Whenever we hear the term colloidal silver , what immediately has our minds is a colloid or suspension of colloidal silver. Silver nanoparticles are colloidal particles of from less than one micrometer to more than ten micrometers in diameter. While commonly described as' colloidal silver ', some are in fact made up of silver ion particles because of their high percentage of pure silver oxide content. Some colloidal silver solutions include a small amount of other metallic compounds also; these compounds help in the processing of colloidal silver itself by keeping it from sticking to clots.Colloidal silver nanoparticles release silver ions when they interact with an infectious object. Silver, together with various other element particles, play a significant role in killing bacteria, viruses and fungi by neutralizing their enzymes. Colloidal silver has been successfully used as an antimicrobial for decades now and the antimicrobial property of colloidal silver continues to be not fully understood. It is thought that colloidal silver may behave as an effective natural and organic disinfectant by killing microorganisms. Silver kills microorganisms by producing free radicals that destroy the DNA of the microorganism, while causing no injury to the living cell.A major study conducted at the University of Wisconsin demonstrated a powerful antibioactivity towards selected bacteria. The analysis was done on a variety of aerobic and anaerobic microorganisms, which are normal in water, soil and drinking water. To be able to gauge the antibioactivity of colloidal silver , optical and spectroscopy techniques were applied. The outcomes revealed that the antibacterial particle retention was significantly lower when compared with other non-organic materials which showed similar antibioactivity towards the tested microorganisms. The research also showed a substantial escalation in the antifungal activity of colloidal silver when the suspension was in the pure water phase.A colloidal silver nanofluid, whilst the name suggests, contains silver nanoparticles of different shapes and sizes held together by a natural surface potential. The outer lining potential of the organic surface is measured utilising the Beckley scale, that will be named after James H. Beckley who first used the scale to measure the outer lining potential of liquids and other substances. The size and shape of colloidal silver nanofluid nanoparticles be determined by its surface potential.Click here www.koloidne.sk to obtain more information about koloidne striebro (colloidal silver).
