38. The artificial urine solution contained 1.1 mM lactic acid, 2.0 mM citric acid, 25 mM sodium bicarbonate, 170 mM urea, 2.5 mM calcium chloride, 90 mM sodium chloride, 2.0 mM magnesium sulfate, 10 mM sodium sulfate, 7.0 mM potassium dihydrogen phosphate, 7.0 mM dipotassium hydrogen phosphate, and 25 mM ammonium chloride all mixed in Millipore-purified water. The pH of the solution was adjusted to 6.0 by addition of 1.0 M hydrochloric acid.

59. We repeated the experiment for pollen using a sample of artificial urine with no BSA, and we measured 34 ± 10 μM of protein. This result suggests that some of the protein from the pollen dissolved into the sample of artificial urine and resulted in the elevated measurement.
