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.
- Are you a supertaster? Find out with this simple and fun test!
- Contains 100 strips each of ptc, sodium benzoate, thiourea, and control paper.
- Perfect for demonstrating genetic pedigrees and learning about genotypes and phenotypes
- Reproducible family pedigree chart and lab instructions for a blind taste test
- Test the genetically-determined taste response of students and families
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.

I used this as a supplemental lab for honors classes.
Recommend it for an introductory lab, just have some water nearby... if you can taste the Thiourea, you will want a drink fast :D
Also - the set is well packaged and well labeled. Do be careful though (!) because the strips are visually absolutely identical (!!), so once they leave their tubes, you can't tell them apart without tasting them. This is a GOOD THING, not a criticism at all, because you don't want audience to have clues other than taste, but you do have to be careful with how you hand them out. I either do so one tube at a time, keeping other tubes securely closed, or I put them on separate dishes where they can not accidentally mix, or I attach them to post-it notes in order so they can't slide around.
Nice product. I will buy it again.
