Instrument Performance

The below results demonstrate the performance of the Synthetic Diamond Screener II with the ASSURE 1.0 Core Sample:

Diamond False Positive Rate (optimal rate 0%): 0%
Diamond Referral Rate (optimal rate 0%): 15.5%
Diamond Accuracy Rate (optimal rate 100%): 84.5%
Speed (stones tested per hour): 240 

The Core Sample consists of 1,000 loose diamonds, 200 loose synthetic diamonds and 200 loose diamond simulants. The stones are 0.02ct to 0.20ct in D-J colour.

Instrument Capabilities

Automated Feed: No
Automated Results: Yes
Automated Dispense: No
Detect or Refer (synthetic diamonds): Refer
Detect or Refer (diamond simulants): N/A
Multiple Stones at Once: No
Training Required: No

Diamond Screener II automatically displays one of the following results:

  1. Blue – Natural diamond
  2. Red – Type IIa diamond

The ‘Red – Type IIa diamond’ result could contain potential synthetic diamonds and diamonds. These referrals should be tested further for full verification. The instrument does not require calibration by user.
