AURACLE ANALYZER ELECTRONIC GOLD TESTER - TT65

The ANALYZER has the same electronics as the Kee tester. The ANALYZER features an LED meter instead of an analogue meter, and an LCD display with 'prompts' to help you with the instructions.

• Tests gold from 8ct to 24ct.
• Can be powered by mains in addition to battery
• Low-battery indicator
• One-touch calibration
• Compared with previous models the pen-probe has finer tip, lasts longer and costs less

Technical

• Size 145 X 105 X 30mm (5.75 X 4 X 1.25 inches)
• No acids involved, the probe contains a harmless salt solution.
• Tests gold from 8ct to 24ct (the scale is marked "K" instead of "ct" because it's American)
• The pen-probe provides up to 5000 tests.
• Simply touch pen probe to the item, result is shown in 2 or 3 seconds, very fast
• As with every tester (whether you spend £100.00 or £12,000.00) it only tests the surface. This means you must file the surface with a fine needle-file (supplied with each tester) in a place where it won't show, to remove any surface plating. OTHER METALS
• 
  The ANALYZER tester works best on yellow gold. Results on white gold are not so accurate. White gold with a high nickel content will give a reading that is too low; or if it contains Palladium or has a high silver content it will give a reading that is too high.
  Although there is a 'P' reading for Platinum (and the ANALYZER is is widely advertised as a 'gold and platinum tester') - we don't advertise it as a platinum tester - because it's not reliable. It does usually work if you file the item very thoroughly...but this is not reliable.
  Pure Palladium, steel and tungsten can read somewhere between 18ct an 24ct (be suspicious, 22ct+ gold because 22ct+ can only be yellow), but they can also read as platinum.
  Rhodium is used as a plating to improve the colour of the gold. If you don’t file it, it will test as platinum; if you file it slightly, the tester will pick up both rhodium and gold and the reading will be too high; if you file it thoroughly, the test (of whatever is underneath the rhodium) will be more accurate.
  Silver reads as not gold.
  You can test all of the above metals with the Troyest-4 acid tester.

Generally, we find that a pen-probes last between 6 and 18 months but it can be as long as 2 years or as short as 6 weeks-the guaranteed is one month from the date of purchase.
