Description

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.
