Gen 3 Test Data

This test is to verify the accuracy demonstration and consistency demonstration of our instrument.

To ensure the authenticity and validity of the test results, we will use Analytical Reference Materials International with international certification for testing.

The testing video will not be edited except for acceleration.

Analytical Reference Materials International

A laboratory analysis certificate from Analytical Reference Materials International, dated October 7, 2002, listing certified analysis values for various elements in aluminum, boron, carbon, cobalt, chromium, copper, manganese, molybdenum, nitrogen, niobium, nickel, oxygen, phosphorus, sulfur, silicon, tantalum, tin, titanium, vanadium, tungsten, arsenic, and other metals, with certification details, traceability information, and contact details for the laboratories involved.
A detailed scientific report page with data tables, text, and signatures from William D. Britt, discussing ASTM standards, calibration techniques, and analysis methods.

Gen 3 Accuracy Demonstration

Test results

A handheld device displaying a chemical analysis report with elements and their percentages. A coin is held in front of the device, with a label that reads 'ARM 25'. Behind the device, a printed chart shows chemical elements and their parts per million or percentage values, including aluminum, boron, carbon, cobalt, chromium, copper, and others.
