Details

These small, disposable test strips are commonly used to detect the presence of phenylthiocarbamide (PTC) tasting ability. PTC is a chemical compound that some people are able to taste, while others cannot. PTC paper strips are used in various scientific and medical settings to determine whether an individual has the genetic ability to taste PTC. When placed on the tongue, the PTC coated strip dissolves and releases the PTC compound, which interacts with the taste receptors in the mouth. If an individual is able to taste the PTC, they will experience a bitter or unpleasant taste, while those who cannot taste PTC will not notice any particular taste.

The PTC paper strips are easy to use and are commonly used in educational settings to demonstrate the principles of genetics and inheritance. They are also used in research studies to explore the genetic basis of taste and other traits.

The clear storage vial contains 100 PTC paper strips, each measuring 6mm x 48mm.

  • PTC (phenylthiocarbamide) only has a taste to 7 out of 10 people
  • Perfect for a demonstration of genetics and heredity
  • 30 micrograms of PTC on each strip - safe for taste testing
  • Each strip measures 6mm x 48mm

..I contacted Geyer via email. I had an email back within minutes!.. A back and forth via email sometimes takes days with other companies and customer service doesn’t happen like this very often. When it does, it’s much appreciated. Brett at Geyer was very polite and accommodating!

The customer service rep went as far as to reach out to the manufacturer of a product to answer my question, and then provided pictures. She really went above and beyond and answered the question thoroughly and gave me exactly the information I was looking for. This entire process was also extremely fast.

I called to ask how to submit a Tax Exempt Certificate for my library and spoke to a real person, no automation or asking me to press a number. He was friendly, helpful and got our Tax Exempt status established immediately.

...I don't think I've ever experienced that level of customer service before, and taking it into consideration along with the quality of their products, I would absolutely recommend Geyer to fellow teachers.
