Hi Mathew,

I'll leave those experiments to those of you who have the time and inclination. 
 I'm satisfied that the labs are accurate in their test results.

  Hi, Trem and James,

  It might be possible to measure the ratio of ionic to
  colloidal silver by dividing a sample in halves,
  freezing and unfreezing one half, letting the other
  half remain at ambient temperature, and then
  measuring both with AA or muriatic acid
  titration. Alternating (& probably more crudely)
  a cooling curve could be run to measure the
  colligativity of the sample (displacement of the
  freezing point and/or boiling point.)
  I haven't done these (yet.) It's just a thought.

  Best regards,

  Matthew
