Regarding silver chloride solubility: I asked Dr. Maass to make a calculation based on the solubility product of silver chloride in blood serum whose typical chloride content is 3500 ppm (3300 - 3900 ppm per Merck Manual). Silver ions can exist at a concentration of 1.94 x10-4 ppm which is 0.000194 ppm. This is the maximum concentration of ionic silver that can exist in blood serum containing 3500 ppm of chloride.
That explains why an ISE cannot detect silver, the value is below the detection limit of an ISE. Also see the solubility rules table see: http://www.silver-colloids.com/Tutorials/Solubility_Rules.htm frank key -- The Silver List is a moderated forum for discussing Colloidal Silver.
