Apparatus for studying the value of the half-decay period during radioactive decay Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India

Apparatus for studying the value of the half-decay period during radioactive decay (Product Code: SCL-201/052) is a half-life simulation kit used to model the random nature of radioactive decay and find a half-life value in school and college physics lessons. It consists of 500 small plastic cubes and a plastic cup or jar, so a class can generate its own decay data through repeated throws. The kit is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India.

What Is the Half-Life Apparatus Used For?

Radioactive nuclei decay at random, yet a large group halves in a fixed time. The cube model makes this visible: students shake all 500 cubes in the cup, tip them out, and remove every cube that lands on a chosen face (mark one face on each cube first if the cubes are plain). Each removed cube stands for a decayed nucleus. Repeating the throw with the remaining cubes and plotting the count against throw number produces an exponential decay curve, and the number of throws needed to halve the count is the half-life of the model.

The listing also describes the classic isotope experiment in which Ba-137m, eluted from a Cs-137 source, is measured with a half-life of 2.6 minutes. The cube activity prepares students to read such real count-rate data. As nuclear physics lab equipment, the simulation can be run by any class, whereas any work with a radioactive source requires qualified supervision and compliance with national rules, so please discuss that part with us first.

What to Specify When Ordering

• Number of kits: one per student group, or one per class if results will be pooled.
• Whether you are also enquiring about the Ba-137m isotope experiment, so we can advise on what can be offered.
• Any additional plastic cubes if you want larger samples for smoother curves.

OEM Manufacturer

The cube-and-cup half-life set is an OEM product of ScienceLab, the trading name of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited. As the original equipment manufacturer, the company makes and packs the set at its own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India, and supplies it factory-direct to schools, colleges, institutions, dealers and importers.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is included with the Apparatus for studying the value of the half-decay period during radioactive decay?
The Apparatus for studying the value of the half-decay period during radioactive decay consists of 500 small plastic cubes and a plastic cup or jar. Together they let students simulate radioactive decay by repeated throws and determine a half-life value from their own data.

How does the cube model show half-life?
In the half-life apparatus SCL-201/052, every cube has the same chance of landing on the chosen face and being removed on each throw. The number remaining therefore falls exponentially, and the number of throws needed to halve it stays roughly constant, just like a real half-life.

Does the half-life apparatus include a radioactive source?
The contents list of the Apparatus for studying the value of the half-decay period during radioactive decay names only the 500 plastic cubes and the cup or jar. The listing also describes a Cs-137/Ba-137m experiment; whether any source can be offered must be discussed with us first.

What half-life does Ba-137m have?
The listing for the half-life apparatus SCL-201/052 states that the half-time of Ba-137m, the metastable isotope released from a Cs-137 source by an elution solution, amounts to 2.6 minutes. This short half-life makes it a classic choice for classroom decay measurements.

Who manufactures the Apparatus for studying the value of the half-decay period during radioactive decay?
The cube-and-cup set sold as the Apparatus for studying the value of the half-decay period during radioactive decay, code SCL-201/052, is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab) as the OEM at its own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India.

Can the half-life apparatus be ordered for several classes or for export?
Yes. The half-life apparatus SCL-201/052 can be quoted in multiple kits for schools, colleges, dealers and importers in India and international markets. Share the number of kits and the delivery destination through the contact page.
