If you do not verify that your solution is indeed nothing but silver ions in pure H20, you cannot really be sure of anything else. Frustrating, but true (and believe me,I share your pain). Thorough, competent testing is always going to be better than a guess. Unfortunately, it is also terribly expensive, so most of us will have to settle for guessing. So long as we don't pronounce our guesses as "proof", and understand our limitations as amateurs, there is nothing wrong with that. Undesirable side effects from EIS are rare after all, so long as we follow a few well known precautions. The worst "horror story" I've seen so far on this list is blue moons, so really I feel quite relieved.
