If you are young and healthy, it really doesn't matter how good or bad the cs is. Many people have obtained great benefit with a 3 nines generator despite huge variations in quality of the dw, electrode length and placement, variability in brew times, battery voltage, and so on. It works fine to kill bacteria, help heal minor cuts, and even some of the weaker viruses. The salt test is ideal in these circumstances to show you indeed have cs, and to give an idea how strong it is. I posted a brief table a while ago that gives a rough guide. This is in 10 ppm increments, but you can easily interpolate between the readings and judge the concentration within 5 ppm: http://escribe.com/health/thesilverlist/m61467.html Since then, I discovered Bob Lee's Faraday calculations, and found how useful Mercury is to calculate the amount of silver liberated. I also realized it would be possible to measure the time it takes for the dispersion to appear, which would give more objective information on the amount of silver present. I have not had time to run through the process in small increments, but it would vastly increase the usefulness of the test. It is really not necessary to send you cs to a lab, especially if you are young and healthy. It won't tell you much about variations in your process, where the salt test can be used daily at very little cost. If you do decide to get an analysis, make sure you use a lab that has demonstrated competence in this field. One good way to verify is to check the correlation between uS and ppm. As Trem, Frank, Ivan, and Ken agree, there should be a close correlation between these two parameters. Right now, Frank's analysis looks to be the best available. He has published reports on various products on his web site, and they show that he knows how to get accurate measurements. He also has NIST traceability, which is necessary to ensure his calibration references remain accurate. But most people have never sent their cs to a lab. There's really no need, especially if you are using one of the better cs generators discussed here.
