The device was designed with the following objectives:
• Aid to alert to the possibility of Type IIa laboratory-grown diamond
• Help in quickly screening out Type Ia colorless (From D to J color)
diamond (the most common type of mined diamond) from Type IIa
colorless diamond which is usually laboratory-grown diamond
• Provide consistent and reliable test results under proper use and
understanding of its functions
• Feature user-safe materials and user-friendly ergonomics that
gives clear visibility of results, maximum sturdiness and grip, ease
of use and portability
The capabilities of the Synthetic Diamond Screener II are as
follows:
• Test on diamonds within a range of dimension from 1.5 mm in width
and up to 5 mm in height. (approx. 0.02 to 10 carat size)
• Test on polished stones of common shapes such as round cut,
oval cut, princess cut, brilliant round cut, emerald cut, baguette cut,
square brilliant cut, step cut and mixed cut
• Can be used on both loose stones and mounted stones jewellery
with open-back setting
• Fast testing time of 2 seconds
The user is cautioned against using the Synthetic Diamond
Screener II on the following as it may affect the accuracy of the
readings:
× Stones that are more than 5 mm in height as the specific UV
wavelength has limited ray reach
× Diamond of colors other than colorless (D to J)
× Testing to identify other forms of diamond simulants i.e., moissanite,
cubic zirconia, etc are not possible
The SDS II features the following:
• 2 color coded (blue/red) indicator light bars to give clear results of
mined Type Ia Diamond and Type IIa Diamond
• Test button will blink in red to alert if the device is unable to detect
any stone on the photo-detector
• Exterior base rubber padding to ensure non-slip sturdiness and
prevent scratches to surfaces
• Streamlined ergonomic design that enhances portability and stability
• Exterior USB port at back of unit for connecting to external power
source
• International voltage compatibility
• Low battery indicator
• USB power
