Yes, I have an Ion Selective Electrode (ISE) which measures the activity of silver ions only... although that is not quite true, the silver ISE is also used to test for sulphide, with a different buffer added to the test solution. This might be a bit of a problem when testing blood, as the blood borne proteins may well have sulphide groups attached. I will need to test the blood for anctivity before I take a dose of CS to establish a base line, if these groups do indeed result in a reading. > If the free positive silver ions were suspended in a solution of ultra pure > water, do you think that this might alter the results of your test for free > silver ions? > Do you know how one could measure the quantity of free positive ions > (cations) in an ultra pure water solution of colloidal silver regardless of > whether the cations are from the silver, the hydrogen or the oxygen? This is precisely how I measure the concentration of my product, unlike a conductivity probe other cations (or anions except sulphide) do not affect the silver ISE. However, before you run out and buy one, be warned, mine cost me over $1000. BTW you will be hard pressed to find an oxygen ion of any description let alone a cation ;-) > Spiroflex Ivan. -- The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver.
