Home made dispersion/solution with detectable >0.1μm particles Sorry for the possibly wrong terminology. I'm not a chemist and I'm not a native English speaker.
Please edit the question as needed. Thank you.

Is it possible to buy or prepare a dispersion with the following properties?


the particles should be >0.1μm in size, for example 0.11μm - 0.2μm
there must be a way to detect them - even in a small amount (colour, taste, chemical reaction with something else, ...)
it mustn't be a "glue"; it must be possible to flush them completely away with water or something else readily available
it mustn't be a toxic or corrosive substance
the dispersion (or components to prepare it) should be readily available (drugstore, grocery etc.)
the total price shouldn't be higher than $20 (I know this difficult with prices different in every country - this is just a guideline)  


Why do I need it?
There's a very slight chance that a Sawyer Micro Squeeze Water Filter might have been exposed to a below zero temperature and might have been damaged by frozen residual water.
The manufacturer says there's no way to test the filter functionality in that case and a new filter should be bought instead. I wonder if this is really needed or there's a way to test the filter at home.
Try to get some clay and shake it vigorously with water. Let it settle for a several hours. Test your filter with the supernatant water and collect the filtrate in a very clean glass tumbler. Colloids have an interesting property of scattering light. In a dark room, try to shine light (ordinary flashlight might work or perhaps an ordinary pointer used in presentations/offices). Be careful, never ever look at the pointer directly. Look at the filtrate at $90^o$ (right angles to the light beam), if you see a light beam travelling in water, it means that colloidal particles are seeping through the filtrate and the filter is damaged.
