Reid: My understanding is that you are correct. If I remember correctly, one lab did acquire several samples of "isolated" colloidal silver with a claim for a high PPM, in excess of 100 PPM. While the advertised PPM was a bit higher than the end reading, it was high. Again, if I remember correctly, the particle dispersion wasn't ideal, and the particles themselves were quite a bit larger than a highly controlled, less concentrated batch.
I have no idea of the long term stability of such a product, though!
