What Is the Photosynthesis Apparatus Used For?

The apparatus turns the rate of photosynthesis into a number students can record. A freshly cut sprig of pondweed is placed in water in the apparatus and lit by a lamp; as the plant photosynthesises it gives off gas, which collects in the calibrated capillary tube where the length of the gas column is read over a fixed time. Repeating the reading with the lamp at different distances, or with the water at different temperatures, turns a simple observation into an investigation of limiting factors with results that can be graphed and compared between groups.

Once enough gas has collected, the plastic syringes let students draw it off so it can be analysed separately. For steadier data, allow the plant a few minutes to settle under each new condition before timing, keep the water temperature constant when light is the variable, and use a stem with a freshly cut end. As a piece of plant biology lab equipment it suits both class practicals and coursework investigations.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the Photosynthesis Apparatus measure?
The Photosynthesis Apparatus measures the gas evolved by aquatic plants during photosynthesis. The gas collects in a calibrated capillary tube, where students read its volume, so the rate of gas production can be compared under different light or temperature conditions.

What are the plastic syringes on the Photosynthesis Apparatus for?
The plastic syringes on the Photosynthesis Apparatus are used to draw off the gas collected from the aquatic plant, so that it can be taken out of the capillary tube and analysed separately by the students.

Are a plant and a lamp included with the Photosynthesis Apparatus?
No plant material or light source is listed with the Photosynthesis Apparatus. Schools normally use a common aquatic plant such as pondweed and a bench lamp; mention any accessories you need on the contact page and we will advise.

How big is the Photosynthesis Apparatus?
The Photosynthesis Apparatus is mounted on a plastic panel measuring 190mm x 150mm, about 19 cm by 15 cm, so it sits comfortably on a student bench and several units can run side by side in one practical.

What are the capillary graduations, and is a calibration certificate available?
The graduation interval of the Photosynthesis Apparatus capillary tube is not stated in our listing, and calibration certificate availability should be discussed with us before ordering. Please ask through the contact page and we will confirm.

  • Lanolin
  • Gibberellic acid
  • Sucrose
  • 0.1% IAA in lanolin paste
  • Coumarin

  • 0.01% IAA in lanolin paste
  • Thiourea
  • 2,4-D
  • Ethrel ‘e’
  • Tetrazolium chloride
  • Agar

What Is the Plant Hormones Set Used For?

Each group of chemicals supports a different investigation. Gibberellic acid and thiourea are widely used to break seed dormancy, while coumarin acts as a germination inhibitor for comparison; seeds can be set on agar prepared with the culture medium and sucrose so that germination is easy to observe. The IAA pastes in lanolin, at 0.1% and 0.01%, and N.A.A. are auxins that students apply to cuttings to encourage root formation, or smear on a leaf stalk to show how auxin delays leaf fall.

2,4-D is a synthetic auxin used as a selective weedkiller, which makes the killing-weeds experiment a direct link to agriculture, and Ethrel releases ethylene, the hormone behind ripening and leaf drop. Tetrazolium chloride turns living seed tissue red, so students can check seed viability before a germination trial.

As a biology experiment kit for students, the set is easiest to run when teachers prepare dilutions in advance and give each group a clear control. Wear gloves and eye protection, label every container, keep the chemicals away from food areas and store them tightly closed in a cool, dry, dark cupboard.

Potometer Apparatus

Product Code : SLE/EBT/21

Potometer Apparatus (Product Code: SLE/EBT/21) is a low-breakage student potometer used to measure transpiration in small plant shoots during school and college biology practicals. Its only glass component is the capillary tube, mounted on a strong backing plate, and a syringe zeros the scale between readings. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India, as a transpiration experiment kit that groups can use with minimal risk of breakage.

Product codeSLE/EBT/21
ManufacturerJain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab) — OEM
Country of originIndia (made in Ambala, Haryana)

What Is the Potometer Used For?

Teachers use this potometer to show that leaves lose water continuously and that the rate changes with the surroundings. A typical practical compares how far the bubble travels in a fixed time with the shoot in still air, beside a fan, in bright light and in shade, so students can link wind, light and humidity to the rate of water loss. Because the apparatus is assembled under water, air is kept out of the system, and the syringe brings the bubble back to zero between runs without dismantling anything.

For reliable results, cut the shoot under water so that air does not enter the stem, fit it firmly before lifting the apparatus out, and blot the leaves dry before taking readings. Strictly, a potometer measures the water taken up by the shoot; this closely follows transpiration because most absorbed water leaves through the leaves — a useful discussion point for older students. With a porous pot connected in place of the shoot, the same unit can be used to compare humidity.

What to Specify When Ordering

  • The number of potometers needed, usually one per student group.
  • Whether you plan humidity measurements, so we can confirm whether a porous pot is included or should be added.
  • Whether a teacher-demonstration model such as the Ganong’s potometer is also required.
  • The delivery location and any tender or purchase-order format you use.

OEM Manufacturer

Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, trading as ScienceLab, is the OEM (original equipment manufacturer) of this Potometer Apparatus. The potometer is produced at the company’s own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India, and goes factory-direct to schools, colleges, dealers and importers, so there is no trader between the buyer and the maker.

If a capillary tube or syringe needs replacing after years of class use, ask us — spares and repeat orders are dealt with by the manufacturer itself. Background on the business is on our company profile.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the Potometer Apparatus measure?
The Potometer Apparatus measures how quickly a small plant shoot takes up water, shown by a bubble moving along the capillary tube. Since most absorbed water is lost from the leaves, this rate is used in class as a practical measure of transpiration.

Why is the Potometer Apparatus described as low-breakage?
The Potometer Apparatus has only one glass part, the capillary tube, and it is mounted on a strong backing plate. That leaves far less fragile glassware to damage in student hands, although the capillary itself should still be handled with care.

How is the reading reset between trials on the Potometer Apparatus?
On the Potometer Apparatus a syringe is used to bring the bubble back to zero on the scale. The shoot stays in place, so repeated readings under different conditions such as light, shade or moving air can be taken quickly.

Can the Potometer Apparatus measure anything besides transpiration?
Yes. The Potometer Apparatus can also be used to measure humidity by connecting a porous pot. Please ask on the contact page whether a porous pot is included with your order or should be added to the quotation.

Who manufactures the Potometer Apparatus?
The Potometer Apparatus is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), the OEM, at its own factory in Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. Buyers deal directly with the maker for quotations, class sets and replacement parts.

Is a calibration certificate available for the Potometer Apparatus?

Potometer Apparatus (Ganong's)

Product Code : SLE/EBT/22

Potometer Apparatus (Ganong's) (Product Code: SLE/EBT/22) is a Ganong-pattern potometer used to demonstrate transpiration rates and the rate of water absorption by a cut shoot under various external conditions in school and college botany laboratories. Its 1mm capillary bore and glass stopcock reservoir let a teacher reset the air bubble and compare several conditions with the same shoot, which makes it dependable plant biology lab equipment for comparative work. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India.

MountingVarnished wooden base, apparatus held by spring clips
Product codeSLE/EBT/22
ManufacturerJain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab) — OEM
Country of originIndia (made in Ambala, Haryana)

What Is the Ganong's Potometer Used For?

The Ganong design is usually set up by the teacher at the front bench, where one shoot can be taken through a sequence of conditions in a single lesson – still room air, then moving air from a fan, then a darkened box, or leaves smeared with petroleum jelly on one surface to show where water is lost. Between stages, opening the glass stopcock lets water in from the reservoir and pushes the air bubble back along the capillary, so the class sees a fresh run without the shoot being disturbed. That makes it a practical transpiration experiment for India's school and college syllabuses, where comparing conditions matters more than a single reading.

Because the capillary bore is 1mm, students can go beyond distance-per-minute and estimate the volume of water taken up, using the cross-sectional area of the bore multiplied by the distance the bubble moves. For a good seal, cut the shoot under water, push it into the stopper while still submerged, and check that no bubbles appear at the joint. Keep the open end of the capillary under the water surface in the beaker throughout, otherwise air enters and the run must be restarted.

OEM Manufacturer

Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, which trades as ScienceLab, is the OEM (original equipment manufacturer) of this Ganong's potometer. The apparatus is made and assembled at the company's own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India, rather than bought in from a trader, and it is supplied factory-direct to schools, colleges, university botany departments, dealers and importers in India and international markets.

Because the maker handles enquiries itself, quotations, repeat orders for additional lab sets and questions about replacement glass parts come straight to the manufacturer – just ask us. Read more on the company profile page.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is the Potometer Apparatus (Ganong's) different from the standard Potometer Apparatus?
The Potometer Apparatus (Ganong's) has a reservoir with a glass stopcock for resetting the air bubble and sits on a varnished wooden base with spring clips, suiting front-bench demonstrations. The standard Potometer Apparatus has only one glass component, the capillary tube, on a strong backing plate for student groups.

What is the capillary bore of the Potometer Apparatus (Ganong's)?
The Potometer Apparatus (Ganong's) has a 1mm capillary bore. Knowing the bore lets students convert the distance the air bubble travels into an approximate volume of water absorbed by the shoot, turning a simple observation into a quantitative transpiration result.

How do I reset the air bubble on a Ganong's potometer?
On the Potometer Apparatus (Ganong's), open the glass stopcock briefly to admit water from the reservoir; the air bubble moves back along the capillary. Close the stopcock again and restart timing, so the same shoot can be tested under the next condition without being disturbed.

Is a beaker supplied with the Potometer Apparatus (Ganong's)?
The Potometer Apparatus (Ganong's) is used with a beaker of water, but a beaker is not listed as part of the apparatus. A suitable Glass Beaker can be added to the same order; contact us to confirm exactly what is included.

Who manufactures the Potometer Apparatus (Ganong's)?
The Potometer Apparatus (Ganong's) is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), the OEM, at its own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. Schools, dealers and importers buy it factory-direct, with quotations and repeat orders handled by the maker.

How should a Ganong's potometer be cleaned and stored?

Sach's Water Culture Mineral Deficiency

Product Code : SLE/EBT/23

Sach's Water Culture Mineral Deficiency (Product Code: SLE/EBT/23) is a set of eight tubes of culture material used to grow plants in liquid media that each lack one mineral element, so students can compare deficiency symptoms against a complete-medium control in botany practicals. Each tube holds sufficient material to prepare four litres of liquid medium, which makes the set a ready plant growth experiment kit for senior school and college mineral-nutrition lessons. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India.

Contents of the set:

  • Complete medium (control)
  • Medium lacking phosphorus
  • Medium lacking nitrogen
  • Medium lacking calcium
  • Medium lacking potassium
  • Medium lacking magnesium
  • Medium lacking iron
  • Medium lacking sulphur

What Is the Sach's Water Culture Set Used For?

Each tube is dissolved in water to make its own culture solution, and the eight solutions are placed in separate, clearly labelled culture vessels. Seedlings of a fast-growing species are supported so that their roots hang in the solution, and the vessels are kept side by side under the same light and temperature. Over the following weeks students record height, leaf colour, leaf size and root growth, then compare each deficient plant with the complete-medium control. Typical observations include yellowing of older leaves where nitrogen is missing and pale young leaves where iron is missing.

For clearer results, cover the culture vessels to keep light off the roots and reduce algal growth, top up with water as it evaporates, and aerate the solutions gently if possible. Running the practical as a whole-class project, with one group responsible for each medium, turns the set into shared plant biology lab equipment for a full unit on mineral nutrition.

Supplier

Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited trades as ScienceLab from Ambala, Haryana, India, and supplies this water-culture set to schools, colleges and distributors in India and international markets. It can be quoted together with the glassware and growing trays the experiment needs, so a department receives everything for the practical in one consignment.

Shelf lifeDepends on the chemical, its grade and storage conditions; ask us for the expiry date of the batch you are quoted
Product codeSLE/CH/101
Supplied byJain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India

What Is the Acids, Bases and pH Scale Kit Used For?

The lesson builds in three steps. Groups first record the colour each indicator shows in known acids and bases, then apply those indicators to everyday household materials to place them on the pH scale, and finally combine their observations to deduce what each of the four unknown solutions is. Because the unknowns are clear, students cannot guess by appearance and must rely on evidence, so the final task is a good check of understanding.

Photocopy the student masters before class, set out one station per group, and make sure everyone wears eye protection when acids and bases are on the bench. To extend the lesson, add pH indicator paper or a pH meter so groups can compare indicator colours with a measured value. Departments that order from a lab chemicals supplier in India can list this kit with their other acid–base consumables so the practical is ready each term.

Supplier

This activity kit is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, which trades as ScienceLab and is based in Ambala, Haryana, India. The company sources and supplies teaching kits, reagents and consumables for schools, colleges and distributors, so the kit can be quoted together with indicator paper, pH meters and dropper bottles on one order.

Typical Use

Schools usually issue one kit per student or per pair so each learner assembles and uses the apparatus personally rather than watching a demonstration. Working at small scale means reactions are set up quickly on the bench, smaller quantities of reagents are consumed, and there is less waste to dispose of, so more practical sessions fit into a term. Because the kit supplies the hardware behind the basic-kit experiments, teachers can plan a sequence of practicals knowing the apparatus is already on hand.

At the end of each session, Comboplates can go through a dishwasher and the other washable parts can be rinsed and dried before being packed back. Any lost or broken item can be bought individually rather than replacing the whole kit. Departments building a STEM science kit collection in India can combine it with other microscience sets for physics and water-quality work.
