Company Making Fake Urine for Research

A Kansas company has made for lack of a better term fake urine. The advantage for research is that it provides a consistant base for monitoring experiments. The CDC is one of thier first customers for thier fake urine. Just goes to show there its all about the marketing

LENEXA, Kan. - Synthetic urine, which sounds like something more likely to generate snickers than sales, is turning into a small success for a Kansas company

Dyna-Tek Industries, a company bought by Kevin Dyches and his wife, Sandra, five years ago, has developed synthetic urine for the research industry.

One of their first customers is the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (news - web sites), which made a big purchase this summer and has hinted it could be a major buyer long into the future. Other research institutions and laboratories are also looking into Dyna-Tek's product, called Surine.

"We have been very blessed with this," said Dyches, who handles finances and marketing for the three-person company, discreetly tucked away in a suburban Kansas City office park. "It was pretty discouraging until about a year ago."
Fake Urine

Fake urine is actually a pretty popular product with the stoner crowd.

Not that I would ever do such a thing, but one can easily circumvent a potentially awkward drug test by bringing in a bit of the magical saffron brew in an Elmer's glue bottle stuck between two hand warmers in one's pocket and dispensing the product away from the prying eyes of medical personell.

It really is all about the marketing

of course it is. id laugh if they start circumventing the problem by making u take a urine test to get the fake urine. theyd get more real urine too.

fake urine, score. is there some sort of urine standard they need to adhear to? is there a large urine market, looking for different, um, flavors?

urine. funny.

There are also artificial feces, used to test toilet designs (I'n not kidding, this was shown on TV).
