensor is a handheld tester which allows the professional authentication of precious
metal ingots using precise ultrasonic measurements.
Goldanalytix, established in 2012, is the leading provider of precious metal testing methods in
Germany. With the BarScreenSensor, we offer a testing device for the non-destructive
authenticity testing of precious metal objects, especially (gold) bars, over one ounce. The
measuring principle of the BarScreenSensor is based on ultrasonic measurement, which enables
the complete penetration of the test objects. Through ultrasonic measurement, the thickness of
the test objects is quickly and accurately determined at a given sound velocity, revealing
inclusions of foreign metals with other sound velocities.
By the way: On our homepage www.gold-analytix.com you will always find the latest version of
the instruction manual, so that you can keep up to date with new types of forgery and findings
around precious metal testing.
