Red Spirit-Filled Thermometers (Product Code: SLE/ME/37) are mercury-free liquid thermometers used to measure temperature during practical work in school and college science laboratories. Teachers choose them for student benches because the column is a petroleum-based liquid coloured with red dye, which is significantly safer than mercury, and each thermometer has a slim 6–7 mm outer diameter. They are made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India — a school lab equipment manufacturer supplying institutions directly.

Red spirit-filled thermometers are the everyday choice for heating and cooling curves, simple calorimetry, measuring the temperature change of dissolving or neutralisation reactions, and keeping an eye on water-bath temperatures in biology practicals. The coloured column stands out clearly against the scale, and because no mercury is involved, a breakage on a crowded bench is much simpler to clear up — a practical reason to choose them when stocking up thermometry apparatus for schools in India.
Because the bulb is no wider than the stem, the thermometer can be passed bulb-first through a correctly bored stopper or held in a thermometer clamp without forcing it. For reliable readings, keep the bulb fully immersed without touching the bottom of the vessel, read the top of the column at eye level, and never use the thermometer as a stirring rod. Store the thermometers flat or upright in a rack so the column stays continuous.
ScienceLab is the trading name of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, the OEM (original equipment manufacturer) of these red spirit-filled thermometers. They are made at the company's own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India, rather than bought in from a trader, and are supplied factory-direct to schools, colleges, laboratory dealers and importers.
Repeat orders and replacement thermometers for existing lab sets are handled by the manufacturer itself — just ask us when breakages need replacing. Read more about the company on the ScienceLab company profile.

What liquid is inside the Red Spirit-Filled Thermometers?
The Red Spirit-Filled Thermometers contain a petroleum-based liquid column coloured with red dye instead of mercury. This makes them significantly safer for student practicals, because an accidental breakage does not release mercury onto the laboratory bench.
What is the diameter of the Red Spirit-Filled Thermometers?
Each of the Red Spirit-Filled Thermometers has an outer diameter of 6–7 mm, and the bulb is equal to or smaller than the stem in diameter, so the thermometer passes easily through a suitably bored stopper or clamp.
What temperature range do the Red Spirit-Filled Thermometers cover?
The temperature range of the Red Spirit-Filled Thermometers (SLE/ME/37) is not listed on this page. Please tell us the range and scale your practicals need through our contact page, and we will confirm the matching thermometer in your quotation.
Who manufactures the Red Spirit-Filled Thermometers?
The Red Spirit-Filled Thermometers are manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), the OEM, at its own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. They are supplied factory-direct to schools, colleges, dealers and importers without a trading middleman.
Is a calibration certificate available for the Red Spirit-Filled Thermometers?
Calibration-certificate availability for the Red Spirit-Filled Thermometers should be discussed with us before you order. Mention the requirement in your enquiry and our team will confirm what documentation can be provided with the thermometers.
Can the Red Spirit-Filled Thermometers be ordered in bulk or for export?
Yes. The Red Spirit-Filled Thermometers can be quoted in class-set or bulk quantities for schools, dealers and importers in India and international markets. Send the quantity, the range you need and the delivery destination, and the quotation will come straight from the manufacturer.
To order Red Spirit-Filled Thermometers (SLE/ME/37), send your quantity and required range through our contact page, or add them to the enquiry cart with other laboratory items. Quotations come direct from the manufacturer in Ambala.
