Pitcher, Polypropylene, 500 ml (Product Code: SLE/GB/07) looks much like a beaker but adds a sturdy handle and a larger spout, so liquids can be poured one-handed with better control. It is graduated every 25 ml from 25 to 500 ml, stands approximately 11 cm tall with a diameter of about 9 cm, and copes with hot liquids as long as it is kept out of an open flame. Made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, it is one of the everyday prep-room items that a school lab equipment supplier in India is asked for when benches are being stocked.

A 500 ml pitcher is the natural tool for handing out measured portions at the start of a practical: a lab assistant can fill it with distilled water or a diluted reagent and pour a set portion into each group's beaker, reading the 25 ml marks on the way. It is equally handy for topping up a water bath, refilling wash bottles through a funnel or carrying warm water from a kettle to the bench for dissolving experiments.
The handle keeps fingers away from hot contents, and the wide spout reduces drips down the side. Treat the scale as a dispensing guide; transfer to a measuring cylinder when a precise volume is required, and keep the pitcher away from burners and hot plates.
This pitcher comes from Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited — known to customers as ScienceLab — an Ambala, Haryana maker of laboratory apparatus for education and industry. Read our profile page for details of the company.
