The product listing names eleven slide subjects for this set of 12, so please confirm the complete slide list with us when you order.
Teachers usually start with the mixed bacteria slide to show the three basic shapes, then move to the Gram-positive and Gram-negative cocci and bacilli, where the two staining reactions appear in contrasting colours. Named species such as Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus megaterium and Escherichia coli let students link a name to a shape and a staining result.
The Rhizobium root nodule slide connects microbiology with nitrogen fixation in plants, and the Mycobacterium tuberculosis tissue slide shows how bacteria appear within host tissue. Because some samples need 1000x magnification, plan to use an oil-immersion objective with immersion oil, and wipe the oil off each slide after use.
ScienceLab is the trading name of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, based in Ambala, Haryana, India. The company supplies this bacteria slide set to schools, colleges, universities, microbiology teaching laboratories, dealers and importers in India and international markets, and can include microscopes and immersion oil in the same shipment.

Calorimeter Food (Product Code: SLE/BL/12) is a combustion calorimeter used to determine the energy value of food and fuels in school and college biology and chemistry laboratories. Teachers use it as a calorimeter experiment kit for nutrition and combustion lessons, built around a borosilicate glass vessel with a combustion chamber under a clear plastic lid with wire stirrer. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India.
| Parameter | Detail |
|---|---|
| Purpose | Determining the energy value of food and fuels |
| Vessel | Borosilicate glass vessel with a combustion chamber |
| Lid | Clear plastic lid with wire stirrer and a hole for a thermometer |
| Platform | Heat-resistant platform with support rod |
| Oxygen and ignition | Oxygen inlet tube and igniter coil mounting |
| Lead | 1 m insulated lead |
| Documentation | Supplied with instructions |
| Also required | Electrical supply, thermometer, oxygen supply and stand |
| Product code | SLE/BL/12 |
| Manufacturer | Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab) — OEM |
| Country of origin | India (made in Ambala, Haryana) |
A weighed sample of food is placed in the combustion chamber and a measured quantity of water is added to the vessel. The igniter coil lights the sample, oxygen is fed through the inlet tube so that it burns completely, and the heat released passes into the surrounding water while the wire stirrer keeps the temperature even. The thermometer reading before and after combustion gives the temperature rise; multiplying the mass of water by its specific heat capacity and by that rise, then dividing by the mass of sample burned, gives the energy value.
Because combustion takes place inside the water-filled vessel rather than under an open boiling tube, less heat escapes to the room than in the simple boiling-tube method. Students can compare fats, carbohydrates and proteins, or test fuels, and then discuss the remaining sources of error — a strong addition to school biology lab equipment in India for the nutrition topic. Keep oils and grease away from the oxygen supply, leave the gas and ignition to the teacher, and allow the glass vessel to cool before cleaning.
Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, trading as ScienceLab, is the OEM (original equipment manufacturer) of the Calorimeter Food and makes it at its own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. The company is a registered MSME whose Udyam registration (UDYAM-HR-01-0003714) lists manufacturing as its major activity, and its export consignments are shipped under IEC AAECJ8618A issued by the DGFT. Colleges, schools and dealers buy factory-direct, and questions about the igniter coil, lid or replacement glass vessels go straight to the maker — just ask us. Visit our company profile for more.
Items needed to set up and run the food calorimeter:
Browse the Biology Lab Equipment range for more physiology and nutrition apparatus.
What else do I need to use the Calorimeter Food?
The Calorimeter Food needs an electrical supply for the igniter, a thermometer, an oxygen supply and a stand, as these are listed as required alongside it. The thermometer passes through the hole in the clear plastic lid to read the water temperature.
What supply does the igniter coil of the Calorimeter Food need?
The supply rating for the igniter coil of the Calorimeter Food is not stated in our current details. Please contact us before choosing a power source, and we will confirm the connection for the 1 m insulated lead.
Is the Calorimeter Food vessel glass or metal?
The Calorimeter Food uses a borosilicate glass vessel containing a combustion chamber, closed by a clear plastic lid with a wire stirrer and a thermometer hole. The glass lets students watch the water and the burning sample throughout the experiment.
Can the Calorimeter Food test fuels as well as food?
Yes. The Calorimeter Food is designed to determine the energy value of both food and fuels, so the same apparatus serves nutrition lessons in biology and fuel-comparison work in chemistry, with the oxygen inlet tube helping each sample burn completely.
Are instructions provided with the Calorimeter Food?
Yes. The Calorimeter Food is supplied with instructions for its set-up and use. Teachers should still carry out a trial run before the class, particularly the ignition and oxygen supply steps, which should always remain teacher-operated.
Is a calibration certificate available for the Calorimeter Food?
Calibration-certificate availability for the Calorimeter Food should be discussed with us at the time of enquiry. Tell us what documentation your college or tender requires, and we will confirm what can accompany the units supplied.

Blow Pipe (Product Code: SLE/BL/13) is a nickel-plated brass laboratory blowpipe with a curved end, used to direct a fine, hot flame onto a sample on a charcoal block during dry tests in chemistry laboratories. School and college students use it for the charcoal block reduction tests of qualitative salt analysis and simple mineral identification. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India.
| Parameter | Detail |
|---|---|
| Type | Laboratory blowpipe |
| Material | Brass |
| Finish | Nickel plated |
| Tip | Curved end |
| Used with | Charcoal block |
| Product code | SLE/BL/13 |
| Manufacturer | Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab) — OEM |
| Country of origin | India (made in Ambala, Haryana) |
It is used for the charcoal block test. A little of the powdered salt, usually mixed with sodium carbonate, is placed in a small cavity cut in the block. The tip of the blowpipe is held at the edge of a luminous burner flame and the user blows gently and continuously, bending the flame onto the sample. Holding the tip just outside the flame gives a reducing flame, while pushing it slightly into the flame gives an oxidising flame; students then note any coating on the charcoal and whether a metallic bead forms.
Continuous blowing takes practice: breathe through the nose and use the cheeks as a reservoir so the flame stays steady. The curved end lets the flame be aimed downwards onto the block while the user keeps a comfortable distance, which is why the blowpipe remains standard chemistry lab equipment for school salt analysis. For hygiene, give each student their own blowpipe or wipe the mouthpiece with alcohol between users, and let the metal tip cool before putting it away.
ScienceLab is the trading name of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, the OEM (original equipment manufacturer) of this blow pipe. It is made at the company's own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India, rather than bought in from a trader, and goes factory-direct to schools, colleges, institutions, dealers and importers.
Because the maker handles every order itself, a repeat class set or a replacement for a lost or damaged pipe is simply a matter of asking us. Read more about the company on our company profile.
Items used with the blow pipe in dry tests:
See more items in the Chemistry Lab Equipment range.
What is the Blow Pipe made of?
The Blow Pipe (SLE/BL/13) is made of brass with a nickel-plated finish and has a curved end. The curve lets the user aim a fine flame down onto a sample resting on a charcoal block while keeping a comfortable working distance.
Is a charcoal block included with the Blow Pipe?
No charcoal block is listed as part of the Blow Pipe; our product details describe it as used with a charcoal block. Add the Charcoal Block to your enquiry separately, unless your quotation from ScienceLab states that blocks are included.
What length is the Blow Pipe?
The length of the Blow Pipe is not given in our current product details. If your practical manual or tender specifies a length, send it through our contact page and ScienceLab, as the manufacturer, will confirm what it can supply before quoting.
How is the Blow Pipe cleaned between students?

A comparison microscope brings two specimens into a single view so their features can be matched directly rather than from memory. In forensic science teaching, students set a questioned fibre beside a reference fibre, compare the colour and scale pattern of two hairs, or line up the striations left by a tool on two practice samples. The same approach helps in materials and textile classes where two samples must be judged against each other.
For a fair comparison, set both bodies to the same objective and match the top and bottom lighting with the intensity controls. Use the 2x macro objective and the black-and-white plate for larger items, and the 4x, 10x and 40x micro objectives with slides for fibres and hair. The LEDs give light with virtually no heat, so delicate samples are not warmed during long examinations.
The Forensic Comparison Microscope is supplied by ScienceLab, the trading name of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, Ambala, Haryana. Forensic science and criminology departments, police and investigation training academies, universities, dealers and importers in India and international markets can quote it with forensic practical kits and slides.

Clinostat (Electric) (Product Code: SLE/BL/14) is a motor-driven plant physiology instrument used to study geotropism and phototropism on seedlings, cut shoots and small potted plants in school and college botany labs. Seedlings pinned to its cork-faced disc turn slowly at 5 revolutions per hour on 220V, 50Hz mains, so gravity or light no longer acts from one fixed direction. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India.
| Parameter | Detail |
|---|---|
| Application | Geotropism and phototropism studies on seedlings, cut shoots and small potted plants |
| Specimen disc | Cork-lined/faced disc with a fitting to take a specimen tube; seedlings are pinned to the cork |
| Cork disc diameter | Listed as both 70 mm and 100 mm in our catalogue data; confirm at enquiry |
| Drive | Electric motor, 5 revolutions per hour |
| Angle adjustment | By thumb screw |
| Cover | Clear plastic cover |
| Power supply | 220V, 50Hz; complete with 3-core cable |
| Height | 300 mm |
| Product code | SLE/BL/14 |
| Manufacturer | Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab) — OEM |
| Country of origin | India (made in Ambala, Haryana) |
For a geotropism experiment, germinate seeds such as peas or beans on damp cotton until the roots and shoots are a few centimetres long, pin them to the cork disc and set the axis horizontal with the thumb screw. As the disc turns at 5 revolutions per hour, each seedling experiences gravity from every side in turn, so roots and shoots keep growing in the direction they were placed. A second set pinned to a stationary cork board shows the normal response, with roots curving down and shoots curving up, for direct comparison.
Phototropism is demonstrated the same way: a plant rotating beside a window grows straight, while a stationary control bends towards the light. The clear plastic cover helps hold humidity around the specimens during longer runs. As with any mains-powered botany lab equipment, connect the 3-core cable to an earthed socket, keep water away from the motor housing and switch off before repositioning seedlings.
Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, trading as ScienceLab, is the OEM (original equipment manufacturer) of this electric clinostat and builds it at its own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. Schools, colleges, universities, dealers and importers buy it factory-direct rather than through a trader. Questions about a spare cork disc, cover or repeat order are handled by the manufacturer itself; just ask us. Learn more on our company profile.

This clinostat is listed with other plant science apparatus in our Botany category.
What plant material can be mounted on the Clinostat (Electric)?
The Clinostat (Electric) takes seedlings, cut shoots and small potted plants. Seedlings are pinned to the cork-faced disc, and a fitting on the disc accepts a specimen tube, so both pinned and tube-held material can be rotated.
How fast does the Clinostat (Electric) rotate?
The motor of the Clinostat (Electric) turns the disc at 5 revolutions per hour, slow enough to avoid spinning effects while evening out the gravity or light stimulus acting on the seedlings over time.
What is the diameter of the cork disc?
Our catalogue data for the Clinostat (Electric) lists the cork disc as both 70 mm and 100 mm in diameter, so please confirm the disc size with us through the contact page before ordering if it matters for your specimens.
What power supply does the Clinostat (Electric) need?
The Clinostat (Electric) runs on 220V, 50Hz mains and comes complete with a 3-core cable. If your laboratory uses a different mains supply, raise it with us before ordering so the quotation matches your site.
Can the axis angle of the clinostat be changed?
Yes. On the Clinostat (Electric) a thumb screw adjusts the angle, so the disc can be set horizontally for geotropism work or at other angles for comparison runs, with the clear plastic cover protecting the specimens.
Who manufactures the Clinostat (Electric)?
Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab) is the OEM manufacturer of the Clinostat (Electric), building it at its own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India, and supplying schools, colleges and dealers directly.
Is a calibration certificate available for the Clinostat (Electric)?
The Clinostat (Electric) is a teaching instrument rather than a measuring device. If your institution needs any documentation, including a calibration certificate, discuss it with us at enquiry stage; quotations for India and international markets come direct from the manufacturer.
