Aurora 900 Benchtop Gold Analyzer: The Ultimate XRF Solution for Jewelers and Bullion Traders in UAE and Saudi Arabia
Lab-grade accuracy, non-destructive testing, and 28+ element detection β the professional benchtop XRF analyzer for gold businesses across the GCC.
From the glittering display cases of Dubai’s Gold Souk to the high-volume bullion trading desks of Riyadh and Jeddah, one truth underpins every transaction in the GCC gold market: accuracy is everything. Whether you are a jeweler verifying a customer’s trade-in, a bullion dealer purchasing a shipment of gold bars, or a refinery grading incoming scrap, the cost of getting purity wrong is enormous. That is why Telos Instruments is proud to bring the Terra Scientific Aurora 900 Benchtop Gold Analyzer to gold businesses across the UAE and Saudi Arabia.
What Is the Terra Scientific Aurora 900?
The Aurora 900 series by Terra Scientific is a groundbreaking benchtop gold analyzer that offers a fast and exceptionally precise method for determining gold concentration or karat, catering to quality control, pricing, and practical applications. It enables users to perform immediate, cost-effective, and completely non-destructive tests to determine gold purity and verify alloy compositions.
Besides gold, the Aurora 900 series excels at analyzing a wide range of other precious metals. The analyzer comes with comprehensive elements analysis, such as Ag, Pd, Rh, Ru, Au, Pt, Ir, Zn, Cu, Re, Ta, Hf, Ni, Co, Fe, Ti, Cr, Mn, Pb, Bi, Zr, Sn, Sb, Cd, In, Ga, Ge, W, Os, etc. (for models with SDD detectors). With the Terra Aurora 900 series, precisely measuring the concentration of precious metals in jewelry, coins, and other valuable items takes only seconds.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a gold purity test take with the Aurora 900?
Results are delivered in seconds. Most gold and karat testing applications are complete within 5 to 60 seconds depending on the testing mode selected.
Can the Aurora 900 detect if a gold bar has a tungsten core?
Yes. Tungsten shows up clearly in the elemental analysis. Any gold bar containing a tungsten core will be flagged immediately, protecting traders from one of the most common forms of gold bar fraud.
Is the Aurora 900 safe to use in a jewelry store?
Absolutely. The closed-beam design and safety-guard sensing device automatically close the X-ray beam when no sample is present. The unit carries CE certification and is designed for non-specialist retail environments.
Can the Aurora 900 test platinum and silver as well as gold?
Yes. The Aurora 900 is a full precious metals analyzer. It can test gold, silver, platinum, palladium, rhodium, and all related alloys with the same level of accuracy.
Is the Aurora 900 available for demonstration in the UAE or Saudi Arabia?
Yes. Contact Telos Instruments to arrange a live demonstration at your location. We bring the machine to you so you can test your own gold items before making a purchase decision.
