Precious Metals Analysis Precious metals (gold, silver and the platinum group elements) can be analyzed and assayed by many techniques. Coupled with the many sample preparation options to ensure representative samples SGS sets the benchmark for reliable precious metal assays. Note: Lower and upper reporting limits of a given method can vary slightly among SGS laboratories due to reagent quality, access to consumables and instrument availability. Please enquire.
