No, there is no instrument that measures PPM of "colloidal" silver that you can afford [unless you happen to have a few grand just lying around]. PPM meters only measure "Ionic" content. This is not useless, but it's not accurate either. It can be off by as much as 60%. Along with eyeballing the Tyndal Effect and using such a meter, the best you can do is get a 'feel' for the potency...a good guess. But a 'feel' is good enough and better than nothing. It's not going to be exact nor does it need to be. Ken
