The actual detection limit is 0.01 ppm I think you have a math error. Assuming 6000 mL blood added to 250 mL of 20 ppm silver will result in 6250 mL containing 1.76 ppm which is 176 times the detection limit. The same test conducted with 500 mL of ionic silver will have the same result. Sodium heparin does not react with the silver. One could also try using an ISE to find ionic silver in urine. We have not seen an ISE reading above zero while atomic absorption/emission will register silver. This is an indication that the silver is in the form of a compound, most likely silver chloride. frank key -- The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver.
