Hello, Ode,
As you know, I am new to CS (3 months), and have learned a lot from you and
several other list members. I have read many opinions about CS contamination
and durability, and from what I conclude I assume that simply working with
reasonable care and cleanliness should be enough to have a good quality home
product that should last at least for many months.
I have never seen any of you mention the need of working under strict
laboratory conditions, with permanent sterilization of containers,
electrodes, utensils, etc., use of sterile latex gloves, hermetically closed
working environment, etc. Of course very clean hands are not sterile,
electrodes that are polished with ScotchBrite tissue and cleaned with an
unused paper towel are not sterile, a freshly emptied bottle from last batch
is not sterile, dust and lint that are floating in the air and falling all
over us and the batch we are making are not sterile either, and as I have
understood from you and others we don´t need to be paranoic about many
microbes that end up inside our CS batch.
As long as we use high quality distilled water (I use steam bi-distilled,
de-ionized water employed for laboratory analysis) and have an adequate
process that yields a good quality product I understand that we should not
worry about it lasting enough.
In using CS directly from a bottle my technique is very similar to the one
Mike Devour and family use: I hold its neck with my hand, lean my thumb
below my lower lip and just pour the liquid inside my mouth without touching
the bottle with it. These bottles that are used for direct drinking are
washed and boiled before filling them again, but the ones where we keep our
stock of CS are just refilled once they are empty.
If I am wrong please correct me. I want to learn more every day.
Thank you.
Carlos

EIS/CS doesn't have a "charge" [as commonly promoted as ionic charge ]
after a few hours.
Once all the ions find the anions made at the same time, it's over all
charge neutral and particle repulsion is presented by weak Vandervals
forces, not "ionic charge". Being extremely chemically active, it's not
likely that many, if any, "free ions" exist after a few hours.
What ions get stripped off in vivo and -become- ionically charged
-again-..and what that does, is a subject for many guesses.
It is, however, generally stable on the shelf for years if only pure
water is present.
In the presence of other substances, it's not very stable. Ions strip
easily.
