Lancet 2.4 mm Disposable (Product Code: SLE/CL/01) is a single-use safety lancet used to puncture the skin for capillary blood collection in clinical, diagnostic and teaching laboratories. Its instant trigger launches a spring-based blade to a depth of approximately 2.4mm, a built-in mechanism prevents reuse, and it is listed for laboratory services from basic laboratories to reference centres. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, as part of its disposable lab equipment range in India.

Specifications

What Is the 2.4 mm Disposable Lancet Used For?

Capillary sampling is used wherever only a few drops of blood are needed, for example point-of-care haemoglobin or glucose checks, blood grouping practicals, rapid tests and dried blood spot cards. The operator cleans and dries the fingertip, presses the lancet firmly against the side of the finger pad and triggers it; the blade fires and retracts in one movement. The first drop is usually wiped away and the following drops are collected into a capillary tube, microcuvette or onto a test card.

Wear gloves throughout, and drop each used lancet straight into a puncture-resistant sharps container rather than setting it down on the bench. Colleges buying lab equipment for college practicals in India, such as medical laboratory technology and nursing programmes, often keep lancets, capillary tubes and sharps bins together in one tray so students follow the full sampling routine.

Supplier

Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, an Ambala, Haryana company that trades as ScienceLab, supplies this single-use lancet to hospital laboratories, clinics, health programmes and training institutes as part of its clinical consumables range. Company details are on the ScienceLab profile.

Pipette Tip White 2-20 ul (Product Code: SLE/CL/02) is a white polypropylene disposable tip for dispensing small liquid volumes from 2 to 20ul on standard automatic pipettes. Fitting a fresh tip for every sample keeps the pipette shaft clean and helps avoid carry-over contamination between specimens, reagents and controls. The tips are supplied as a rack of 960 for reference centres and laboratories running sophisticated techniques, and they reach buyers through Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, a lab plastic ware supplier in India.

Specifications

Typical Use

The 2 to 20ul range covers the small additions made constantly in clinical and molecular work: adding sample to reaction wells, spotting controls, dispensing enzymes or primers and preparing serial dilutions at the low end of the scale. Set the pipette volume, press the shaft firmly into a tip in the rack so it seals evenly, pre-wet the tip once with the liquid for better accuracy, then aspirate slowly at a shallow depth and dispense against the vessel wall. Eject the tip directly into a waste container before moving to the next sample.

Keep racks closed until use and handle tips only with the pipette, not with fingers, to maintain cleanliness. Groups buying lab equipment for research in India often stock these general-purpose white tips for routine steps and keep filter tips for aerosol-sensitive work such as PCR set-up.

Supplier

ScienceLab is the trading name under which Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, Ambala, Haryana, supplies these pipette tips alongside the laboratory apparatus it produces. Institutions completing vendor registration can use GSTIN 06AAECJ8618A1ZT and LEI 3358004HRD1JIVXKYX49. Read the company profile for more background.

Pipette Tip Barrier Ster 200ul (Product Code: SLE/CL/03) is a sterile filter tip for volumes up to 200ul, moulded in transparent polypropylene with a built-in aerosol barrier. The filter stops aerosols and splashes from reaching the pipette shaft, protecting both the sample and the instrument, which is why these tips are chosen for PCR techniques and other nucleic-acid work in reference centres. They are RNase and DNase free, packed as a rack of 960, and supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, for laboratories equipping PCR workstations and PCR equipment in India and abroad.

Specifications

Typical Use

In PCR, a trace of amplified DNA carried on an aerosol into the pipette barrel can contaminate every reaction prepared afterwards. Barrier tips reduce that risk, so they are used for master-mix preparation, adding template DNA or RNA, pipetting extracted nucleic acids and handling potentially infectious liquids. The transparent body lets the operator see the liquid level and spot bubbles before dispensing, and a sterile, nuclease-free tip means the tip itself will not degrade sensitive RNA samples.

Open the rack only inside the clean area of the workflow, change gloves between pre- and post-amplification zones, and never let liquid touch the filter; if it does, discard the tip. Molecular labs assembling microbiology lab equipment in India usually keep separate tip racks and pipettes for each zone to avoid cross-contamination.

Supplier

These sterile barrier tips are supplied by ScienceLab, the brand of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited based in Ambala, Haryana. Besides producing laboratory apparatus, the company sources consumables so that molecular and clinical labs can order tips, tubes and plates together. Learn more on the ScienceLab company profile.

Envelope 27x36 cm (Product Code: SLE/CL/04) is a strong paper envelope of approximately 27x36cm with a water-resistant lining on the inside. The combination of a tough outer paper and a moisture-resistant inner layer helps protect paperwork, cards and bagged items from damp and handling while they are stored or sent between laboratory sections, clinics and referral sites. It is used across laboratory services from basic laboratories to reference centres and is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, a laboratory equipment supplier in India.

Specifications

Typical Use

Laboratories handle a steady flow of paper: request forms, result sheets, logbooks, quality-control records and filter-paper cards that must travel with samples or be archived. An envelope of this size takes standard A4 paperwork without folding, and its water-resistant lining gives extra protection against spills, condensation from cold boxes and humid transport conditions. Many sites place dried sample cards in a sealed plastic bag first and then slip the bag into the envelope with the accompanying forms, so everything for one batch stays together.

Write the destination, sender and batch details on the outside with a permanent marker before filling, and seal the envelope fully. Note that a lined paper envelope is not a leak-proof container for liquid specimens; those need dedicated sample transport packaging. Buying envelopes from the same lab consumables supplier in India that provides your tubes, bags and cards makes restocking simpler.

Supplier

Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited supplies this envelope under its ScienceLab name from Ambala, Haryana, as one of the stationery-type consumables it offers to clinical and teaching laboratories next to its own apparatus. You can read about the company on the ScienceLab profile.

Related Clinical Laboratory Items

Items commonly packed and sent together with lined envelopes:

• Dry Blood Spot Paper — filter-paper cards that are often dispatched in envelopes once dry
• Rack Drying DBS Cards — for drying cards completely before packing
• Bag Resealable Small Plastic — an inner sealed bag for cards or small items
• Box Infectious Sample Transportation — the right packaging when liquid or infectious samples must travel

See the complete Clinical Laboratory range for sample handling supplies.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size is the envelope?
Approximately 27x36cm, which holds A4 documents flat.

Is the envelope waterproof?
It has a water-resistant inner lining and a strong paper outer. It resists damp and minor spills, but it should not be treated as a sealed, waterproof container.

Can liquid specimens be sent in it?
No. Liquid or infectious specimens need leak-proof, purpose-made transport packaging; use the envelope for documents, cards and dry, bagged items.

Box Storage tubes Set of 14 (Product Code: SLE/CL/05) is a set of plastic tube storage boxes for cryopreservation, each built as a rack with a matching lid that fits together to form a closed box with positions for 100 test tubes. The chemical-resistant plastic is made to withstand ultra-freezing, so samples can be organised on the bench and then transferred straight into cold storage. These boxes are used mainly at tertiary and reference facilities (laboratory network levels III-IV) and are made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, a laboratory equipment manufacturer in India.

Specifications

Typical Use

Serum, plasma, isolates and extracted nucleic acids are often kept frozen for repeat testing, external quality assessment or research. Tubes are loaded into the open rack while aliquoting, the lid is fitted to close the box, and the whole unit goes into a laboratory deep freezer in India or abroad. Recording the row and column position of each tube in a sample register lets staff find a single tube quickly without holding the box out of the freezer for long.

Label every tube with a freezer-grade label before freezing, as ordinary labels can peel at very low temperatures. Allow frozen boxes to stand briefly before opening so frost does not fall into open tubes, and wipe racks with a suitable laboratory disinfectant between uses. Keeping each box to a single project or sample type makes inventory checks much easier.

Manufacturer

These storage boxes come from Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, whose laboratory and educational products are marketed under the ScienceLab name from Ambala, Haryana. Clinical and reference laboratories can source storage labware together with tubes, racks and instruments from the same company. The company profile has further details.

Transfer Pipette Sterile (Product Code: SLE/CL/08) is a single-use plastic transfer pipette with an integrated flexible suction bulb and a fine tip, used to move liquids between tubes and vessels without a separate pipette filler. Every pipette is sterile and individually peel-packed, so each sample or reagent can be handled with a fresh, untouched device — the reason it is used in reference centres and for PCR and other sophisticated techniques. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, for laboratories that want a dependable lab consumables supplier in India for their clinical range.

Specifications

Typical Use

In a molecular or clinical laboratory this pipette handles the routine transfers that do not need a micropipette: moving a buffer into a tube, drawing off a supernatant, adding rinse liquid or carrying a sample from a collection container to a processing tube ahead of a PCR run. Squeeze the bulb before the fine tip enters the liquid, release it slowly to draw up the volume, check the level against the embossed 0.25 ml marks and then dispense gently against the wall of the receiving vessel to avoid splashing.

Open each peel pack only at the bench, hold the pipette by the bulb end and never let the tip touch gloves or bench surfaces. The embossed marks give approximate volumes, so keep a calibrated micropipette with barrier tips for exact microlitre steps and use this pipette for the larger transfers around them. Laboratories standardising their disposable lab equipment in India often order it together with tips, tube racks and waste bags so that one bench is stocked for the whole workflow.

Supplier

ScienceLab is the trading name of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, a company based in Ambala, Haryana, that supplies sterile consumables such as this pipette alongside the laboratory apparatus it builds for clinical, school and college laboratories. You can read about the company's background and product range on our company profile.

Related Clinical Laboratory Products

Items used in the same sample-handling and PCR preparation workflow:

• Transfer Pipette, 1ml — a smaller transfer pipette for low-volume steps
• Transfer Pipette, 3ml — a mid-size option when the full capacity of this pipette is not needed
• Pipette Tip Barrier Ster 200ul — sterile barrier tips for precise micropipette dispensing during PCR set-up
• Rack Tubes Set of 3 — keeps microcentrifuge and storage tubes upright while you transfer liquid
• Biohazard Bag — for collecting used pipettes after potentially infectious work

See the complete Clinical Laboratory range for more consumables and equipment supplied to diagnostic, hospital and teaching laboratories in India and international markets.

Frequently Asked Questions

What volume does this transfer pipette hold?
Its capacity is 5.8 ml. The embossed scale has a minimal graduation of 0.25 ml, which is intended for approximate measurement rather than exact dosing.

Is every pipette sterile?
Yes. Each pipette is sterile and individually peel-packed, so sterility is kept until you open that one pack at the bench.

Can it be used in PCR work?
Yes — the fine tip is compatible with PCR applications and the product is intended for PCR and sophisticated techniques. For exact microlitre volumes, pair it with a calibrated micropipette and barrier tips.

Can the pipette be washed and reused?
No. It is a single-use disposable item; reusing it would remove the benefit of sterile packing and risk carry-over between samples.

How many pipettes come in one order unit?
The pack quantity per order unit is confirmed at quotation stage. Please ask through our contact page so we can quote the exact count.

Can you provide lot or sterility documentation?
Whether batch documentation can be provided for a particular order should be discussed with us before you place it — send the requirement via the contact page.

Do you supply larger quantities for hospitals and distributors?
Yes. Hospital laboratories, reference centres and distributors in India and international markets can request bulk supply; include your annual or per-order quantity and destination in the enquiry.
