How PhotonAssay™ Works Video

From the moment a sample jar enters the unit to the delivery of a precise digital result — this is PhotonAssay™, step by step. We’re opening the black (white) box. This video walks through the complete process: how samples are prepared and handled, the physics behind x-ray activation, how ultra-sensitive germanium detectors measure gold, silver, and copper, and how results integrate with your existing lab and mine systems.

What you’ll learn

  • The full sample journey — from sealed jar to conveyor to irradiation chamber

  • How a high-energy LINAC activates atomic nuclei to reveal element concentrations

  • Why germanium detectors are the gold standard for precision spectroscopy

  • Throughput, detection limits, and QA/QC built into every cycle

  • How PhotonAssay™ results meet JORC and NI 43-101 compliance requirements
