Apparatus Phototropic Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India

Apparatus Phototropic (Product Code: SLE/BL/08) is a three-chambered wooden case used to study phototropism in seedlings in school and college plant physiology practicals. Teachers use it as a plant growth experiment kit that shows how excluding parts of the light spectrum changes the way seedlings grow, with three glass containers, opaque and slot shutters and an orange & blue filter. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India.

Specifications

What Is the Phototropism Apparatus Used For?

Seedlings are raised in the three glass containers and one container is placed in each chamber. By fitting different shutters, the class sets up contrasting conditions side by side: the opaque shutter keeps a chamber dark, the slot shutter lets in a narrow beam of light from one direction, and the filter allows only part of the spectrum through. Over the following days students record the height and direction of growth in each chamber, and seedlings exposed to one-sided light bend towards it.

The filter comparison is the most instructive part, because phototropic bending responds far more strongly to blue light than to orange or red — an easy way into light-sensitive pigments and the plant hormone auxin. For reliable results, sow seeds of one variety, water all containers equally and keep the apparatus away from stray light from other sides. As plant biology lab equipment it can be reused year after year; wipe the wooden case dry and store the shutters and filter flat.

What to Specify When Ordering

• The number of sets — each set is one three-chambered case with three glass containers for seedlings.
• Whether you need shutters or filters beyond the opaque shutter, slot shutter and orange & blue filter supplied, since the case accepts a variety of shutters.
• Bench or shelf space for each set at 180 x 530 x 180 mm overall.

OEM Manufacturer

Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, which trades as ScienceLab, is the OEM (original equipment manufacturer) of the Apparatus Phototropic and makes it at its own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. Because the wooden case, shutters and filter come from the maker itself, schools and dealers can ask us directly about additional shutters, replacement glass containers or repeat sets for more benches. Institutions, distributors and importers all receive factory-direct quotations. Read more on our company profile.

Frequently Asked Questions

What comes with the Apparatus Phototropic?
The Apparatus Phototropic comes as a three-chambered wood case with three glass containers for seedlings, an opaque shutter, a slot shutter and one orange & blue filter. One chamber has a window at the top and back, and the case accepts a variety of shutters.

What is the overall size of the Apparatus Phototropic?
The Apparatus Phototropic measures 180 x 530 x 180 mm overall. That footprint lets the three chambers sit side by side on a laboratory bench or shelf away from stray light, where students can compare the seedlings in each chamber over several days.

Are seeds included with the Apparatus Phototropic?
Seeds are not listed as part of the Apparatus Phototropic. Quick-germinating seeds of a single variety, such as those your syllabus recommends, can be sown in the three glass containers a few days before the experiment begins.

Does the Apparatus Phototropic need a power supply?
No electrical parts are listed for the Apparatus Phototropic. The experiment relies on light reaching the seedlings through the window, the slot shutter and the orange & blue filter, so place the case where daylight or a lamp falls on it evenly.

Can extra shutters or filters be ordered for the Apparatus Phototropic?
The Apparatus Phototropic case accepts a variety of shutters and is supplied with an opaque shutter, a slot shutter and one orange & blue filter. For additional shutters or filters, contact us and we will confirm what can be quoted with your sets.

Who manufactures the Apparatus Phototropic?
Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab) is the OEM manufacturer of the Apparatus Phototropic (SLE/BL/08). It is made at the company's own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India, and supplied factory-direct to schools, colleges, dealers and importers.

Is the Apparatus Phototropic available for school tenders and export?
Yes. ScienceLab quotes the Apparatus Phototropic for school tenders, colleges and distributors in India and international markets. Send the number of sets and the delivery location, and the quotation will come directly from the manufacturer.
