Electrode Rod Holders (Product Code: SLE/PHY/164) are plastic strips fitted with two crocodile clips and 4 mm socket terminals, used to grip electrode rods and wire them to a power supply in electrolysis and conductivity experiments. Listed as "Rods, Pack of 5", they hold a pair of carbon or metal rods steady in the solution so students can concentrate on what happens at each electrode. They are made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India.

Electrolysis with carbon rods is one of the most common school practicals, and it gives clear results only when the rods stay still. Clip two rods into the holder, lower them into the electrolyte and connect the 4 mm sockets to a low-voltage DC supply; students can then watch metal deposit on the cathode and gas form at the anode, and test the products. The same set-up checks whether a solution conducts, using a lamp or meter in series.
Carbon rods are brittle, so clip them gently near the top and keep the crocodile clips clear of the liquid. Use red and black leads to keep track of polarity, switch off before removing the rods, and ventilate the room when electrolysing chloride solutions. The holders are a practical item among chemistry and physics lab equipment for schools in India and abroad.
Electrode Rod Holders are produced by Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, which trades as ScienceLab and is the OEM (original equipment manufacturer) of this accessory. They are made at the company's own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India, and sold straight from the factory to schools, colleges, lab-supply dealers and importers. If your department wants more holders later, reordering from the manufacturer is straightforward — ask us for repeat supply. See our company profile for background.

What are Electrode Rod Holders?
Electrode Rod Holders are plastic strips with 4 mm socket terminals and two crocodile clips. They hold electrode rods, and also foils, in place during use, and let the electrodes be connected to a supply or meter with standard leads.
Are electrode rods included with Electrode Rod Holders?
Electrode Rod Holders are listed as "Rods, Pack of 5". To be sure whether rods are included or should be ordered separately, ask us through the contact page; carbon rods are also available as a separate item.
Can Electrode Rod Holders be used for electrolysis with carbon rods?
Yes. Electrode Rod Holders grip carbon rods with their crocodile clips while the 4 mm sockets connect to a low-voltage DC supply. Keep the clips above the electrolyte so that only the rods take part in the reaction.
When should I choose Electrode Rod Holders instead of Electrode Foil Holders?
Choose Electrode Rod Holders when your practicals use cylindrical electrodes such as carbon rods, and the foil version when you work with flat metal foils. Both use the same strip, clip and 4 mm socket design, so many labs stock both.
How should Electrode Rod Holders be cared for?
After each practical, rinse Electrode Rod Holders in clean water and let them dry before storage, paying attention to the crocodile clips. Handle carbon rods gently when clipping them in, because they can snap if gripped too hard.
Who manufactures Electrode Rod Holders?
Electrode Rod Holders are manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab) as the OEM, at its own factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. Quotations and repeat orders are handled directly by the manufacturer.
Can Electrode Rod Holders be ordered in bulk or for export?
Yes. Electrode Rod Holders are supplied in bulk to schools, colleges, dealers and institutions across India and international markets. Share the product code SLE/PHY/164, the number of packs and the delivery destination for a quotation.
