Cylinder Measuring Plastic (Product Code: SLE/CL/19) is a 500 ml measuring cylinder in polypropylene or an equivalent plastic, used for measuring liquid volumes in clinical and teaching laboratories where a break-resistant alternative to glass is preferred. It carries embossed graduations beginning at 50 ml, a spout for easy pouring and a wide hexagonal base, and the chemical and heat-resistant plastic is autoclavable, resistant up to 121 °C. The cylinder is produced by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, a scientific lab equipment manufacturer supplying labs across India and international markets.

A 500 ml cylinder covers the mid-range measurements a clinical lab makes every day: measuring distilled water for reagent and buffer preparation, making up diluted disinfectant or wash solutions, and portioning larger volumes of stain or media before they are dispensed. In teaching labs the plastic construction lets students handle it confidently, and the hexagonal base keeps it upright on crowded benches — practical considerations for lab equipment for research in India and for routine diagnostic work alike.
For the best reading, stand the cylinder on a level surface, fill to just below the target, and add the last few millilitres with a wash bottle while viewing the liquid surface at eye level. Because graduations begin at 50 ml, smaller volumes are better measured in a smaller cylinder or pipette. After use, rinse and wash with mild detergent, drain upside down, and autoclave when the cylinder has contacted potentially infectious material — keeping within its stated limit of 121 °C.
Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, the company behind the ScienceLab name, manufactures this cylinder in Ambala, Haryana, as part of its plasticware and measuring range for clinical and educational buyers. Our company profile explains more about the business.

What volume can the cylinder measure?
It has a 500 ml capacity with embossed graduations beginning at 50 ml.
What is the smallest graduation interval?
The interval between marks is not stated in our current product details. Please ask through the contact page if you need it for a method document.
Is it safe to autoclave?
Yes. It is made of autoclavable, heat-resistant plastic rated as resistant up to 121 °C.
Why choose plastic rather than glass?
Plastic does not shatter if the cylinder is dropped or knocked over, which reduces breakage and cut injuries on busy or student benches. Glass remains the choice for hot liquids or strong solvents.
How should I read the volume?
Place the cylinder on a level surface and read at eye level; with many aqueous solutions in polypropylene the liquid surface is nearly flat, which makes reading straightforward.
Is a calibration certificate available?
Calibration certificate availability should be discussed with us before ordering; mention the requirement in your enquiry.
