4. Put approximately 2 mL of Karo syrup in the dialysis "cup".
5. twist and close off the open end of the tubing with another plastic clip to complete your artificial karo syrup "cell".
6. Put your newly made karo "cell" in 250 mL of fresh tap water, test immediately with a glucose test strip. Record result of glucose test in Data table.
