Sigma Metalytics PMV Complete Guide: Which Precious Metal Verifier Is Right for Your Business in Dubai and the GCC?
By Telos Instruments | Dubai, United Arab Emirates — Serving UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, Oman
If you trade, invest in, or authenticate precious metals anywhere in the GCC — from the gold trading houses of Dubai’s DMCC Freezone to the bullion dealers of Riyadh — there is one question that never goes away: is this metal genuine? Sophisticated counterfeits have made visual inspection obsolete. Sigma Metalytics PMV instruments use patented electromagnetic resistivity to detect tungsten cores and plating fakes. Telos Instruments is your exclusive GCC partner.

Electromagnetic Resistivity — Not Surface Analysis
Unlike XRF or acid tests that only read the surface, the PMV generates an electromagnetic field that penetrates through the full depth of a coin or bar. A tungsten core plated with gold will fail because the resistivity signature of tungsten is fundamentally different from gold. The PMV also tests through sealed plastic capsules — no need to remove bullion from mint packaging.
No Chemicals, No Calibration, No Ongoing Maintenance
Perfect for UAE commercial environments with strict chemical handling regulations. Just place, press, and read.
