Asif, don't waste your time with uS meters except for testing the purity of your water, as they were only designed for that purpose, and nothing more, they cannot in any way measure ionic content of silver sol or be used to infer any value for ppm of silver ions in a sol through extrapolation by some mathematical means. No matter how you play with maths you will not get a proper answer. Rather, standardize your method of manufacture (for some tips please see my essay on the manufacture of silver sols at Mothman777's Blog') Make some 20 ml specimens and submit those to a professional lab (university labs are cheapest), they will dissolve all the clusters of ions into single ions with the addition of nitric acid, then a fine vapour of this is aspirated under pressure into an argon plasma flame at a high temperature and the colour of the spectrum will tell you accurately what you have made, but bear in mind that 10 ppm might all be in a small number of a few thousand clusters (for example) or might be in trillions of clusters.
