QUICKTEST has been manufacturing precious metal testers (all types of reagent) for testing gold and silver since 1986. In 2008 we acquired Troytest (Mr Hansen invented the Troytest in 1949). Quicktest and Troytest are the industry standard, used throughout the jewellery, antiques and scrap trades; simple accurate results from gold testers, a silver tester, a platinum tester, and white metal testers.

QUICKTEST 3 will carat test gold from 9ct to 24ct and will also test silver.

QUICKTEST 1 will test for silver only, or for 9ct gold only, a convenient single acid test.

TROYTEST and TROYTEST 5, testing acids for 9ct to 24ct, silver test, and a special test to distinguish white metals (platinum, Palladium, white gold and steel).

Available as complete testing kits or as acid refills (plastic or glass bottles). All acid testing kits are presented in a strong, wooden, lockable box for safe storage and all plastic bottles have childproof caps for extra safety; easy to carry, box sits comfortably on a table. Very clear instructions show how to test gold etc. Additional information.

We import magnifiers and diamond testers; we publish The Gold & Silver Buyer's Handbook by Raffi Katz; also UV lights, optical gem testers and electronic gem testers; weighing machines (including Trading Standards approved scales for use in trade), and tools for jewellers and watchmakers.
