Does this test for colloidal silver that is said to be made as ionic colloidal silver? I purchased this to measure 10 ppm when I am making my own CS.

I had a similar question, and called the company number on the insert. They were helpful.

no...not likely. You must use absolutely mineral-free water....the metals or other ingredients will not permit the proper action of suspension of the silver particles in water. Even the osmosis method of distilling is not good enough. The water to use must be steam-distilled to work correctly. nancy morse.

This was my first experience with colloidal silver. I use silver lozenges and have warded off many a cold by using them. However, I felt no effect what-so-ever with this product. It may have spoiled me for other colloidal silvers. Maybe this was is different, because other people swear by colloidal silver.

When silver has a ppm designation it is referring to ionic silver which contains nano particles of silver. True 80% plus colloidal silver has larger silver particles that are made from 20ppm ionic silver using a reducing agent and we call this Amber Silver. We have found that Amber silver is more successful when used in creams and gels.

The TDS meter checks for dissolved ionic solids. Charge matter little. Positive or negative pH would give similar results. ie a pH of 9 would probably yield a similar TDS value as a pH of 5.

The td meter is optional. There are variables that affect the strength of the finished product like water temp and whether you are using batteries or plugging the unit in. If you want to know for sure what the strength of the colloidal use a meter.

Not sure. I am a metalsmith (mostly silver) but have used it on copper components of the jewelry.

The particle size is not given, but it is in the micron range. I've gotten great results on non-critical applications, and I would recommend this product without hesitation, although you may want to buy less than a pound to try it out. If you really need the particle size, I may be able to help you out, I have access to an electron microscope.

Guess you would have to have it checked out by a lab if you don't trust the meter that comes with it. It seems to keep our family healthy. There is a physics to how it becomes colloidal silver. I've often wondered how you can be sure if it's the real thing when you buy already made colloidal silver by companies who sell it on line or in health stores. Once you understand how colloidal silver is made, you then know it is what YOU are making & not some company who sells it for 10 times what it should be. You can always have it fresh too when you make it yourself.

I'm unsure of the exact percent of each of the elements you mention but the bottle does say "manufactured using only 99.9999 pure silver and pure ozonated, distilled water". It also references the website www.colloidalresearch.com where you can get more info.

I don't have the bottle label to read since I ordered it for someone else. It could be a mixture of nanoparticles and ionic. One view of an advertised label states both colloidal and ionic forms, but I can't determine the ppm of each. Likely, it's highly ionic which, reportedly, is good for topical use. 50ppm appears to be close to a maximum for suspended nanoparticles which, reportedly, is better for drinking.

FROM HM DIGITAL: Yes, any of our TDS meters can be used for checking colloidal silver in any range (up to the meter's max). Since distilled water will be virtually devoid of TDS and register 0 ppm (potentially 1 or 2 ppm), if you add 10 ppm of colloidal silver to the water, it will show as 10 ppm on the meter. One thing to note is that the TDS-EZ is one of our most basic TDS meters and does not have ATC (Automatic Temperature Compensation), which means it will not automatically compensate for temperature discrepancies off the baseline of 77F (25C). For everyday drinking water testing, this is not an issue, but for sensitive testing, it can be. Therefore, if the water will be much hotter or colder than 77F, it's suggested to get a more advanced meter, such as HM Digital's AP-1.

I have no idea what these questions have to do with me being able to get a reading of how many PPM silver is in the solution, that is created when you connect everything as instructed. It is a colloidal Silver making machine.....I cannot recommend this to anyone, and I own a beauty shop,,,,you think women talk

Confused by your question. It will measure for example a solution of say 1500ppm or 2000ppm. But measurements are in ppm (parts per million), not ppt (parts per thousand).

It only counts the solutes or the salt particles as far as I see in the description and I tried it once then I gave it as agift to friend. I do not think it will help in that but it worth trying.

it gets hot enough to melt lead free solder and sweat a copper joint...it should do silver though not ever having done sterling, i can't say for certain

I don't know, but the silver solution it makes works. Colds get knocked out quickly & cuts heal just fine. I just make a batch as needed. If I need to store it (lack of time), I make it higher ppm & dilute as needed. It passes the laser pointer test.
