Mitosis Set (Product Code: SCL462/0143) is a set of microscope slides used to study the stages of mitosis, the cell division that produces two genetically identical daughter cells, in school and college biology labs. Teachers can hand one set to each bench because the clear borosilicate glass slides are kept together in a white, rectangular plastic box. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, for buyers of a microscope slides set for school practicals.

Students scan the slides first on low power to find a region of actively dividing cells, then switch to high power and look for the sequence of stages. They identify interphase, prophase with condensing chromosomes, metaphase with chromosomes lined up at the equator, anaphase with chromatids pulled to opposite poles, and telophase as two nuclei re-form. Counting how many cells sit in each stage is a simple way to introduce the idea that the longest phases are seen most often.
A ready reference set is valuable when students also prepare their own root-tip squashes, because they can compare a clear example with their own attempt. Hold slides by the edges, return each one to its place in the box after use, and wipe the glass with lens tissue if fingerprints appear. As cell biology equipment, the set fits syllabus units on the cell cycle at both school and undergraduate level.
ScienceLab is the trading identity of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, located in Ambala, Haryana, which supplies slides, models, reagents and apparatus to teaching laboratories in India and international markets. Learn more on our company profile.

How many slides are in the Mitosis Set?
The listing for the Mitosis Set does not state the number of slides or the specimen used. Please contact us through the contact page for the current set composition before you order, so you can check it against your practical syllabus.
Which stages of mitosis can students look for?
With the Mitosis Set, students look for interphase, prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase. How many stages appear in one field depends on the specimen, so confirm the specimen details with us if your syllabus needs particular stages shown.
What are the Mitosis Set slides and box made of?
The Mitosis Set uses clear borosilicate glass slides, stored in a white, rectangular plastic box. The box keeps the set together between lessons and protects the glass when it is passed from bench to bench.
What kind of microscope is needed?
Any compound microscope with low- and high-power objectives suits the Mitosis Set. Locate a region of dividing cells on low power first, then change to high power to identify each stage and count the cells in each phase.
How should the slides be cleaned and stored?
Wipe Mitosis Set slides gently with lens tissue, avoid solvents on the mounted area, and hold them by the edges. Keep the slides flat in their plastic box, away from heat and direct sunlight, so the set stays complete from year to year.
Who supplies the Mitosis Set?
The Mitosis Set is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, Haryana, India. The company can quote it with microscopes, acetocarmine stain and the companion Meiosis Set, so a complete cell-division practical can be ordered in one enquiry.
Can you supply sets for every bench or for export?
Yes. The Mitosis Set can be quoted in bench quantities for schools, colleges and distributors in India and international markets. Tell us the number of sets and the delivery address, and we will prepare a quotation.
To order the Mitosis Set, send your requirement through our contact page, or add it to the enquiry cart together with the microscopes and stains for your cell-division practical.
