    Colour: D-J (failsafe across all colours although natural fancy colours will give a higher referral rate)
    Shape: All
    Diamond Simulants: Yes (not ASSURE Tested)
    Mounted Stones: Yes (not yet ASSURE Tested)

    Instrument Performance

    The below results demonstrate the performance of the DiamondSure with the ASSURE Core Sample:

    Diamond False Positive Rate (optimal rate 0%): 0%
    Diamond Referral Rate (optimal rate 0%): 4.7%
    Diamond Accuracy Rate (optimal rate 100%): 95.3%
    Speed (stones tested per hour): 193

    The ASSURE 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.

    The instrument tests individual stones and automatically displays one of the following results:

    1. Pass
    2. Pass (check with thermal pen)
    3. Refer for further tests
    4. Refer for further tests (type Ib component)
    5. Refer for further tests (type II)
