The new AMS device which can take up to 500 carats at once is a spectrometer based system that screens round brilliant diamonds from 0.01 – 0.2cts for potential synthetics and simulants. It automatically feeds, measures and dispenses at a rate of 360 stones per hour and is the result of several years of development, exhaustive testing and production. The device has already been installed successfully across key worldwide diamond trading hubs to increase trade and consumer confidence in this category of diamond.
