Basic Microscience Kit, Student (Product Code: SLE/CH/103) puts small-scale chemistry into each student's hands. It is built around the Comboplate, a development that inspired a family of physical apparatus giving students the opportunity to perform over a hundred chemical experiments that previously required macro-scale apparatus. The topics it supports run from chemical equilibrium and stoichiometry to rates of reaction, industrial pollution and the reactions of metals with salt solutions. Designed for individual use or small groups, it is a science kit for students in India and elsewhere who need regular hands-on practice. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala.

Key Details

Topics that may be covered with this kit:

• Chemical Equilibrium
• Acid Base Chemistry
• Enthalpy Changes
• Reactivity of Group 7 Elements
• Industrial Pollution
• Diffusion
• Solubility of Sulphates in Water
• Rates of Reaction
• Stoichiometry
• Reactions of Metals & Their Salt Solutions

Typical Use

The wells of a Comboplate act as a row of miniature test tubes and beakers, so a student can run a series of reactions side by side and compare them directly: a set of metals dropped into salt solutions to build a reactivity order, halide solutions mixed to show Group 7 displacement, or sulphate solutions combined to see which precipitate. Each test uses only drops of solution, which keeps reagent costs and waste low and makes it realistic to give every learner their own practical rather than a shared demonstration.

Plan the term's practicals from the topic list, hand out the matching worksheets, and collect the Comboplates for the dishwasher after class. Missing parts can be reordered one at a time. For a school science kit supplier in India, this is the entry-level set on which the wider microscience range is built.

Chemiluminescence in Blood Stain Detection (Product Code: SLE/CH/104) is a forensic chemistry demonstration kit used to show how luminol reveals hidden blood at a crime scene, in school and college science classes. Its special luminol formulation needs no separate hydrogen peroxide catalyst: re-hydrate it, use it with the simulated blood haemoglobin, and a faint glow appears once the lights are off. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, as a chemistry teaching kit for forensic science units.

Key Details

What Is the Chemiluminescence Blood Stain Detection Kit Used For?

It recreates a familiar investigation: crime scene officers have collected fingerprints, hair and fibres, yet no blood can be seen. Mark out a mock scene, apply the simulated blood haemoglobin where students cannot see it, re-hydrate the luminol and apply it as the manual describes, then darken the room completely. Afterwards, explain that luminol is oxidised in a reaction catalysed by the iron in haemoglobin, and that the energy released leaves the product molecule in an excited state that gives off light rather than heat.

Prepare the reagent shortly before the demonstration, keep everything else sealed until needed, and wear eye protection and gloves while handling it. The suggested activities let teachers extend the lesson into discussion of evidence, false positives and why forensic scientists confirm results with further tests, so this science kit with manual suits forensic and chemistry units in India and beyond.

Supplier

This demonstration kit is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, which trades as ScienceLab from Ambala, Haryana, India. The company sources forensic and chemistry teaching kits for schools, colleges and training centres, and can combine this one with other crime-scene activities in a single quotation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the Chemiluminescence in Blood Stain Detection kit use real blood?
No. The Chemiluminescence in Blood Stain Detection kit is designed to be used with simulated blood haemoglobin, so the class sees the luminol glow without anyone handling real blood.

Do I need to buy hydrogen peroxide separately?
No. The Chemiluminescence in Blood Stain Detection kit uses a special luminol formulation that does not require a separate hydrogen peroxide catalyst; you simply re-hydrate it and use it with the simulated blood haemoglobin.

How many demonstrations does one kit cover?
The Chemiluminescence in Blood Stain Detection kit contains enough material for several demonstrations. An exact number is not given in our product notes, so ask through our contact page if you need to plan a set number of classes.

How dark does the room need to be?
As dark as you can make it. The glow from the Chemiluminescence in Blood Stain Detection kit is faint, so close the blinds, switch off every light and give eyes a moment to adjust before applying the luminol.

What is the shelf life of the luminol kit?
The shelf life of the Chemiluminescence in Blood Stain Detection kit depends on the chemicals, their grade and storage conditions; ask us for the expiry date of the batch you are quoted, especially if you are ordering well ahead of the lesson.

Chemistry Demonstration Nylon 6-10 Rope Trick (Product Code: SLE/CH/105) is a polymer chemistry demonstration kit used to make nylon and draw it out as a continuous rope in school and college chemistry lessons. It contains sufficient reagents for five demonstrations, with instructions, and produces Nylon 6-10, a synthetic polymer of high molecular weight built from up to millions of repeated chemical units. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, alongside the reagents it offers as a lab chemicals supplier in India.

Key Details

What Is the Nylon 6-10 Rope Trick Used For?

It is a vivid way to show polymerisation happening in real time. In the classic rope trick, two reagent solutions that do not mix are layered carefully in a beaker, and a film of polymer forms where they meet. Grip the film at the centre with forceps, lift it slowly and wind it onto a glass rod: fresh nylon keeps forming at the boundary, so a long rope can be drawn out while the class watches.

The name itself is a teaching point, because in Nylon 6-10 one monomer contributes six carbon atoms and the other ten to each repeating unit, which links neatly to lessons on condensation polymers. Follow the included instructions for quantities and the order of addition, wear goggles and gloves, work in a well-ventilated room and rinse the rope thoroughly before anyone handles it. Building the repeating unit with an organic molecular model set afterwards helps students connect what they saw to the structure of the chain.

Supplier

The Nylon 6-10 Rope Trick kit is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, which trades as ScienceLab and is based in Ambala, Haryana, India. It is one of the demonstration reagent kits the company sources for schools and colleges, and it can be quoted with the beakers, forceps and goggles needed to run it. Our company profile has further details.

Related Laboratory Equipment

Apparatus and models used to run and explain the demonstration:

• Forceps (Tweezers) — for gripping the polymer film at the interface
• Stirring Rod, Glass — for winding up the nylon rope as it is drawn out
• Glass Beaker — the vessel in which the two solutions are layered
• Safety Goggles — eye protection for the demonstrator and nearby students
• Organic Chemistry Molecular Models Kits — to build the repeating unit and show how the chain grows

Find more kits and apparatus in our Chemistry Lab Equipment category.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many demonstrations can I run with the Nylon 6-10 Rope Trick kit?
The Chemistry Demonstration Nylon 6-10 Rope Trick kit contains sufficient reagents for five demonstrations, enough for a teacher to show the reaction to several classes or to repeat it when students revise polymers.

Are instructions provided?
Yes. Instructions are included with the Nylon 6-10 Rope Trick kit; follow them for the quantities of each solution and the order in which the layers are added, because careful layering is what lets the rope form cleanly.

What does "6-10" mean?
In the Nylon 6-10 Rope Trick, the name refers to the number of carbon atoms contributed by each of the two monomers that join to form the repeating unit of this nylon: six from one monomer and ten from the other.

Is it suitable for students to perform?
The Nylon 6-10 Rope Trick kit is designed as a demonstration. We recommend that a teacher runs it in a well-ventilated room, with students watching from a safe distance and everyone wearing eye protection.

What else do I need?
Apparatus such as a beaker, forceps and a glass rod is not listed as included with the Nylon 6-10 Rope Trick kit, so have these ready or order them together with the kit from the related items above.

What is the shelf life of the reagents?
The shelf life of the Nylon 6-10 Rope Trick kit depends on the chemicals, their grade and storage conditions; ask us for the expiry date of the batch you are quoted, and store the reagents as the instructions direct.

Who supplies the Nylon 6-10 Rope Trick kit?

Organic Chemistry Kit (Product Code: SLE/CH/106) is a compact set of apparatus for small-scale organic preparations and purifications, built around a 50 ml pear-shaped flask. With a still head, Liebig condenser, receiver adaptor, 50 ml dropping funnel and thermometer, students can assemble a simple distillation, add a reagent dropwise to a reaction, or set the condenser upright for heating under reflux, all from one kit. It is used in senior secondary and undergraduate organic chemistry practicals. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, for institutions looking for laboratory distillation apparatus in India and international markets.

Specifications

Typical Use

For a simple distillation, the pear-shaped flask is clamped over the heat source, the still head fitted on top with the thermometer held through the screwcap adaptor at the side-arm level, and the Liebig condenser connected to the side arm with the receiver adaptor directing distillate into a collecting vessel. For a preparation, the dropping funnel with its rotaflow tap sits on the flask so a reagent can be added a little at a time while the mixture is heated or stirred; the stopper closes any unused opening, and the air leak inlet provides a controlled gas or air entry point where a procedure calls for one.

Clamp both the flask and the condenser, run cooling water in at the lower end of the condenser and out at the upper end, add anti-bumping granules before heating, and never heat a completely closed system. Because the flask holds 50 ml, reagent quantities stay small, which suits college labs and schools working under budget or safety limits. Departments buying from a chemistry lab instruments supplier often pair the kit with stands and clamps so each bench is complete.

Manufacturer

This kit is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, operating as ScienceLab in Ambala, Haryana, India, a maker of apparatus for chemistry, physics and biology teaching labs. See the company profile for more.

Chromatography Paper No. 1 (Product Code: SLE/CH/107) is a pack of 100 sheets of No. 1 chromatography filter paper, each sheet measuring 200 x 200 mm and very thin. It is used in paper chromatography to separate a sample into its component parts, for example letting students split blended water-soluble inks into the original pigments to reveal their hidden colours. In wider laboratory work it helps test for the presence of various materials, monitor the rate and progress of a reaction, or determine the purity of a product. Suitable for school and college practicals and for experiments at home, it is a core consumable for any paper chromatography kit for school labs and is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala.

Specifications

Typical Use

Cut a sheet into strips, draw a baseline in pencil a short distance from one end, and spot each ink or sample on the line. Stand the strip in a beaker with the solvent level below the baseline and cover it; as the solvent climbs, each component travels a different distance, leaving a row of separate spots. Students can then compare spots with known references or measure how far each has moved relative to the solvent front.

Handle sheets by the edges, because skin oils can distort the solvent flow, and never mark the baseline in ink, which would itself separate. Because the paper absorbs liquid readily and spreads it across a large surface, it also dries quickly between runs. Keep the pack sealed and flat in a dry cupboard. Labs sourcing from a chemistry consumables supplier in India usually order it with chromatography pens and TLC plates to cover both paper and thin-layer methods.

Chromatography Pens, Black (Product Code: SLE/CH/108) are water-based black marker pens with a 1.7 mm tip, used to show students that a single “black” ink is really a blend of several coloured dyes. A line or dot of ink is placed on paper or card, water is allowed to creep up through it, and the hidden colours spread apart into separate bands. They are a simple consumable to keep alongside a chromatography kit for school labs in India and are supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India.

Specifications

Typical Use

In a standard paper chromatography practical, students draw a pencil baseline near the bottom of a paper strip (pencil graphite does not dissolve, so it will not run), mark a small dot of black ink on it, and stand the strip in a container with a shallow layer of water kept below the ink mark. As the water rises through the paper it carries each dye at a different rate, depending on how soluble the dye is and how strongly it clings to the paper fibres. After a few minutes the single black spot opens into a ladder of blues, purples, yellows or browns, which students can sketch, compare and use to work out R_f values.

Let each ink spot dry before developing so it does not smear, and keep the caps firmly on between classes so the tips stay moist. The same pens make a good starting point for a mini forensic exercise, where students compare the pattern from an unknown note with patterns from several pens. Schools that order from us as a chemistry consumables supplier in India usually request these pens together with chromatography paper so that every bench has matching materials.

Supplier

These pens are supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, the company that trades under the ScienceLab brand. It is based in Ambala, Haryana, where it manufactures laboratory apparatus and supplies teaching consumables to schools and colleges in India and international markets. More background is available on our company profile page.

Related Chemistry Lab Equipment

Items commonly used in the same ink chromatography practical:

• Chromatography Paper No. 1 — the paper on which the black ink spot is developed
• Chromatography Plates, TLC — thin-layer plates for comparing the same separation on a coated surface
• Forensic Chemistry of Chromatography (Document Analysis) — a forensic activity built around identifying inks
• Glass Beaker — holds the water in which the paper strip stands
• Filter Paper — an everyday paper for quick demonstration runs

See the complete Chemistry Lab Equipment range for more chromatography and general bench items.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many pens are in one order unit?
The pack quantity is not listed in our current product notes. Tell us how many pens you need through our contact page and the pack format will be confirmed in your quotation.

What solvent do I need to separate the ink?
Plain water normally works, because the ink is water-based. Some teachers repeat the run with a different solvent as an extension activity to show how the solvent changes the result.

Which paper should I use with these pens?
They are intended for paper and card. Chromatography paper gives the cleanest bands for measurement, while card is handy for display work where the separated colours are mounted on a wall chart.

Can I spot this ink onto TLC plates?
The pens are described for paper and card only. If you plan to use them on thin-layer plates, ask us to check suitability before you order.

How should the pens be stored between lessons?
Replace the cap straight after use and keep the pens away from direct heat, so the water-based ink does not dry out in the tip.

Do you supply schools in bulk and overseas?
Yes. Class sets and larger institutional orders can be arranged for buyers in India and international markets; share your quantity and destination and we will respond with availability.

What should I include in an institutional quotation request?
Mention the product code SLE/CH/108, the number of pens, your delivery address and any tender or purchase-order format your institution follows.

Chromatography Plates, TLC (Product Code: SLE/CH/109) are pre-coated thin-layer chromatography plates cut to 40 x 80 mm and packed 50 to a pack. Because the stationary layer is already applied, teachers and lab assistants can move straight to spotting and developing samples without preparing slurry-coated slides. The plates suit senior-school and college practicals on separating and identifying the components of coloured mixtures, and they are supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, a lab consumables supplier to institutions across India.

Specifications

Typical Use

A TLC run starts with a light pencil line drawn across the plate a short distance above its lower edge. Students apply tiny spots of each sample on this line with a fine capillary, allow them to dry, and then stand the plate in a covered jar or beaker containing a shallow pool of solvent that sits below the spots. The solvent rises through the coating by capillary action and carries each component a different distance. Once the front nears the top, the plate is removed, the solvent front is marked, and R_f values are calculated and compared with known references. Coloured substances such as inks and food dyes can be seen directly; colourless compounds may need a visualising method that suits the coating.

Compared with paper chromatography, thin-layer runs are quicker and usually give tighter, rounder spots, which makes them useful when a class has only one period for the whole practical. The compact 40 x 80 mm format fits small developing jars and leaves room for several side-by-side spots. Hold each plate by its edges, press gently with the pencil so the coating is not scraped, and keep solvent jars covered in a ventilated area. Plates like these are a routine reorder item for any chemistry lab equipment India schools maintain for analytical practicals.

Supplier

Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited trades as ScienceLab and operates from Ambala, Haryana. Alongside the laboratory apparatus it manufactures, the company supplies chromatography consumables such as these plates to schools, colleges and distributors. Our company profile gives an overview of the business.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many plates are in one pack, and what size are they?
Each pack holds 50 plates, and every plate measures 40 x 80 mm.

What is the coating and backing material?
The plates are pre-coated, but the layer type and backing are not stated in our current product notes. If your method depends on a particular layer, please confirm through our contact page before ordering.

Can the plates be cut into narrower strips?
Whether cutting is practical depends on the backing material, so ask us first; the 40 x 80 mm size is already small enough for most student developing jars.

Are solvents or a developing tank included?
No. This item covers the plates only; solvents, capillaries and a developing container are arranged separately.

How should unopened plates be stored?
Keep them flat in their pack, in a dry cupboard away from solvent fumes, because a coated layer can absorb moisture and contaminants that affect later results.

Can batch documentation be provided with the order?
Documentation requirements vary by institution, so please discuss what you need with our team when you request a quotation.

Is bulk supply available for colleges and export buyers?
Yes. Multiple packs can be supplied to institutions in India and international markets; include the number of packs and destination in your enquiry.
