Ganog's Potometer
Ganog's Potometer (Product Code: SCL2409/033) is a borosilicate glass apparatus of the Ganong type used to measure how quickly a leafy plant shoot takes up water, giving students a practical estimate of the rate of transpiration in plant physiology classes. It is fabricated from imported glass tubing for a durable structure, and it anchors any transpiration experiment kit in India’s schools and colleges. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India.

What Is the Ganong’s Potometer Used For?
A freshly cut leafy shoot is fitted into the apparatus so that the joint is airtight, and the apparatus is filled with water. A small air bubble is introduced into the capillary, and its movement over a measured distance in a set time shows how fast the shoot is drawing up water. Because almost all of the water taken up is lost from the leaves, the reading serves as a measure of the transpiration rate.
Cut the shoot under water to stop air entering the xylem, seal the joints with petroleum jelly and let the shoot settle before timing. Students can then compare rates in still and moving air, in light and shade, or at different temperatures, turning a textbook idea into measured data with a single piece of plant biology lab equipment.
OEM Manufacturer
Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, which trades as ScienceLab, is the OEM (original equipment manufacturer) of this potometer: the apparatus is fabricated from imported glass tubing at the company’s own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. Schools, colleges, dealers and importers therefore buy it straight from the people who make it, and questions about replacement glass parts or repeat sets are answered by the manufacturer directly. See the company profile.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Ganog's Potometer measure transpiration directly?
The Ganog's Potometer measures the rate at which a leafy shoot takes up water. Since nearly all of that water is lost through the leaves, the uptake rate is used as an estimate of the transpiration rate rather than a direct measurement of it.
What is the Ganog's Potometer made of?
The Ganog's Potometer is made of borosilicate glass and is fabricated from imported glass tubing that gives it a durable structure. Glass also lets students see the air bubble clearly as it moves along the capillary during a reading.
Is a stopper or plant shoot supplied with the Ganog's Potometer?
Plant material is not supplied with the Ganog's Potometer, and accessories are not listed in its product details. Please confirm the set contents with ScienceLab through the contact page before ordering.
How can reliable readings be obtained with the Ganog's Potometer?
Cut the stem under water, make every joint of the Ganog's Potometer airtight and wait a few minutes after setting up before timing the bubble. Repeat each reading at least three times under the same conditions and take the average.
Who manufactures the Ganog's Potometer?
The Ganog's Potometer (SCL2409/033) is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), the OEM, which fabricates it from imported glass tubing at its own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India, and supplies it factory-direct.
How should the Ganog's Potometer be cleaned and stored?
Flush the Ganog's Potometer with clean water after use, let it drain and dry fully, and store it in padded packing or a fixed rack so that the glass tubing is not stressed or knocked between practicals.
Can colleges order several Ganog's Potometers?
Yes. Several Ganog's Potometers can be quoted together for a botany or plant physiology laboratory; mention the quantity and delivery location. ScienceLab supplies institutions and dealers in India and international markets directly as the manufacturer.
