Distilled Water (Product Code: SCL381/097) is water purified by distillation, supplied as an analytical reagent and used to prepare solutions, dilute stains and rinse glassware in school, college and research laboratories. The 5 Litres pack comes with an MSDS, and because distillation removes the dissolved salts and chlorine found in tap water, it is a basic consumable for any biology lab setup in Indian schools. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India.

Almost every wet practical starts with distilled water: dissolving solid reagents such as salts, sugars and enzymes; diluting stains before staining onion peel or cheek cells; mounting specimens on slides; and giving glassware a final rinse so that no tap-water residue interferes with the next test. It also serves as the control liquid in many experiments, for example as the hypotonic medium in potato-strip or raisin practicals, where it forms part of an osmosis experiment kit school classes use alongside sugar or salt solutions.
To keep it clean, pour what you need into a beaker or wash bottle rather than dipping pipettes into the container, never return unused water to the stock, and keep the cap closed so the water does not absorb carbon dioxide and dust from the air. Rinse pH-meter electrodes with it between readings to avoid carry-over from one sample to the next.
ScienceLab is the trading name of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, based in Ambala, Haryana, India, which supplies consumables such as distilled water together with reagents and glassware to teaching laboratories. Institutions adding the company as a vendor can note GSTIN 06AAECJ8618A1ZT, and export consignments are handled under Importer-Exporter Code AAECJ8618A (DGFT). Visit our company profile for more.

How much water is in one pack of Distilled Water?
One pack of Distilled Water holds 5 Litres of analytical reagent grade water and is supplied with an MSDS. Plan the number of packs by how many practical sessions need fresh solutions, stain dilutions and glassware rinsing each week.
Why use Distilled Water instead of tap water?
Distilled Water is used instead of tap water because tap water carries dissolved salts, chlorine and other substances that can cloud reagents, react with test chemicals and leave spots on slides. Distillation removes these interferences, giving cleaner and more repeatable results.
Is a purity or conductivity value specified for Distilled Water?
No conductivity figure is quoted for this Distilled Water; the listing states analytical reagent grade. If your work needs a specific purity or conductivity value, please contact us before ordering so we can advise on what can be confirmed.
How long does Distilled Water keep?
The shelf life of Distilled Water depends on its grade and storage conditions, so no fixed period is given here; ask us for the expiry date of the batch you are quoted. Once opened, keep it capped, since water gradually picks up dissolved gases and dust.
Is an MSDS provided with Distilled Water?
Yes, Distilled Water is supplied with an MSDS, which is useful for laboratory safety records, stores documentation and audits, even though water itself is a low-hazard reagent in most practical work.
Who supplies Distilled Water?
Distilled Water is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd, which trades as ScienceLab from Ambala, Haryana, India. The company supplies it to schools, colleges and distributors in India and international markets together with the glassware and reagents it is used with.
What should a quotation request for Distilled Water include?
A quotation request for Distilled Water should state code SCL381/097, the number of 5 Litres packs, your delivery address and any vendor paperwork your institution needs. Freight for liquids depends on destination, so always include your location.
