PTC Taster Lab Control Bands
This kit is intended as an add-on to the Genotype to Phenotype: PTC Taster Lab
Enhance the miniPCR PTC Taster Lab
with pre-amplified and pre-digested control bands for the three
possible genotypes (homozygous taster, homozygous non-taster,
heterozygous). These ready-to-load controls allow students to directly
compare their own genotyping results to known reference bands, improving
the accuracy of their analysis after gel electrophoresis.
This add-on kit provides a clear visual guide, helping students
better understand genotype-to-phenotype correlations and confidently
assess their own experimental outcomes.
What is included?
DNA control samples for 10 lab groups:
- 1 vial of Homozygous Taster Control (TT) DNA
- 1 vial of Heterozygous Control (Tt) DNA
- 1 vial of Non-Taster Control (tt) DNA
- Note: All DNA samples are supplied amplified, digested, and ready to load (10 – 15 µl per lane)
Storage notes:
- If kept in the freezer, reagents can be stored for 12 months after receipt.
- If kept in the refrigerator, reagents can be stored for 6 months after receipt.
-
Note this is an is an add-on kit:
Required equipment:
Gel electrophoresis reagents and plastic tubes are supplied by the user
- Agarose
- Gel electrophoresis buffer (e.g. TBE)
- Fluorescent DNA stain (e.g. SeeGreen™ or GelGreen®)
- Plastic tubes for distributing samples to student groups
The Learning Lab Companion Kit (KT-1510-01) provides sufficient reagents to prepare and run eight gels when using the blueGel electrophoresis system, as well as plastic tubes to distribute samples to student groups.
