I don't believe this to be entirely true.
 One can make a completely colorless batch of CS using LVDC that has a very
bright tyndal effect seen with a laser pointer and read 10 - 16 PPM with a
meter.
 Ions are too small to be lit up by laser light.
 Meters don't detect particles.
 Lab testing will reveal 25 to 50 PPM total silver content.
 I've seen slow run and stirred batches go as high as a 50% ion to
particlulate ratio and still have no color.
 I don't know what makes Mesosilver so special so I won't dispute that,
but, in LVDC home brew land, color is an indication of particle size. My
brown tea went down the drain and this boy went back to the drawing board.
 Unless some care is taken, the particles will not all be the same size.
Pale yellows and high PPM will indicate the presence of a few larger
particles along with many smaller colorless particles.

It's been my experience that no two labs return the same results when it
comes to CS. I've seen error ranges up to +/- 50%
 Apparently CS doesn't work like anything else when tested by instruments
designed to test other substances.
