Wee success story

Synthetic urine sounds like something more likely to generate sniggers than sales, but it is turning into a small success for a Kansas City company.

Dyna-Tek Industries, a company bought by Kevin Dyches and his wife Sandra, five years ago, has developed synthetic urine, called Surine, for the research industry. One of their first customers is the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention, which has hinted it could be a major future buyer.
