Kit for Demonstrating the Absorption of Mineral Salts in Plants Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India

Kit for Demonstrating the Absorption of Mineral Salts in Plants (Product Code: SCL229/015) helps students show that plants take up dissolved minerals through their roots and need them for healthy growth. It contains mineral salts and two 250 ml Erlenmeyer flasks, enough for a side-by-side comparison of a plant grown with nutrients and one grown without. The kit is a simple plant growth experiment kit for school biology and is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India.

Specifications

Typical Use

A typical water-culture set-up fills one 250 ml Erlenmeyer flask with a solution of the mineral salts and the other with distilled water only. A seedling of similar size is supported in the neck of each flask with its roots in the liquid, and students record height, leaf colour and root growth over several weeks; the plant without minerals usually shows paler, weaker growth.

Covering the flasks with dark paper keeps light off the roots and reduces algae, and topping up with the same solution keeps the comparison fair. For project work in the botany lab, the idea can be extended by testing individual missing elements, as in the Sachs water-culture method. Ask us which salts are supplied and in what quantity so you can prepare solutions for your class size.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is supplied in the mineral salts kit?
Mineral salts and two Erlenmeyer flasks of 250 ml each.

Which salts are included, and how much?
The individual salts and quantities are not listed here. Please ask through the contact page and we will confirm them with your quotation.

Are seedlings or seeds supplied?
No. Raise seedlings of a fast-growing crop such as maize or pulses in advance, and choose two of similar size.

How long does the experiment run?
Differences in growth usually show over several weeks, so plan it as a project rather than a single lesson.

Can individual nutrient deficiencies be tested?
Yes, with the Sach’s Water Culture Mineral Deficiency set, which provides culture material each lacking one element.

Do you take bulk or export orders?
Yes. We supply schools and distributors across India and international markets.
