Precision Laboratories PTC Paper Taste Test Strips offer a unique educational tool for demonstrating the impact of genetics on taste perception. Each vial contains 100 strips, with each strip safely infused with 30 micrograms of Phenylthiocarbamide (PTC). This chemical is known to elicit a bitter taste in approximately 70% of the population, making it ideal for classroom or home experiments exploring heredity.
The strips are designed for easy use: simply place one on the tongue. Those who can taste bitterness are identified as 'tasters,' while those who cannot are 'non-tasters.' This simple yet effective test provides a tangible way to understand genetic variations and their observable effects. The 6mm x 48mm strip size is convenient for handling during demonstrations.
Imported directly from authorized US retailers and authorized brand partners, these PTC paper strips ensure authenticity for your educational needs. All customs duties and GST are included in the listed price, with delivery via ExpressBox tracked shipping. Experience a clear demonstration of genetic traits with these safe and effective taste test strips.
