Magnesium Sulphate
Magnesium Sulphate (Product Code: SCL399/0109) is an analytical reagent salt used to supply magnesium and sulphur to plants when nutrient solutions are prepared in biology and botany laboratories. Botany teachers use the 500 g pack for water-culture and mineral-deficiency experiments, where leaving it out of one set of seedlings shows what happens when magnesium, part of the chlorophyll molecule, is missing. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, a lab chemicals supplier for schools and colleges.

What Is Magnesium Sulphate Used For?
In a water-culture experiment, students grow seedlings in several containers: one with a complete nutrient solution and others each missing one mineral. Magnesium sulphate is one of the salts weighed out for the complete solution, and it is deliberately left out of the magnesium-deficient set. Over the following weeks, the older leaves of the deficient plants turn yellow between the veins, a clear visual lesson on why plants need magnesium to make chlorophyll.
Accuracy matters in these recipes, so weigh the salt on a balance, dissolve it completely in distilled water and label each stock bottle with its contents and date. Rinse all containers well, because traces of other salts can hide a deficiency symptom. Colleges that already use a biology lab equipment supplier in India for hydroponic trays and glassware can add this reagent to the same order.
Supplier
Magnesium Sulphate is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, which trades as ScienceLab from Ambala, Haryana, India, and sources reagents for plant physiology and other biology practicals. For vendor registration, the supplying company is GST-registered (GSTIN 06AAECJ8618A1ZT) and handles export orders under Importer-Exporter Code AAECJ8618A issued by the DGFT.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Magnesium Sulphate used for in a biology lab?
In a biology lab, Magnesium Sulphate is mainly the magnesium and sulphur source in plant nutrient solutions, and it is the salt left out on purpose when students set up a magnesium-deficient water culture to watch the leaves yellow between the veins.
Is this Magnesium Sulphate the hydrated form (Epsom salt) or anhydrous?
The form of this Magnesium Sulphate is not stated on this page. Because recipe weights differ between hydrated and anhydrous forms, please confirm it through the contact page before preparing nutrient solutions to a set formula.
What comes in one pack of Magnesium Sulphate?
One pack of Magnesium Sulphate contains 500 g of analytical reagent grade salt and comes with its MSDS, which sets out safe handling, storage and disposal for the school or college laboratory.
What is the shelf life of Magnesium Sulphate?
The shelf life of Magnesium Sulphate depends on the chemical, its grade and storage conditions, so no fixed period is quoted. Ask us for the expiry date of the batch you are quoted, and keep the container closed and dry so the salt does not cake.
Is Magnesium Sulphate safe for students to handle?
Magnesium Sulphate should be handled as a laboratory chemical: avoid swallowing it, wear eye protection while weighing and wash hands afterwards. The MSDS supplied with each 500 g pack gives the full handling and first-aid guidance.
Who supplies Magnesium Sulphate?
Magnesium Sulphate is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab) of Ambala, Haryana, India. Schools, colleges and dealers in India and international markets can order it together with other nutrient salts, hydroponic trays and glassware.
Can Magnesium Sulphate be quoted together with other nutrient salts?
Yes. Send one list of all nutrient salts and quantities, quoting SCL399/0109 for Magnesium Sulphate, and a combined quotation will cover availability and pricing; packing and shipping arrangements for chemicals are confirmed for each order.
