5PK PTC Test Strips by Phenylthiourea – 100 Strips/Vial, 30µg Each, Genetic Taste Testing Kit

Pack of 5 vials containing 100 PTC Test Strips each. These strips are used to detect the ability to taste phenylthiocarbamide (PTC), a chemical that only some people can taste. Ideal for demonstrating genetics and heredity, each strip contains 30 micrograms of PTC, safe for taste testing.

PTC paper strips are commonly used in scientific and educational settings to explore genetic taste abilities. When placed on the tongue, the strip releases PTC, which interacts with taste receptors. Those who can taste PTC will experience a bitter taste, while others will not.

Each strip measures 6mm x 48mm. The vials provide secure storage, making them suitable for research and educational purposes.
