Root Pressure Apparatus
Root Pressure Apparatus (Product Code: SCL226/035) is a borosilicate glass demonstration set used to show root pressure — the push that drives water from the roots into the cut stem of a well-watered plant — in school and college botany practicals. It lets students see this part of water transport directly rather than only reading about it. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India, as one of its biology teaching aids.

What Is the Root Pressure Apparatus Used For?
It is used to prove that roots can push water upward without help from the leaves. A soft-stemmed potted plant is watered well, and the stem is cut close to soil level. A glass tube is joined to the cut stump with rubber tubing, filled with a little water and clamped upright, and the starting level is marked. Over the following hours the water level rises as the roots push sap into the tube.
Make the joint airtight, keep the soil moist throughout and start the demonstration early in the day so the rise can be checked later the same day. Many teachers run it alongside a potometer so that pull from the leaves and push from the roots can be compared, and schools equipping a botany lab can order it directly from the manufacturer together with the rest of their plant physiology apparatus.
OEM Manufacturer
ScienceLab is the trading name of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, the OEM that makes this root pressure set at its own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. Because the glasswork comes from the manufacturer rather than a trader, schools, colleges, dealers and importers receive quotations straight from the source, and can ask us about replacement glass parts or repeat orders.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Root Pressure Apparatus made of?
The Root Pressure Apparatus is made of borosilicate glass, a heat- and chemical-resistant laboratory glass that stays clear, so students can follow the water column in the tube easily as it rises during the demonstration.
What exactly is supplied with the Root Pressure Apparatus?
The product data for the Root Pressure Apparatus states the material only. Please confirm the set contents through the contact page before ordering, so you know which accessories, such as rubber tubing or a stand, to add.
Which plant works best with the Root Pressure Apparatus?
A healthy, well-watered potted plant with a soft, herbaceous stem gives the clearest result with the Root Pressure Apparatus, because the fresh cut seals well and the roots push sap readily into the tube.
Why might the water level not rise?
If the level in the Root Pressure Apparatus does not rise, the usual causes are an air leak at the joint, dry soil or a woody stem. Reseal the connection, water the plant and try again with a fresh cut.
How should the Root Pressure Apparatus be cleaned?
Rinse the glass parts of the Root Pressure Apparatus with clean water after each demonstration, remove any plant sap before it dries, and let the pieces dry fully before storage to keep the glass clear.
Who manufactures the Root Pressure Apparatus?
The Root Pressure Apparatus is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), the OEM, at its own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. Quotations and repeat orders come directly from the manufacturer.
Can the Root Pressure Apparatus be ordered with other plant physiology apparatus?
Yes. List the Root Pressure Apparatus with all other items and quantities in one enquiry, together with your delivery location; ScienceLab supplies institutions in India and international markets.
