How a mysterious gold bar forgery cost a company billions: the true story of a counterfeit🔎 It was one of those cases that even the most experienced experts couldn't believe. In 2017, one of the largest companies in the precious metals market, Metalor Technologies, faced an incredible situation. Several suppliers delivered gold bars that, as it later turned out, were... not gold at all. At first, no one noticed the switch. The bars looked perfect: smooth, shiny, with the necessary paperwork. However, when specialists began their checks, the results shocked everyone. Instead of pure gold, the bars contained... mostly copper and silver! The problem was that the forgery was so well done that it couldn’t be detected in standard checks. The cost of the mistake: billions in losses. Given the volume of trade and reputational risks, the company suffered immense losses.📉  But what if the story had played out differently? What if the company had used non-destructive analysis methods that could have detected the forgery early on? 💡 What if XRF was on guard? If Metalor Technologies had used an XRF analyzer, like our portable ProSpector3, they wouldn’t have spent so long unraveling this mystery. The entire forgery would have been detected in minutes - without damaging the bars and with maximum precision. No surprises. No fakes. Just verified information🔬  Be confident in the quality and authenticity of everything you handle - whether it's precious metals or any other material. With our technology, you can always stay one step ahead of counterfeiters💪

How XRF unveils the secrets of Art? 🎨🔍  Working with artworks is always a delicate task-preserving fragile artifacts, combating forgeries, and uncovering the techniques behind masterpieces. Diving into the world of XRF analysis reveals how this method has transformed the way we study cultural heritage. XRF offers a non-invasive way to peer inside artworks without causing any damage. With its help, professionals can: ✨ Identify pigments and materials used by past masters. 🛡️ Assess the condition of artifacts to choose the best preservation methods. 📜 Verify the authenticity of paintings and sculptures. For instance, XRF analysis of a sculpture of St. Agnes at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum uncovered that the gilding was actually gold foil over a tin base. At the National Gallery in London, XRF helped reveal a hidden sketch beneath the paint layers of Leonardo da Vinci’s Virgin of the Rocks. Modern tools like ElvaX Art take this method to the next level. They allow for both laboratory and on-site analysis, thanks to the portable ProSpector 3 device. The system’s advanced control features ensure precise positioning, making it ideal for examining even the most delicate artifacts. XRF isn’t just a tool-it’s a bridge between the past and the present, helping us understand how masterpieces were created and ensuring they are preserved for future generations. What other mysteries of art might we solve with such groundbreaking technologies?
