Taste Test Paper Strips, Genetic Response Laboratory Type

Description

Taste test paper strips for classroom, laboratory, and educational genetics activities. This range includes control paper, PTC, sodium benzoate, and thiourea test paper supplied in vials of 100 strips for comparative taste response observation, simple inheritance studies, and demonstration of variation in human taste sensitivity using tongue contact test strips.

Control Taste Test Paper Strips, Vial of 100, Classroom Comparison Type

Control paper supplied in vial of 100 strips. This control paper does not contain added chemicals and is designed to act as the control in taste test experiments. The strip is described as tasteless and should not stimulate a reaction. Instructions state to remove one strip from the vial, place it on the tongue, and observe no taste response. The supplied note states the cellulose paper is the only other ingredient aside from very small listed ingredients and that the strips have been used safely in classrooms for decades. Manufacturing and allergy related statements are provided with no assurance of allergy-free production environment.

PTC Taste Test Paper Strips, Vial of 100, Genetic Sensitivity Type

PTC taste test paper supplied in vial of 100 strips. This paper tests for the genetically controlled ability to taste phenylthiocarbamide and is stated to support development of a pedigree for an individual. Reported taste responses may be bland, bitter, or vile depending on sensitivity. The supplied information states that bitterness intensity depends on homozygous dominant or heterozygous condition in tested individuals. Phenylthiocarbamide is stated as present at 20 micrograms per strip. Instructions state to remove one strip, place it on the tongue, and observe one of the three basic results. Manufacturing and allergy related statements are provided with no assurance of allergy-free production environment.

Sodium Benzoate Taste Test Paper Strips, Vial of 100, Genetic Detection Type

Sodium benzoate test paper supplied in vial of 100 strips. This paper is stated to detect the genetic ability to taste sodium benzoate. The supplied information states that detected taste may vary from sweet, salty, to bitter depending on the individual, and that homozygous-dominant and heterozygous-dominant individuals will detect the molecule. Instructions state to remove one strip, place it on the tongue, and observe whether there is no taste or one of the three basic results: sweet, salty, or bitter. Manufacturing and allergy related statements are provided with no assurance of allergy-free production environment.

Thiourea Taste Test Paper Strips, Vial of 100, Genetic Capability Type

Thiourea test paper supplied in vial of 100 strips. This paper is stated to test for the genetic capability to detect thiourea. Instructions state to remove one strip, place it on the tongue, and observe whether it tastes bitter or does not taste like anything at all. The supplied note states the cellulose paper is the only other ingredient aside from very small listed ingredients and that the strips have been used safely in classrooms for decades. Manufacturing and allergy related statements are provided with no assurance of allergy-free production environment.
