All I can do to answer some of your questions is run a new high ppm
batch, but I can say I do NOT try to measure conductance with the gen
running and current flowing. I remove the generator and measure uS
immediately. Actually, I do not believe it is necessary to let it sit an
hour or a day, as the uS is pretty equivalent to the amount you would
measure if you took a reading after 24 hrs and used the 1.2 formula.
But, of course, you are saying not to use that formula as the silver
content the formula accounts for would be oxides and useless, have I got
that right?
Frankly I do not have the time to baby sit a batch of silver, high ppm
or otherwise, as you suggest, it would be far too tedious. When running
a high ppm batch, I do stop and remove the gen and clean the electrodes
occasionally, but only when I'm right there doing some other task, and
only every 2-3 hours at best. I do stop the gen, remove it, and let the
batch sit overnight rather than let it run overnight. I don't get a
reading I want the first day, I'll run it the next day as well, but
again, stopping and cleaning electrodes only as fits with my schedule.
Whatever I am producing, it works, and for topical use works better than
my standard EIS for me. It may have a lot of oxides, and probably has a
lot of particles as well, but if the PWT reading stays high it must
contain a heck of a lot of silver ions as well, isn't that so?
Off to start a high ppm batch now from a regular batch I made 2 days ago.

Thanks for replying and explaining your procedure. Unfortunately, I
was expecting a slightly different answer. I thought you were
turning the cs generator off for several minutes to let the ions
reach a uniform distribution, then turning it on again to add a
small amount of new silver to the solution before the Nernst
diffusion layer had a chance to build up again.
This would work, but it would be very tedious to do it manually. A
better idea would be to add a simple electronic timer to turn the
current on and off.
