EIS generators don't make colloids of silver, they produce ions only.The
colloids are formed according to environment, out of the ions...after the
generator emits them.
The greatest percentage of the colloidal portion is actually Silver
Hydroxide.If the current density on the electrodes is too high, Silver Oxide is
formed in the water as well. [ vs staying on the electrode ]
"Electrically Isolated Silver" includes all the possibilities present in the
finished product...a variable mix.

Thanks Phil, It seems wecan regard the term *colloidal silver*as generic,
considering that there are numerous, altogether different colloidsof silver.
For example, where I work at TAMCeramics, Niagara Falls, NY, we are readying
distribution of silver treated,granulated ceramics which gives a remarkably
effective water filter media for destructionof pathogens. I.e., for the
treatment ofthis filter media we use a colloid of silver.
It seems that the term ‘colloidalsilver,' is the way it’s described for sale
because for many it’s easier tocomprehend than the more accurate description:
electrically isolated silver. In fact, could it be that to be more
accuratestill we should call it, *PositivelyCharged Ionic Silver*?
BTW, for anyone who may beinterested, do checkout the article on TAM Ceramics
water filter media ofgranulated ceramics, coated with a small amount of silver.
The article is in the January/February issueof *Ceramic Bulletin,* the journal
ofthe American Ceramic Society.
If I do say so myself our ceramicfilter media is the one and only genuinely
sustainable approach to watertreatment against pathogens for the developing
world; low cost anduser-friendly as such:

The term 'colloidal silver' is more likely used in the chemistry arena, 'EIS'
is more likely in the physics arena.We are in the chemical arena, so CS is the
appropriate term here.
Both silver particles and ions work to control pathogens, each in their own
way. You might say particles work extracellularly while ions work
intracellularly.
We are really measuring clusters of silver particles in CS, so nano-meter is
the proper term. For instance, 1 np equals approximately 50 silver atoms.
