	Sam,

	It is very probable that the manufacturer of your liquid scintillation
	counter has developed protocols to count urine samples. Contact me if
they
	can't help you. My e-mail is rg26@prism.gatech.edu

	By the way, anyone knows how to prepare synthetic urine -this is not a
	joke- or a supplier of such?
