OPTIONAL EXTRAS  A pen-probe is included, if you want a spare, select it from "Optional Extras". You will need a sample of 18ct yellow gold to 'match' the electronics in the tester to the reading on the display (technical term: calibration). If you are a professional trader you will have some 18ct hallmarked yellow gold. If not, a special18ct calibration sample is available from us, see OPTIONAL EXTRAS. Video Limitations The ANALYZER is for testing yellow gold found in jewellery. We would welcome feedback on how well it tests for gold in other forms (powder, granules, nuggets) but it is designed for jewellery...and it works best on yellow gold.  The ANALYZER will not test high-carat yellow gold (in this case 20ct to 24ct) accurately or white gold accurately; it will not test silver; it cannot distinguish platinum from Palladium. This is why every serious jewellery / scrap dealer also uses acids - they will cope with all of the above (see our  special set of acids for use with electronic testers, Q3-FOR-EGT).  All this said, if 90% of all your purchases are yellow gold up to 18ct and you're not bothered about buying the remaining 10%, then the PRO will cover all your needs. 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 6000 tests". They also say it should be replaced after a year. See more details about pen-probes. Generally, we find that a pen-probes last between 6 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.
