Forensic Chemistry of Blood Types (Product Code: SLE/CH/134) is a forensic science activity kit used to determine blood types from simulated samples and weigh them as evidence in a mock criminal investigation, in school and college classrooms. It uses Innovating Science Simulated Blood, which is safe for classroom use, and holds enough material for 15 groups. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, as a biology experiment kit for students that doubles as a chemistry and forensics lesson.

Key Details

What Is the Forensic Blood Types Kit Used For?

Blood typing classifies blood by the presence or absence of specific antigens on the surface of red blood cells (erythrocytes). Because blood type is inherited, it matters for surgery, transfusions and paternity testing as well as for crime-scene work. In a typical session each group determines blood types from the simulated samples, records the results on the analysis sheets and then discusses whether those results support, or eliminate, a possible suspect’s involvement in a crime.

The key teaching point is that a blood type narrows the field rather than naming one person, which leads naturally into why investigators combine several lines of evidence. No real blood is involved, but students should still wear gloves and goggles, keep samples away from their mouths and clean the bench afterwards. Schools placing a science kit bulk order in India often buy this alongside other forensic activities to build a full crime-scene unit.

Forensic Chemistry of Chromatography (Document Analysis) (Product Code: SLE/CH/135) is a crime-solving activity in which students use thin-layer chromatography (TLC) to compare the ink on a ransom note with ink from markers tied to possible suspects. The storyline is simple and engaging: the school library’s computers have been stolen, and the thief left behind a note demanding money. Supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, with enough material for 15 groups, it is a chromatography kit for schools in India that wraps separation science inside a mystery students want to solve.

Key Details

Typical Use

Students place small spots of ink from the ransom note and from each suspect marker along a pencil baseline on the TLC plate, then stand the plate in a shallow layer of solvent. As the solvent climbs, the dyes that make up each ink travel different distances and separate into bands. Matching band patterns and positions suggests that the note could have been written with a particular marker, while a clear mismatch helps rule a marker out – exactly the kind of evidence a document examiner provides.

For clean results, keep the spots small, make sure the baseline sits above the solvent level, cover the developing container and mark the solvent front as soon as the plate is removed. Students can then calculate retention factors to compare inks numerically. Because the case ends with each group presenting its conclusion, the activity also works well as a science fair project kit in India or as the centrepiece of a forensic science week.

Supplier

This activity is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, which trades as ScienceLab from Ambala, Haryana, India. Buyers completing vendor registration can use the company's GSTIN 06AAECJ8618A1ZT; it also holds DGFT Importer-Exporter Code AAECJ8618A for international consignments.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which separation technique does the activity use?
Thin-Layer Chromatography, used to separate the ink on the ransom note and the ink in markers linked to suspects.

How many groups can work at once?
There is enough material for 15 groups.

Does a matching ink pattern prove who wrote the note?
Not on its own. It can provide evidence that the note could, or could not, have been written with a particular marker, which students then weigh alongside the rest of the case.

What else might we need to run it?
The full component list is not shown on this page. Ask through our contact page and we will confirm what is supplied and what your laboratory should provide, such as containers for developing the plates.

Why TLC rather than paper chromatography?
TLC usually gives quicker and sharper separations, so a class can complete the analysis within a single practical period. Paper chromatography makes a useful comparison exercise afterwards.

Are teacher notes included?
Yes, a Teacher’s Manual and Student Guide and Analysis copy-masters are included.

How do I request a quotation for several schools?

Forensic Chemistry of Drug Detection (Product Code: SLE/CH/136) casts students as forensic toxicologists. Everyone who ate the school cafeteria’s chilli became ill, and aspirin appears to have been stolen from the nurse’s office – so could one of the cafeteria ingredients have been swapped for it? Groups answer the question with a series of chemical tests, including tests on control aspirin. With enough material for 15 groups, it is a science kit for students in India that teaches controls, evidence and careful reasoning, supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India.

Key Details

Typical Use

The investigation is built on the idea of a control. Students first run each test on the known aspirin sample to see what a positive result looks like, then repeat the same tests on every cafeteria ingredient. Any ingredient that responds like the control becomes a suspect substitution; any that does not can be cleared. Writing up the findings on the analysis sheets teaches students to separate observations from conclusions, just as a toxicologist’s report must.

Because the storyline involves food and a medicine, set a firm rule before starting: nothing on the bench is tasted, and every sample is handled with a clean spatula or dropper to prevent cross-contamination. Goggles should be worn throughout. Teachers can extend the lesson by explaining that real forensic laboratories follow quick screening tests with confirmatory instrumental analysis, which makes this a thought-provoking chemistry experiment kit for India’s senior secondary classes.

Supplier

This drug-detection activity is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, which trades as ScienceLab and is based in Ambala, Haryana, India, supplying schools and colleges with kits and laboratory apparatus. Read more in our company profile.

• Micro Test Plates — handy for running small-scale spot tests side by side
• Safety Goggles — eye protection during chemical testing
• Forensic Science Lab Investigation — a broader forensic investigation for the same unit

More kits are listed in Chemistry Lab Equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the case students have to solve?
Everyone who ate the cafeteria’s chilli became ill. Students must decide whether any ingredient could have been substituted with aspirin taken from the nurse’s office.

Why do students test control aspirin?
The control shows what a positive result looks like, giving a reliable reference against which every ingredient is judged.

How many groups does one kit serve?
There is enough material for 15 groups.

Is it appropriate for a school laboratory?
Yes, with standard precautions: goggles, supervision and a strict no-tasting rule, since the scenario involves food and a medicine.

Forensic Chemistry of Dusting for Fingerprints (Product Code: SLE/CH/137) is a forensic science kit that teaches students to identify and classify different types of fingerprints, recognise their distinguishing characteristics and reveal hidden prints by dusting – the oldest and most commonly used method of fingerprint detection. It contains enough material for 15 groups, including 15 fingerprinting brushes and 15 hand magnifiers so that every group has its own tools. Supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, it is a STEM science kit in India that brings crime-scene methods into the classroom.

Key Details

Kit includes:

• 1 bottle Fingerprinting Powder
• Ink Pad
• Acetate Sheets
• 15 Fingerprinting Brushes
• 15 Hand Magnifiers

Typical Use

The lesson usually runs in two parts. First, students roll their own fingertips on the ink pad, study the prints with a hand magnifier and sort them into the main pattern families – loops, whorls and arches – before looking for finer ridge details such as endings and forks. Next, they leave latent prints on a smooth surface, dust them lightly with the brush and powder until the ridges appear, and keep the developed prints on acetate sheets for side-by-side comparison with their inked records.

Use very little powder and a light, twirling brush stroke, and tap off any excess rather than rubbing, or the ridge detail will smear. Work over scrap paper, keep the powder away from faces and have students wash their hands afterwards. With fixed contents per group, the kit is also straightforward to specify when a school prepares a science kit tender in India for its forensic or general science laboratory.

Supplier

Forensic Chemistry of Dusting for Fingerprints is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, trading as ScienceLab and based in Ambala, Haryana, India. The company provides practical kits, apparatus and consumables to schools and colleges – our company profile explains more.

Forensic Science Lab Investigation (Product Code: SLE/CH/138) is a classroom crime-scene activity in which the whole class becomes the team of lead investigators on a murder mystery and experiences many aspects of how a forensic laboratory works. Students collect the evidence themselves, then analyse it with a combination of forensic tools — fibre and soil composition analysis, density analysis, insect identification and chemical analysis — before using their results to solve the case. The kit contains materials for up to 40 students, which makes it a practical choice for teachers looking for a chemistry experiment kit in India that ties several lab skills to one story. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala.

Specifications

Typical Use

Most teachers open the case with a short briefing on the scenario and then split the class into evidence teams. One team compares fibres, another looks at soil composition, others carry out density measurements, identify insects or run the chemical tests. Because students gather the evidence before they analyse it, the activity builds habits that matter in any laboratory: careful handling, clear labelling and honest recording of what was actually observed. The investigation closes with each team presenting its findings and the class deciding which conclusion the combined evidence really supports.

The kit suits a forensic science unit, a cross-curricular project week or an after-school science club, and it fits well in schools planning school chemistry lab equipment in India around enquiry-based practical work. A useful approach is to set each type of analysis up as a separate station and rotate groups, so every student practises more than one technique. Keep hand lenses or a microscope nearby for the fibre and insect work, and have students wear eye protection during the chemical analysis.

Supplier

This investigation kit is supplied by ScienceLab, the trading name of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, an educational laboratory equipment company based in Ambala, Haryana. Schools can place one enquiry for the kit together with the microscopes, glassware and safety items a forensic practical usually calls for, and the company serves customers across India and international markets. You can read more about us on our company profile.

Forensics Using Simulated Blood (Product Code: SLE/CH/139) puts students in the role of crime-lab technicians who assist investigators by examining evidence collected at a crime scene. They first use a presumptive blood test to find out whether a stain on a piece of cloth may be blood, then determine the blood type of a sample from the scene and compare it with samples from two suspects. Along the way they meet an important idea about evidence: blood type alone is not enough to prove guilt, but it can help exonerate a suspect. The kit holds enough materials for 10 groups, uses simulated blood and simulated antisera rather than real samples, and is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, as a ready-to-teach science kit for students in India and abroad.

Specifications

Kit includes:

• 1 pc cloth
• 1 btl 70% ethanol
• 1 btl blood detection reagent #1
• 1 btl blood detection reagent #2
• 4 simulated blood samples: Victim, Suspect #1, Suspect #2 and Crime Scene Evidence
• 40 blood typing trays
• 10 cotton swabs
• 1 btl simulated anti-A serum
• 1 btl simulated anti-B serum
• 1 btl simulated anti-Rh serum

Typical Use

The lesson runs in two stages. In the first, each group works on the stained cloth with a cotton swab, the 70% ethanol and the two blood detection reagents, following the Teacher’s Manual, to decide whether the stain could be blood. This shows students why investigators screen evidence before committing it to fuller testing. In the second stage, groups place the crime scene sample on a blood typing tray with the simulated anti-A, anti-B and anti-Rh sera, read the reactions, and then repeat the typing for the victim and both suspects so the results can be compared side by side.

The discussion afterwards is where the real learning happens. A match between the scene sample and a suspect only places that person in a group of people who share the same blood type, whereas a mismatch can rule a suspect out — a good way to introduce the difference between class evidence and individual evidence. Schools comparing chemistry teaching kits in India often choose this one for its photocopiable Student Study Guide, which keeps every group recording results in the same format. Gloves and eye protection are good practice when handling the reagents.

Fractional Distillation Assembly (Product Code: SLE/CH/141) is a set of borosilicate glass components, all with 19/26 joints, for separating a mixture of liquids according to their boiling points. Its Vigreux column gives rising vapour extra surface on which to condense and re-evaporate several times before it reaches the condenser, which is what makes fractional distillation separate close-boiling liquids more cleanly than a simple distillation. Chemistry teachers, college demonstrators and laboratory technicians use it for practical classes and demonstrations, and it suits institutions looking for laboratory distillation apparatus in India that arrives as one matched set. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala.

Specifications

Typical Use

To set up, clamp the 250 ml round-bottom flask over a suitable heat source, fit the Vigreux column vertically in its neck, and attach the Liebig condenser so that it slopes down towards the vacuum receiver adapter and the 250 ml Erlenmeyer flask. Cooling water enters the condenser at the lower connection and leaves at the upper one, keeping the jacket full. The four 19/26 joint clips hold the connections together while the apparatus is hot. A classic class experiment is separating an ethanol and water mixture, collecting the first fraction while the more volatile liquid distils over and changing the receiver as the distillate changes.

For smooth boiling, add anti-bumping granules and fill the flask no more than about half full. Heat gradually so the vapour climbs the column slowly; heating too fast floods the column and undoes the separation. Leave the side connection on the receiver adapter open to the air for distillation at normal pressure. As a piece of borosilicate laboratory glassware in India’s school and college labs, the set should be allowed to cool before dismantling, and the joints should be cleaned promptly so they do not seize.

Manufacturer

Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited trades as ScienceLab and manufactures laboratory apparatus in Ambala, Haryana, for schools, colleges and teaching laboratories. This assembly is offered as a set in a single joint size, so the flask, column, condenser and adapter connect directly without extra adapters. Customers in India and international markets can read more on our company profile.
