We specialize in the production and distribution of testing\nstrips for virtually every application. We value every one of our customers\nand strive to make them happy and satisfied. This product is proudly Made in\nAmerica Phenylthiourea (PTC) and Control Test Paper Kit For Genetic Taste\nTesting This kit is all you need for a controlled demonstration of genetics\nand heredity. These strips can be used to help determine if a person is a\n‘supertaster’ and can be used to effectively demonstrate the effects of\nheredity on taste. PTC (pheylthiocarbamide) can help you gain an understanding\nof someone’s genetic pedigree. The strip can taste anywhere from bland to\nincredibly bitter for individuals depending on their genotype and phenotype.\nThe control test paper is used as a placebo. Individuals who can detect PTC\nhave the TAS2R38 gene, a bitter taste receptor. Put one PTC on your tongue for\n10 second and if you taste bitterness you have this characteristic homozygous\ndominant or heterozygous. Use the control paper to add validity to your\nexperiment Do you have supertaster traits? Find out with this simple and fun\ntest! Perfect for demonstrating genetic pedigrees and learning about genotypes\nand phenotypes Includes 100 strips of BOTH PTC strips and control, perfect for\ncontrolled experiments Read more PTC Paper has been used widely since its\ndiscovery to detect genetic variation in tasting abilities.\nPhenylthiocarbamide (PTC) is a chemical which causes a bitter flavor to some\npeople. This is a genetic variation which normally occurs in a ratio of 75%\nwho can taste PTC versus 25% of those who cannot. Research suggest it is\nrelated to an enzyme which is produced by cells on the tongue. Though not\nessential for survival, this condition might explain why some people are more\nsensitive to bitter tastes than others. Instructions: 1.Remove a PTC taste\ntest paper from the vial. 2.Stick out your tongue, and place the strip on your\ntongue. 3.There are three basic results: bland, bitter, or vile. 4. Use the\ncontrol paper in the same way as the PTC, it should have no taste. PTC Taste\nTest Paper is perfectly safe to use. Any possible toxicity of PTC would be in\ngrams per kilogram of body weight, which is millions of times greater than\nanything which would be found in our taste test strips. Phenylthiocarbamide\n(PTC) is present at only 20 micrograms per strip. At this level, the compound\nis negligible and harmless.
