To demonstrate ionic silver content, all that is needed, is a chloride ion source to be added to a small amount of colloidal silver. Normal table salt is sodium chloride (NaCl). When table salt is dissolved in water it decomposes into sodium ions and chloride ions. To demonstrate: Place a small amount (1-2 ounces) of…

How Does Electrolysis Produce Silver Particles?
This discussion of electrolysis assumes two silver electrodes are placed in deionized water a small distance apart to produce silver particles. The electrodes are connected to a low voltage DC power source (9-30 VDC). The electrode connected to the positive (+) terminal is referred to as the anode, the electrode connected to the negative (-) terminal is referred…
Are machines available that can make ‘true colloids’ at home?
No. All colloidal silver generators on the market produce ionic silver. There is no equipment for sale by any manufacturer that will produce ‘true colloidal silver’ consisting of mostly silver nanoparticles.
What is “mild silver protein”?
Some producers of colloidal silver add substances to their product to prevent the particles from settling. When colloids contain particles that are too large to stay suspended as a result of the mutual repulsive force protein additives will help to keep the large particles from settling. It is sometimes called “mild protein” or “mild silver protein”.…
Is a high particle surface area silver colloid better at killing pathogens?
The theory would lead us to believe that maximizing the surface area of metallic silver in contact with pathogens would increase the colloid’s ability to kill such pathogens. Silver colloids are available with widely varying amounts of particle surface area. Because this is considered an important metric for comparison, the particle surface area is reported in…
