Clinostat (Electric) Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India

Clinostat (Electric) (Product Code: SLE/BL/14) is a motor-driven plant physiology instrument used to study geotropism and phototropism on seedlings, cut shoots and small potted plants in school and college botany labs. Seedlings pinned to its cork-faced disc turn slowly at 5 revolutions per hour on 220V, 50Hz mains, so gravity or light no longer acts from one fixed direction. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India.

Specifications

What Is the Electric Clinostat Used For?

For a geotropism experiment, germinate seeds such as peas or beans on damp cotton until the roots and shoots are a few centimetres long, pin them to the cork disc and set the axis horizontal with the thumb screw. As the disc turns at 5 revolutions per hour, each seedling experiences gravity from every side in turn, so roots and shoots keep growing in the direction they were placed. A second set pinned to a stationary cork board shows the normal response, with roots curving down and shoots curving up, for direct comparison.

Phototropism is demonstrated the same way: a plant rotating beside a window grows straight, while a stationary control bends towards the light. The clear plastic cover helps hold humidity around the specimens during longer runs. As with any mains-powered botany lab equipment, connect the 3-core cable to an earthed socket, keep water away from the motor housing and switch off before repositioning seedlings.

OEM Manufacturer

Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, trading as ScienceLab, is the OEM (original equipment manufacturer) of this electric clinostat and builds it at its own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. Schools, colleges, universities, dealers and importers buy it factory-direct rather than through a trader. Questions about a spare cork disc, cover or repeat order are handled by the manufacturer itself; just ask us. Learn more on our company profile.

Frequently Asked Questions

What plant material can be mounted on the Clinostat (Electric)?
The Clinostat (Electric) takes seedlings, cut shoots and small potted plants. Seedlings are pinned to the cork-faced disc, and a fitting on the disc accepts a specimen tube, so both pinned and tube-held material can be rotated.

How fast does the Clinostat (Electric) rotate?
The motor of the Clinostat (Electric) turns the disc at 5 revolutions per hour, slow enough to avoid spinning effects while evening out the gravity or light stimulus acting on the seedlings over time.

What is the diameter of the cork disc?
Our catalogue data for the Clinostat (Electric) lists the cork disc as both 70 mm and 100 mm in diameter, so please confirm the disc size with us through the contact page before ordering if it matters for your specimens.

What power supply does the Clinostat (Electric) need?
The Clinostat (Electric) runs on 220V, 50Hz mains and comes complete with a 3-core cable. If your laboratory uses a different mains supply, raise it with us before ordering so the quotation matches your site.

Can the axis angle of the clinostat be changed?
Yes. On the Clinostat (Electric) a thumb screw adjusts the angle, so the disc can be set horizontally for geotropism work or at other angles for comparison runs, with the clear plastic cover protecting the specimens.

Who manufactures the Clinostat (Electric)?
Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab) is the OEM manufacturer of the Clinostat (Electric), building it at its own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India, and supplying schools, colleges and dealers directly.

Is a calibration certificate available for the Clinostat (Electric)?
The Clinostat (Electric) is a teaching instrument rather than a measuring device. If your institution needs any documentation, including a calibration certificate, discuss it with us at enquiry stage; quotations for India and international markets come direct from the manufacturer.
