Bacteriophage T4 Model (Product Code: SLE/A/106) is a one-piece teaching model of the T4 virus, enlarged millions of times, used to explain virus structure and how a phage attaches to the bacterium Escherichia coli in biology and microbiology classes. Mounted on a durable polymer base and supplied with a key, it helps school and college teachers make an invisible organism concrete. The model is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India.

Viruses are hard to teach because students never see one. A solid model lets learners examine the phage's head, tail and tail fibres from every side while the teacher explains the stages of infection: attachment to the bacterial surface, injection of genetic material, copying of viral parts inside the host and release of new phages. Using the key, students can label a sketch of the model and write the infection sequence beside it, a useful revision exercise before exams.
The model also supports discussions of scale. Since T4 infects E. coli, a bacterium far smaller than an animal cell, comparing it with a cell model or a stained bacteria slide gives students a feel for how small viruses really are. As part of the microbiology lab equipment in a school or college collection, it suits units on microorganisms, disease, biotechnology and the nature of genetic material.
ScienceLab is the trading name of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, the OEM that makes this bacteriophage model at its own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana. The company is a registered MSME with manufacturing as its major activity (Udyam UDYAM-HR-01-0003714), and overseas consignments move under DGFT Importer-Exporter Code AAECJ8618A. Institutions, dealers and importers deal with the manufacturer directly for quotations and repeat orders; see the company profile.
Useful companions for a lesson on viruses and bacteria:
Other biological models are listed in the Animal Model category.
Does the Bacteriophage T4 Model come with a key?
Yes. The Bacteriophage T4 Model is supplied with a key, so students can identify the parts of the virus shown on the model and use the same names when they label their own diagrams or write out the stages of infection.
Does the Bacteriophage T4 Model come apart?
No. The Bacteriophage T4 Model is made as a single piece fixed to a durable polymer base, which keeps the whole structure secure when it is passed around a class or carried between teaching rooms.
Why use the Bacteriophage T4 Model instead of a microscope slide?
Viruses such as T4 are far too small for a school light microscope, so the Bacteriophage T4 Model, enlarged millions of times, is the practical way to show a virus's shape in class and compare it with the bacterium it infects.
Who manufactures the Bacteriophage T4 Model?
Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab) manufactures the Bacteriophage T4 Model as the OEM at its own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. Schools, colleges and dealers can buy it factory-direct and receive quotations from the maker itself.
What are the overall dimensions of the Bacteriophage T4 Model?
The physical size of the Bacteriophage T4 Model is not listed in its product details. Ask us through the contact page and we will confirm the dimensions so you can plan cabinet or display space before ordering.
Which topics does the Bacteriophage T4 Model support?
The Bacteriophage T4 Model supports lessons on microorganisms, viral infection of bacteria, disease, biotechnology and DNA as genetic material, and it is a handy revision aid when students must describe the stages of phage infection.
Can the Bacteriophage T4 Model be supplied to colleges outside India?
Yes. The Bacteriophage T4 Model is supplied to institutions in India and international markets. Include the destination, quantity and any import documents your college needs in the enquiry so the manufacturer can quote accordingly.
