A countdown timer takes the clock-watching out of practical work. Teachers set it for heating or cooling periods in thermal experiments, for fixed reaction, soaking or drying times in chemistry and biology, and for the time allowed in a practical assessment. The magnetic fixing lets it sit on a whiteboard or steel cabinet, the clip holds it on a folder or stand rod, and the stand keeps it upright on the bench.
Choose it for intervals rather than for timing fast events: it counts down only, in 1 second steps. For pendulum periods, reaction times or other elapsed-time readings, a stop clock or electronic timer is the better tool. Many labs keep one countdown timer per bench as part of their everyday physics lab instruments.
ScienceLab, the trading name of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, supplies the Digital Timer from Ambala, Haryana, India. Schools and colleges often add timers to a larger order of physics, chemistry and biology apparatus, and the company can include them in the same quotation so one enquiry covers the whole list. Buyers across India and international markets are served. Company background is on our company profile.

What is the longest time the Digital Timer can count?
The Digital Timer counts down from a maximum of 99 minutes and 59 seconds with a resolution of 1 second. That covers most lesson-length activities, from short timed tasks to heating or cooling runs lasting well over an hour.
Can the Digital Timer be used as a stopwatch?
No. The Digital Timer is a countdown-only timer, so it is designed for timing set intervals rather than measuring elapsed time. For stopwatch-style readings, use a stop clock or digital stopclock alongside it.
How can the Digital Timer be mounted in the lab?
The Digital Timer comes with a stand, a clip and a magnetic fixing. It can stand on a bench, clip onto a folder or holder, or be fixed to a whiteboard or other steel surface so the whole group can see the countdown.
How big is the Digital Timer display?
The Digital Timer has a large 64 x 38 mm LCD in a body measuring 80 x 70 x 20 mm. The large display is what makes it practical for a teacher to show the remaining time to a class or practical group.
Is the Digital Timer suitable for timing short experiments such as pendulum swings?
The Digital Timer is not the right choice for short, fast events because it counts down in 1 second steps. For pendulum periods or free-fall timing, a stopclock or millisecond timer gives the finer resolution those experiments need.
