ANS RESEARCH CENTER (ANSRC)

Gemological Laboratories

"ANSRC is the world's only dual-laboratory, uniting Gemology and Meteoritics with scientific precision and global credibility."

The ANS Research Center (ANSRC), under the direction of M.Sc Quang D. Bui, Res. Sci., is a pioneering academic institute dedicated to advancing knowledge in both Gemology and Meteoritics.

Our core activities include:

• Rigorous identification and classification of gemstones and meteorites

• Structural and spectroscopic investigations of meteoritic diamonds, including Carbonado, Lonsdaleite, and other rare carbon polymorphs

• Scientific examination of rare extraterrestrial minerals and exotic alloys, alongside exploratory studies of frontier concepts such as antimatter

• The development of gemological and meteoritical standards to serve both scientific research and international education

• Acting as the founding body of the International Meteoritical Program (IMP) and the International Gemological Program (IGP) - two of the most rigorous training and certification systems in the field

Equipped with state-of-the-art analytical technologies, ANSRC upholds certification practices aligned with the highest international benchmarks.

Currently, the Center is headquartered in Vietnam, with established branches in Sweden, Laos, and Finland. In the near future, ANSRC is expanding to the United States, Dubai, and India, reinforcing its global presence and extending its service to the international scientific community.

Though modest in scale, the Center holds the unique distinction of being the only institution in the world that integrates Gemology and Meteoritics, with a mission to enrich fundamental science and provide dependable expertise to the global scientific community.
