Auracle ANALYZER electronic gold tester

Summary

• 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 

See Review.

NOTES: calibration sample not included (see EXTRAS); this at its most accurate with yellow gold, readings on white gold will vary (see WHITE METALS); we don't advertise this as being able t test for platinum because the 'platinum' reading is not reliable. 

Detail

• 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
  
• Easy one-touch calibration with a sample of 18ct - not included 
  
• 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. 
  

Extras

INCLUDED:

At the moment we include the following free gifts (these don't come as 'standard'):

• Carrying pouch 
  
• Gold-polishing cloth
• Hallmark card
• UK power supply for mains operation

and you will have the option of selecting a free gift! (online orders only). 

OPTIONAL:

A pen-probe is included, if you want a spare, select it from "Optional Extras".

You will need a sample of 18ct yellow gold (it must be exactly 18ct). This is to 'match' the electronics in the tester to the reading on the display (technical term: calibration).  Anything made of 18ct yellow gold will do, just check carefully that it has a British hallmark (see the hallmark card, included) then you will know it's exactly 18ct.  If you are a trader, go through your scrap / jewellery, you are certain to have some 18ct hallmarked yellow gold. If not, an 18ct calibration sample is available from us, see OPTIONAL EXTRAS.

Reliability

It has the same electronics as the famous KEE tester (the most reliable tester!) so the reliability should be the same - we started selling the ANALYZER in late 2025 so we will know more by Spring 2026.  

Pen-probe 

A pen-probe is included with your purchase, if you want a spare, click on View Optional Extras. A pen-probe is guaranteed for one month.

The pen-probe is like a felt pen, if you don't replace the cap firmly it dries out. The manufacturers say it will give "up to 5000 tests" (which could mean any number less than this). They also say it should be replaced after a year. 

Generally, we find that a pen-probes last between 3 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.
