Quadrat Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India

Quadrat (Product Code: SCL353/076) is a square sampling frame of plastic-coated steel, divided into 25 sub grids, used to measure plant cover, density and frequency in ecology field studies. Students in schools, colleges and field courses lay it on grassland, lawns, forest floors or shorelines to compare species within a fixed area. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India, as a core item of botany lab equipment.

Specifications

What Is the Quadrat Used For?

Students place the quadrat at random points, for example using coordinates drawn from random numbers, or at fixed intervals along a transect running from one habitat into another. Inside the frame they count individual plants to work out density, estimate percentage cover from the small squares a species fills, or record whether a species is present in each of the 25 sub grids to calculate its frequency. Repeating this across many placements lets a class compare trampled and untrampled grass, sun and shade, or the zones of a pond margin.

Decide the placement method before starting and use it every time, so the results are free of bias. The plastic coating shields the steel from damp soil and wipes clean, so rinse off mud and let the frame dry before storing it flat. A set of quadrats turns an outing into a proper data exercise and is the backbone of any ecology science kit for schools and colleges.

What to Specify When Ordering

• The sub-grid division: 25 sub grids as listed, or one of the other sub-grid patterns available.
• The frame size your syllabus or field manual specifies, since it is not stated in this listing.
• The number of quadrats needed, for example one per student group.
• Product code SCL353/076 and the delivery address for the quotation.

OEM Manufacturer

Frequently Asked Questions

How many sub grids does the Quadrat have?
The Quadrat (SCL353/076) is divided into 25 sub grids. Other sub-grid divisions are also available, so if your ecology practical calls for a different pattern, mention it in your enquiry and we will confirm the option.

What size is the Quadrat frame?
The frame size of the Quadrat is not stated in the product listing. Contact us with the dimensions your syllabus or field manual specifies, and the manufacturer will confirm what can be supplied before you order.

What is the Quadrat made of?
The Quadrat is made of steel with a plastic coating. The steel keeps the square frame rigid when it is dropped onto grass or soil, while the coating protects it from damp ground and wipes clean after fieldwork.

How do I calculate frequency with the Quadrat's 25 sub grids?
Each sub grid of the Quadrat is one twenty-fifth of the frame, or 4 per cent. Count the small squares in which a species occurs and multiply by 4 to get its percentage frequency for that placement.

Who manufactures the Quadrat?
The Quadrat is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab) as the OEM. It is made at the company's own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India, and quotations for single frames or class sets come directly from the manufacturer.

Can ScienceLab supply a class set of Quadrats or an export order?
Yes. Send code SCL353/076, the number of Quadrats and your delivery details; ScienceLab supplies schools, colleges, dealers and importers in India and international markets direct from its Ambala factory.
