Bacteriophage (T4)
Bacteriophage (T4) (Product Code: SCL472/0192) is a laminated wall chart of the T4 bacteriophage, a virus that infects bacteria, used to teach virus structure and replication in school and college biology classrooms. It shows students the protein head that holds the genetic material, the tail and the tail fibres that attach to a bacterial cell, on a 75x100 cm polyart sheet. The chart is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India.

What Is the Bacteriophage (T4) Chart Used For?
The T4 phage is the textbook example for explaining that viruses are not cells: they have no cytoplasm or ribosomes of their own and can reproduce only by taking over a host. With the chart on the wall, the teacher can talk through the lytic cycle — attachment, injection of DNA, replication, assembly and release — and explain why the Hershey–Chase experiment used phages to show that DNA is the genetic material.
In senior classes the chart pairs well with a prepared bacteria slide, so students can compare a bacterial cell with the virus that attacks it and appreciate the difference in scale. It is also a handy biology teaching aid for coaching classes, since phage structure is a frequent exam question. Store the laminated sheet rolled rather than folded, and wipe fingerprints away with a dry cloth.
OEM Manufacturer
The Bacteriophage (T4) chart is an OEM product of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, which trades as ScienceLab and makes its teaching charts, models and apparatus at its own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. As the original equipment manufacturer, the company supplies schools, colleges, institutions, dealers and importers directly rather than through a trader, and replacement copies or repeat orders are handled from the same factory — ask us when you need them.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is T4?
T4 is a well-studied bacteriophage that infects the bacterium E. coli. Its distinctive head-and-tail shape makes it the standard example of a phage in biology textbooks, which is why the Bacteriophage (T4) chart is used to introduce virus structure.
What are the size and material of the Bacteriophage (T4) chart?
The Bacteriophage (T4) chart is 75x100 cm, printed on polyart and laminated. The laminated surface can be wiped with a dry cloth, and the sheet should be stored rolled rather than folded to keep it flat for display.
Does the Bacteriophage (T4) chart show the lytic and lysogenic cycles?
Our product details give the topic, size and material of the Bacteriophage (T4) chart but do not list its individual panels. Contact us to confirm the current layout and labels before ordering.
Is Bacterophage the same as Bacteriophage?
Yes. The Bacteriophage (T4) chart was earlier listed as “Bacterophage (T4)”, a spelling that still appears in its web address. The chart and its code SCL472/0192 are unchanged; only the product name has been corrected.
Who manufactures the Bacteriophage (T4) chart?
The Bacteriophage (T4) chart is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), the OEM, at its own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. Quotations and repeat orders are handled directly by the manufacturer.
Can the Bacteriophage (T4) chart be supplied with other charts for export?
Yes. The Bacteriophage (T4) chart can be quoted together with other biology charts and models for delivery in India or international markets. Send the product codes and quantities, and we will prepare one combined quotation.
