The Osmium Institutes
To aid with the introduction of osmium as the last, rarest, and most valuable precious metal in the world to tangible investors, the Osmium World Database was established in cooperation with the customs agencies of the United States, Canada and Australia.
The Osmium Institutes have been established in 30 countries around the world for the purpose of properly preparing specimens for analysis. The analysis is conducted at the Osmium Institute headquarters in Murnau am Staffelsee, Germany. There, a laboratory is housed containing equipment necessary for microscopy, surface scanning, and material analysis.
Customers who wanted to pay for osmium in gold, silver or platinum had their goods analyzed using our equipment. Once analyzed and valued, they were exchanged for osmium.
As part of the expansion of activities, other analysis methods were added to our range of services offered. Today, the Osmium Institutes have state-of-the-art technology and extremely fast processes as well as exceptional service for precise and rapid analysis.
The "Osmium-Institut zur Inverkehrbringung und Zertifizierung von Osmium GmbH" serves the purpose of ensuring uniform handling in processing and trade of crystalline osmium. We offer certification services and laboratory analysis using the latest technology.
The tasks are carried out by a team of professionals who inform and train distributors. Our laboratory team has been certified by Keyence and has years of experience. They are available for contact at any time.
For private trade, the Osmium Institute provides appraisers who confirm the authenticity of osmium and verify codes. In addition, we carry out analysis and material determinations of ores, alloys, and tools, as well as jewelry and investment products.
Osmium Institutes are the point of contact for the press and television for information on osmium and its uses. They maintain an FAQ list and answer questions from all scientific and economic topics related to crystalline osmium.
The German Osmium Institute also has the task of building up an international network of regional institutes on all continents. It is under the scientific direction of Director Mr. Ingo Wolf and economic leadership of Vice-Director Ms. Scarlett Clauss.
