A diamond tester (gemstone tester) is a portable electronic instrument used for preliminary identification of genuine diamonds. It uses a metal probe to directly contact the surface of the gemstone, quickly detecting its physical properties. SISCO offers diamond detectors online, which are robust, durable, easy to operate, and highly sensitive, determining whether a gemstone possesses diamond characteristics. The gemstone tester are widely used in jewelry retail, recycling, processing, and personal identification.
The main function of a diamond checker is to quickly distinguish diamonds from common diamond-simulating materials such as glass, zircon, and crystal, effectively reducing misjudgments caused by human experience. Due to its simple operation and intuitive results, the gemstone tester is often used as the first screening tool for diamond testing, but it cannot replace an authoritative gemological certificate.
When the gemstone tester machine is powered on, the probe generates a small amount of heat. When the probe contacts the surface of a diamond, the heat is quickly conducted away. The gemstone testing equipment detects this high heat conduction velocity and indicates a diamond through a beep, indicator light, or scale display. Non-diamond materials such as glass and zircon have low thermal conductivity and conduct heat slowly, so the instrument does not give a noticeable reaction.
