We are pleased to introduce PhotonAssay™ technology at a new, 3,000 m2 purpose-built satellite facility close to our flagship John Knight Laboratory in the Northwest of England.

As a leading provider of analytical services to the Metals and Minerals industry, we are proud to be the first company to introduce PhotonAssay™ technology for gold and silver analysis of commercially traded copper sulphide concentrate qualities.

PhotonAssay™ is a non-destructive technique that analyses 100% of the test sample, offering a significant reduction in environmental impact compared to traditional fire assay methods using lead collection. This method complements our existing analytical service portfolio, and with ISO EN 17025:2017 accreditation, clients can be confident in receiving the highest quality assurance standards.

“The introduction of PhotonAssay™ technology is the culmination of a three-year partnership with Chrysos Corporation. It is a testament to Alfred H Knight’s commitment to investing in cutting-edge analytical technology, ensuring agility while upholding our ESG responsibilities across our global laboratory network,” said Nigel Golborne, Laboratory Director, Alfred H Knight International.
