Mitosis (Product Code: SCL507/0226) is a laminated wall chart used to teach how one cell nucleus divides into two genetically identical daughter nuclei in school and college biology classes. Measuring 75 x 100 cm on polyart, it gives the whole class a large shared reference during onion root tip practicals, which makes it useful cell biology equipment for India's school laboratories. The chart is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India.

Mitosis is a continuous process that textbooks break into named stages: prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase, followed by division of the cytoplasm. With a large chart in view, the teacher can move through the process in order and pause at each point to ask what the chromosomes, the spindle and the nuclear envelope are doing. The chart is also a natural starting point for explaining why mitosis matters, since growth, the repair of damaged tissue and asexual reproduction all depend on it.
The standard practical is the onion root tip squash. Students stain the growing tip with acetocarmine, spread it gently under a coverslip and search the field for cells caught at different stages, naming each one against the chart and counting how many cells are dividing. Many schools then add three-dimensional mitosis models, so the flat sequence on the wall becomes a set of objects students can arrange in order themselves.
The Mitosis chart is an own-make product. Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, trading as ScienceLab, is its OEM (original equipment manufacturer) and produces it at the company's licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. Schools and dealers building a series of cell biology charts can place repeat orders with the manufacturer itself, and questions about matching titles are answered by us directly, so just ask. More about the company is on our company profile.

What does the Mitosis chart teach?
The Mitosis chart teaches the division of a cell nucleus into two identical daughter nuclei, giving a class one large reference for the named stages of mitosis and for how chromosomes condense, line up and separate.
Does the chart show a plant cell or an animal cell?
Our product details for the Mitosis chart do not state whether a plant cell or an animal cell is illustrated, or which panels are included. Ask through the contact page and we will confirm it or send an image of the artwork.
Can it be used for the onion root tip experiment?
Yes. The Mitosis chart is a convenient reference for identifying the stages students find in onion root tip squashes stained with acetocarmine, and in prepared slides of dividing cells viewed under the microscope.
What size and material is the chart?
The Mitosis chart measures 75 x 100 cm and is made of polyart with a laminated finish, so it can stay on a laboratory wall throughout the cell division unit and be wiped clean when needed.
Who manufactures the Mitosis chart?
The Mitosis chart is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), the OEM, at its own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. Schools, colleges and dealers receive quotations for it directly from the manufacturer.
Is it worth ordering the meiosis chart as well?
Yes, if your course compares the two types of division. Displaying the Mitosis chart beside the MEIOSIS chart makes the differences in chromosome number, chromosome pairing and the number of daughter cells much easier to teach.
