What Is a Polypropylene Measuring Jug Used For?

Jugs take over where beakers and cylinders run out of room. A lab assistant making up a litre of dilute acid, a salt solution for a whole class, or water for a large water bath needs a vessel that holds the full volume and pours it without spills. With 250, 500 and 1000 ml jugs in one set, the right size is available for small additions and for full one-litre batches.

Read the raised graduations with the jug standing level and treat them as a guide rather than a precise measurement; use a measuring cylinder or volumetric flask when accuracy matters. Always add acid to water, never the reverse, and pour through the tapered spout into a funnel when filling narrow-necked bottles. Among lab plastic ware, polypropylene jugs are also handy in biology labs because they can be autoclaved at up to 130°C when preparing media.

What to Specify When Ordering

  • The number of sets of three jugs (250, 500 and 1000 ml).
  • Whether you need the separate Set of 4 jug listing instead.
  • Any matching cylinders or beakers to be quoted with the jugs.

OEM Manufacturer

The Measuring Jug, Polypropylene set comes from Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, trading as ScienceLab, which is the OEM and produces the jugs at its own licensed factory in Saha, Ambala, Haryana.

Melting Point Block

Product Code : SLE/PHY/112

Melting Point Block (Product Code: SLE/PHY/112) is a basic aluminium heating block used to determine the melting point of substances in school chemistry and physics practicals. Designed for individual student use, it has a 7 mm hole for a thermometer and comes with a 75 x 25 mm glass slide; the thermometer is not supplied. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India.

Product codeSLE/PHY/112
ManufacturerJain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab) — OEM
Country of originIndia (made in Ambala, Haryana)

What Is the Melting Point Block Used For?

A few crystals of the test substance are placed on the glass slide resting on the block, a thermometer goes into the thermometer hole, and the block is warmed slowly from below. Aluminium spreads heat evenly, so the thermometer reading follows the temperature under the slide closely; the reading at which the crystals turn clear and liquid is recorded as the melting point.

Students can compare a pure sample with one containing an impurity, which melts lower and over a wider range, or identify an unknown solid against a table of values. Heat gently near the expected melting point for an accurate result, handle the hot block with tongs, and let it cool before cleaning the slide. Giving every learner a block of their own makes it a practical choice among physics lab instruments in India.

What to Specify When Ordering

  • Number of blocks — the listing presents it for individual student use.
  • A thermometer for each block, with a stem that fits the 7 mm hole.
  • A heat source and support, such as a burner, tripod and gauze.

OEM Manufacturer

The Melting Point Block is manufactured by ScienceLab — the trade name of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited — at its own licensed factory in Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. Since the block comes straight from the OEM, schools ordering a full class set and dealers restocking can ask the maker directly about spare glass slides or repeat supplies. Background on the company is on our company profile.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is included with the Melting Point Block?
The Melting Point Block includes the aluminium block and a glass slide measuring 75 x 25 mm. A thermometer is not supplied, so order one separately or use a suitable thermometer already in your laboratory.

What size of thermometer fits the block?
The thermometer hole in the Melting Point Block is 7 mm. Choose a thermometer whose stem passes easily into a 7 mm opening and whose range covers the melting points your students will measure; ask us if you want one quoted.

Why is the block made of aluminium?
Aluminium conducts heat well, so the Melting Point Block warms evenly and the thermometer reading stays close to the temperature under the glass slide. This helps students record a clearer melting point with simple school heating equipment.

Is it suitable for individual student work?
Yes. The Melting Point Block is described as ideal for individual student use, so each learner or pair can carry out their own melting-point determination instead of watching a single demonstration at the front of the class.

Who manufactures the Melting Point Block?
The Melting Point Block is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd, trading as ScienceLab, as the OEM at its own factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. Quotations come directly from the manufacturer.

Paper, Universal

Product Code : SLE/CH/213

Paper, Universal (Product Code: SLE/CH/213) is a universal indicator paper covering pH 1 to 11. Unlike litmus, which only says acid or alkali, it turns a different colour at different points of the scale, so students can estimate how acidic or alkaline a solution is in a few seconds. It comes as a plastic case of 10 books, each holding 20 leaves, which suits school practical classes, college chemistry and biology labs, and quick checks on water or soil extracts. Schools and colleges sourcing pH indicator paper in India can order it from Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, which supplies it alongside its own laboratory equipment.

Specifications

ParameterDetail
Product typeUniversal indicator paper
pH range1 – 11
PackingPlastic case containing 10 books
Leaves per book20
Supplied asLaboratory consumable

Typical Use

In a classroom, a teacher can hand each group a single book and ask them to test vinegar, lemon juice, soap solution, tap water and a soil extract, then arrange the samples in order from most acidic to most alkaline. The paper is also handy for checking that a neutralisation is complete, for showing that some salt solutions are not neutral, and for rough pH checks in plant and microbiology practicals. Because it is one of the most frequently reordered chemistry consumables, many labs keep a case in each practical room.

For a clean reading, tear off one leaf, place a drop of the sample on it with a glass rod rather than dipping the whole leaf, and compare the colour with the pH colour reference straight away, before the strip dries. Since the scale stops at pH 11, strongly alkaline solutions such as dilute sodium hydroxide will simply show the top colour; for those, a full-range paper is the better choice. Keep the case closed between uses so the books are not exposed to acid or ammonia fumes.

Supplier

This indicator paper is supplied, not manufactured, by Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, the Ambala, Haryana company that trades under the ScienceLab name. Schools and colleges can order it together with the glassware and apparatus the company makes, so one enquiry covers a full practical set-up. Read more about the business on the ScienceLab company profile.

Frequently Asked Questions

What pH range does this paper cover?
It covers pH 1 to 11. If your samples include strong alkalis above that range, choose the full-scale pH 1-14 paper listed above.

How much paper is in one case?
One plastic case holds 10 books, and each book contains 20 leaves, so a single case can be split between several student groups.

How do I read the result?
Wet the leaf with a drop of the sample and compare its colour with the pH colour reference immediately. If you need to know the format of the colour reference supplied with current stock, please ask us through the contact page.

Can it replace a pH meter?
For approximate readings in teaching labs, yes. Where a precise numerical value is required, for example in research or quality testing, a calibrated pH meter is the right tool.

How should the books be stored?
Keep them closed inside the plastic case, in a dry place away from sunlight and chemical fumes, and handle leaves with dry fingers or forceps to avoid false colours.

Do you supply larger quantities for institutions or export?
Yes. We supply schools, colleges and distributors across India and international markets. Share the product code SLE/CH/213, the number of cases and the delivery location, and we will prepare a quotation.

Product codeSLE/CH/214
Supplied byJain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India

What Is Universal pH 1-14 Paper Used For?

A common exercise is to test equal-strength solutions of hydrochloric acid, acetic acid, ammonia solution and sodium hydroxide side by side, so students see that strong and weak acids (or alkalis) give clearly different colours even at the same concentration. The paper is equally useful for following how pH changes as an acid is progressively diluted, for checking the pH of salt solutions, and for confirming that waste is close to neutral before disposal.

Place a drop of sample on a leaf resting on a clean spotting tile or watch glass, then match the colour against the pH colour reference at once. Use only dilute solutions with students, and have them wear goggles and gloves when strong acids or alkalis are on the bench. Leaves that have touched a sample should be discarded, not returned to the book.

What to Specify When Ordering

  • The pH range you need: this pH 1-14 paper, or the pH 1-11 Paper, Universal when no strongly alkaline samples are tested
  • The number of plastic cases, each holding 10 books of 20 leaves
  • Any other acid–base consumables, such as litmus paper or universal indicator solution, to add to the same quotation

Supplier

ScienceLab is the trading name of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited in Ambala, Haryana, India.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is this different from the plain Paper, Universal?
Paper, Universal, pH 1-14 reads the full pH 1–14 scale, while the plain Paper, Universal in our range covers pH 1-11. Choose the pH 1-14 paper whenever strongly alkaline solutions are part of the practical.

What does one case contain?
Each plastic case of Paper, Universal, pH 1-14 contains 10 books with 20 leaves in every book, so one book can be handed to each group while the rest of the case stays closed and dry.

Can a leaf be used more than once?
No. Once a leaf of Paper, Universal, pH 1-14 has changed colour it should be discarded, because reusing it mixes colours from different samples and gives unreliable readings.

What is the shelf life of the paper?
The shelf life of Paper, Universal, pH 1-14 depends on the indicator, its grade and storage conditions; ask us for the expiry date of the batch you are quoted, and keep the case closed in a cool, dry place.

What should an institutional quotation request include?
For Paper, Universal, pH 1-14, give the product code SLE/CH/214, the number of cases, billing and delivery addresses, and any other consumables you want on the same order, so everything can be quoted together.

Who supplies Paper, Universal, pH 1-14?

Parafilm

Product Code : SLE/CH/215

Parafilm (Product Code: SLE/CH/215) is a two-way stretch sealing film used to close the mouths of flasks, test tubes, beakers and dishes when a stopper or lid is not practical. Pulled gently in both directions, it clings around irregular shapes and surfaces and forms a snug seal against evaporation and dust. The film is 100mm wide and 38m long, free from plasticisers and non-toxic, which makes it a routine item among lab consumables in chemistry, biology and microbiology labs at schools, colleges and research institutes. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India.

Specifications

Composition notesFree from plasticisers; non-toxic
Chemical resistanceResists polar substances such as saline solutions, inorganic acid and alkaline solutions for up to 48 hours; resistant to most lower alcohols
Not suitable withMany common solvents, such as diethyl ether and carbon tetrachloride, in which it is unstable
HandlingClings around irregular shapes and surfaces

Typical Use

Technicians use the film to cover conical flasks holding prepared solutions or broth, to seal test tubes before they are shaken, to wrap the rim of culture plates during incubation, and to close a measuring cylinder so it can be inverted for mixing. In microbiology lab work it is also used to keep plates and small containers from drying out while they are stored. Because it stretches up to 200%, a small square is usually enough for a flask neck, which keeps usage economical.

Cut a piece a little larger than the opening, stretch it across, then wrap and press it down the sides so it grips. Keep it away from heat: with a melting temperature of 60°C it is not for hot plates, ovens or autoclaves. Its resistance to salt, acid and alkaline solutions is rated for up to 48 hours, so for longer storage switch to a proper stopper or cap, and never rely on it with diethyl ether, carbon tetrachloride or similar solvents.

Supplier

ScienceLab, the brand of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited in Ambala, Haryana, supplies this sealing film as a consumable rather than manufacturing it. Labs can add it to orders for the glassware and apparatus the company produces, which simplifies purchasing for a whole department. Learn more on our company profile.

Pestle & Mortar, Unglazed

Product Code : SLE/CH/216

Pestle & Mortar, Unglazed (Product Code: SLE/CH/216) is a white porcelain grinding set used to crush crystals and lumps into a fine, even powder in school and college laboratories. Its grinding surface is left unglazed, giving the slight roughness needed for efficient grinding, and the porcelain is chemical resistant, so it can be used with a wide range of laboratory solids. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, as part of its chemistry lab equipment range.

Product codeSLE/CH/216
Supplied byJain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India

What Is an Unglazed Pestle and Mortar Used For?

In school chemistry, students crush salt crystals before dissolving them or heating them in a dry test tube, a routine step in salt analysis practicals. College labs use it to powder samples for melting-point work and to blend solids before a reaction, pharmacy students grind tablets and mix powders during dosage-form practicals, and biology classes grind leaves with a little sand and solvent to extract plant pigments. That breadth is why it appears on almost every lab equipment list for school chemistry in India.

Work with small portions: press and rotate the pestle against the bowl rather than pounding, and scrape the powder back to the centre now and then. Because an unglazed surface can hold traces of earlier samples, rinse and brush it straight after use; grinding a little clean sand before washing helps lift stubborn residue. Many labs keep separate sets for coloured or toxic materials to avoid cross-contamination.

Supplier

This pestle and mortar is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, which trades as ScienceLab from Ambala, Haryana, India, to schools, colleges and distributors. For vendor registration, the supplying company is Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited (GSTIN 06AAECJ8618A1ZT, LEI 3358004HRD1JIVXKYX49).

Frequently Asked Questions

What material is the Pestle & Mortar, Unglazed?
The Pestle & Mortar, Unglazed is white porcelain, with the inside grinding surface left unglazed for better grip on the sample; the porcelain is chemical resistant for routine work with laboratory salts and solids.

Why choose an unglazed surface over a glazed one?
An unglazed surface, as on the Pestle & Mortar, Unglazed, adds friction, so crystals break down to a fine powder with less effort. A glazed surface is easier to wipe clean but grinds less efficiently.

Which sizes are available?
Size details for the Pestle & Mortar, Unglazed are not listed on this page. Tell us the bowl diameter or capacity you need through our contact page and we will confirm what can be supplied before quoting.

How should it be cleaned?
Rinse and brush the Pestle & Mortar, Unglazed straight after use; for residue that stays in the unglazed surface, grind a little clean sand, then wash and dry the set fully before the next sample.

Is it resistant to chemicals?
