Deniel Cell
Deniel Cell (Product Code: SCL378/088) is a Daniell-type primary cell used to provide a steady chemical source of EMF in school and college physics practicals. It combines a heavy-gauge copper outer vessel, a porous pot and an amalgamated zinc rod, and gives an EMF of 1.1 V with a working capacity of about 0.85 L. It is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India, for school physics lab equipment in India.

What Is a Daniell Cell Used For?
In this cell the copper vessel acts as the positive electrode in copper sulphate solution, while the zinc rod stands in the porous pot as the negative electrode; the pot keeps the two solutions apart but lets ions pass. Crystals resting on the perforated shelf keep the copper sulphate solution saturated as the cell works, which is why a Daniell cell holds a steady EMF.
Teachers use it as a reference cell on the potentiometer, for comparing its EMF with a Leclanche cell, and for demonstrating how chemical energy becomes electrical energy. After each session, lift the zinc rod out on its wooden cap, rinse the porous pot, and empty and dry the copper vessel so the parts last longer.
What to Specify When Ordering
- The number of cells needed for your practical groups.
- Whether copper sulphate crystals or other electrolyte chemicals should be quoted with the cells.
- Connecting leads with 4 mm plugs to suit the socket terminals.
OEM Manufacturer
ScienceLab, the trading name of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, makes this cell as the OEM, with the copper vessel, porous pot, zinc rod and terminals made and assembled at the company’s own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. Institutions and dealers deal with the manufacturer directly, so replacement porous pots or zinc rods and repeat quantities can be requested from us without a trader in between. Further details are on the company profile.

Frequently Asked Questions
What EMF does the Deniel Cell give?
The Deniel Cell, a Daniell-type cell, gives an EMF of 1.1 V. Copper sulphate crystals on its internal shelf keep the solution around the copper electrode saturated, helping the cell hold a steady EMF through a school or college practical.
What are the dimensions of the Deniel Cell parts?
In the Deniel Cell, the copper vessel measures 130 x 90 mm, the porous pot 150 x 50 mm and the zinc rod 150 x 12 mm, all given as height x diameter. The assembled cell has a working capacity of about 0.85 L.
How are connections made to the Deniel Cell?
The Deniel Cell has 4 mm socket terminals on both the zinc rod and the copper vessel, so leads with 4 mm banana plugs connect directly. The copper vessel is the positive terminal of the cell and the zinc rod is the negative terminal.
Are copper sulphate crystals included with the Deniel Cell?
The Deniel Cell has an internal perforated shelf designed to hold copper sulphate crystals, but our listing does not state that crystals or other electrolytes are included. Please confirm them through the contact page so they can be added to your quotation if needed.
How should the Deniel Cell zinc rod be cared for?
Lift the Deniel Cell’s amalgamated zinc rod out of the solution whenever the cell is not in use, rinse it and let it dry on its wooden cap. Avoid scraping the amalgamated surface, handle the rod with gloves and wash hands after use.
Who manufactures the Deniel Cell?
The Deniel Cell is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd, trading as ScienceLab, as the OEM at its own factory in Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. It is supplied factory-direct to schools, colleges, dealers and importers in India and international markets.
