About Us

A directorate built around evidence

Directorate analysis bench

Directorate

Est. Directorate

We buy, test and certify rare metals, meteoritic material and scientifically significant antiques. Every specimen that passes through the directorate is measured on calibrated instruments, recorded against a documented chain of custody, and released with a written report a third party can check.

  • Non-destructive testing before any valuation is issued.
  • Written composition reports with instrument and method stated.
  • Discreet private treaty purchase for collectors and estates.
We / METAL ANALYTICS

At METAL ANALYTICS, our work helps to uncover what the universe is made of and how it works — and what the rarest materials on and beyond this planet are truly worth. We provide a unique range of particle accelerator facilities to researchers, collectors and institutions alike.

INFN Metal Analytics is a specialized research, acquisition, and trading company focused on metals, meteor rocks, space debris, antiques, and scientifically significant material specimens. The company operates at the intersection of advanced material analytics, historical preservation, and global resource discovery, providing expert evaluation, authentication, and market intelligence for rare and valuable metallic assets. Material Research & Analytics Advanced metal composition analysis. Spectroscopic and non-destructive testing methodologies. Technical reporting, certification, and valuation services. Market intelligence and investment research for rare material assets. Mission INFN Metal Analytics is dedicated to maintaining the highest standards of scientific integrity, regulatory compliance, and professional ethics while supporting collectors, researchers, institutions, and investors in the rare metals and advanced materials sector.

Practice Divisions

Four disciplines, one instrument set

The same analytical chain that resolves a subatomic event also authenticates a meteorite fragment or a platinum-group lot. Nothing leaves our directorate without a certificate.

What we are for

Our Mission

Our Mission

Measure first, value second

To hold the highest standards of scientific integrity, regulatory compliance and professional ethics while supporting collectors, researchers, institutions and investors in the rare metals and advanced materials sector.

Our Vision

Our Vision

Research-grade data, openly stated

To make institutional-quality material analysis available beyond the laboratory, so that provenance and composition are matters of record rather than of reputation.

How We Work

Three phases, fully documented

Nothing is valued before it is measured, and nothing is measured without a record you can take to a third party.

01

Consultation

You describe the lot, its history and any paperwork you hold. We advise on whether analysis is worthwhile before anything is shipped or moved.

02

Analysis & Scanning

Spectroscopic and non-destructive testing establishes composition, isotopy and structural integrity. Findings are recorded against the specimen record.

03

Report & Settlement

You receive a written technical report and valuation. If you choose to sell, settlement is arranged on documented terms.
