My problem is how will I do an antimicrobial test if the silver nanoparticle will not dissolve?
Why do you want to dissolve nanoparticles in a solvent to kill bacteria??? In many cases you can apply Ag NPs into polymeric network. you do not necessary need to dissolve them.... they show even better antibacterial activity in some cases
I hope that this link will be useful for you.

Did u synthesize the AgNPs or you have purchased? I do agree with Hadi, that you need not to dissolve the AgNPs to check the anti-microbial activity.
Refer to this: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22115597.
Let me know if you need anything else.
you dont need to dissolve silver nanoparticles to test its antimicrobial activity. Just infuse the particles in a disc and go for disc diffusion test against selected bacteria
what if someone wants to check effect of silver nanoparticles in cell lines? How to dissolve and use it in cell lines?
I have the same problem SNP not dissolve in water and i need it in blood aplication which suitable solvent can i use with no effect on the blood
Dr. Aziz, are sodium citrate dissolve silver nanoparticle completely ?
How to dissolve nano silver powder in pure acrylic emulsion and wate?
Dissolve the Ag-NP in DMSO. Initially it will not dissolve. Go for sonication for 15 minutes.
sonication of silver nanoparticles will make lost some of their activity.
