Super Taster Test Kit - Phenylthiourea (PTC), Sodium Benzoate, Thiourea, and Control (No Chemical) - Genetic Taste Testing, Vials of 100

Comme décrit dans l'annonce, c'est un test à utiliser en cours de génétique (d'analyse sensorielle pour mon cas) histoire de montrer les variations personnelles de goût, et même les différences génétiques. Simple et efficace, je suis satisfait des premiers essais. A voir en vrai cours maintenant.

loads and loads of test papers! (great value) fun social activity for friends/family gatherings and for schoolchildren. Some tasted 3, others tasted none. It would have been better if there were clearer instructions/explanations of what do the 3 different tastes mean; and if someone tastes 2 out the three, or 1 out of the 3 means? I had to google search for answers.

The kit comes well-protected in a box (see my picture) and includes four tubes of 100 slips of paper: control paper, PTC test paper, thiourea test paper, and sodium benzoate test paper. I'm a biology teacher and do a genetics section every semester, so this is perfect. I can do 2 or 3 classes out of one kit, depending on enrollment. I also really appreciate that it uses a control paper to teach good practice. The instructions are clear and include both a simplified version for quick testing and a full lab activity for classrooms or group settings. However, the instructions are not included - you have to scan the QR code on the box to get them offline. Sort of a pain. In the classroom, this is a hit. Students loved discovering whether they were “supertasters,” and it kicked off some discussion about dominant and recessive genes. Overall, this kit is well-designed, easy to use, and provides an engaging way to learn about taste genetics. Plus, affordable always works for teachers. Highly recommend for teachers, science enthusiasts, or anyone curious about their own taste sensitivity.

Lots of fun

Very good
