Super Taster Test Genetics Lab Kit with Instructions

For Genetic Taste Testing

This kit is all you need for a controlled demonstration of genetics and heredity. These strips can be used to help determine if a person is a ‘supertaster’ and can effectively demonstrate the effects of heredity on taste. The set includes one vial of each of the following: PTC (pheylthiocarbamide), sodium benzoate, thiourea, and control paper and also includes instructions for a lab experiment. Supertasters have the TAS2R38 gene, a bitter taste receptor which enables them to detect PTC.

This product is all you need for a demonstration of genetics and heredity. These strips can be used to help determine if a person is a ‘supertester’ and can be used to effectively demonstrate the effects of heredity on taste. Use these strips to determine genotype and phenotype, and use the control (untreated paper) as a placebo to add validity to your experiment. Designed to be a blind taste test, it can also give you insight into if the foods you like and dislike are driven by your genetics!

The set includes one vial of each of the following: PTC (pheylthiocarbamide), sodium benzoate, thiourea, and control paper and also includes downloadable instructions for a lab experiment. Each vial contains 100 paper strips. The set also includes a reproducible family pedigree chart and teacher’s instructions. Replacement vials can be ordered separately.
