III. About SAM by Presidium
SAM has been developed upon existing thermal and
electrical conductivity technology with addition of
technologically advanced circuitries as well as a highly
sensitive thermoelectric probe for distinction between
colorless diamonds against a wider range of moissanites.
The thermoelectric probe is designed with highly sensitive
electronic circuitry to detect and segregate data collected
from the gemstones via a customized micro-controller.
The information gathered will be displayed within seconds.
SAM has been subjected to thorough and extensive
laboratory tests, and will generally give a clear and
reliable reading of the gemstone being tested under
proper use. However, you are advised to conduct further
supporting tests.
This tester was designed with the following
objectives:
• Help in the identification of colorless diamonds,
moissanites and simulants with a single instrument
• Able to distinguish a wider range of moissanites,
including the new "low electrical conductivity
moissanite"
• More advanced processing and detection algorithm
• Provide fairly consistent and reliable test results
under proper use
SAM features the following:
• Retractable thermoelectric probe tip that ensures
constant pressure between probe tip and gemstone
• Industry's thinnest probe tip (0.45mm) that can test on
diamonds as small as 0.01 carats
• Power via USB
• Metal alert buzzer to ensure that probe tip is in contact
with gemstone during testing
• No waiting time between tests
• Stylish ergonomic design
• 180-degree multi-viewing LED display
• International voltage compatibility
• Low battery indicator
• Automatic power off of 10 minutes of inactivity
