Thermometer, Infra Red, Hand Held (Product Code: SLE/CH/234) measures surface temperature from a distance, which makes it a safe choice whenever the object is too hot, moving or hazardous to touch — a hot plate, the side of a heated beaker or a running motor. It covers -35 to 230°C, with the display switchable between °C and °F, and reads in 0.1°C divisions. The instrument is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, and is a compact addition to the laboratory instruments it supplies to schools, colleges and workshops in India and abroad.

| Temperature range | -35 to 230°C (°C/°F switchable) |
| Accuracy | ±2% or ±2.0°C (±2.0°F) |
| Emissivity | 0.95 fixed |
| Wavelength | 5 to 14 µm |
| Divisions | 0.1°C |
| Distance to spot ratio | 1:1 |
| LCD dimensions | 14mm x 24mm |
| Product dimensions | 75mm x 40mm x 20mm |
| Supplied with | Wrist strap, clip-out stamp and storage pouch |
Teachers use a hand-held infrared thermometer to check a hot plate, water bath or heating block before students handle it, and to follow a cooling curve without disturbing the surface being measured. In physics and chemistry lessons it brings heat-transfer experiments to life: students can compare how quickly dark and shiny cans lose heat, see which insulating material keeps a container warmest, or map the temperature along a metal bar heated at one end. It is equally handy for checking the walls of a refrigerator or incubator and the casing of a motor in a technical workshop.
With a distance to spot ratio of 1:1, the measured spot is roughly as wide as the distance to the target, so hold the thermometer close to small objects. The fixed 0.95 emissivity suits most painted, matte, plastic and organic surfaces; bare shiny metal reads low, so cover a small patch with matte tape or paint for a truer value. Glass is opaque at these wavelengths, so aiming at a beaker gives the temperature of the glass wall, not the liquid inside — a useful teaching point for any class using analytical lab instruments.
The infrared thermometer is offered under the ScienceLab name by Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, a manufacturer of teaching and laboratory apparatus based in Ambala, Haryana. Schools, colleges and training institutes can read more about the company on our company profile.

What comes with the thermometer?
It is supplied with a wrist strap, clip-out stamp and storage pouch. Battery details are not listed here; contact us to confirm before ordering.
How accurate is it?
The stated accuracy is ±2% or ±2.0°C (±2.0°F), with readings shown in 0.1°C divisions.
How far away can I measure from?
Any distance works, but the 1:1 distance to spot ratio means the area measured grows as you step back. For small targets, hold the thermometer close so the spot stays on the object.
Can it measure the temperature of a liquid in a beaker?
Only the surface it can see. Through glass it reads the glass wall; for the liquid itself, use an immersion thermometer or measure the open liquid surface.
Why do shiny metal surfaces give low readings?
Emissivity is fixed at 0.95, which matches most non-metallic surfaces. Polished metal emits less infrared, so a matte patch gives a more reliable reading.
Is a calibration certificate available?
Please discuss calibration certificate availability with us at the enquiry stage via our contact page.
Do you supply multiple units for a department?
Yes. Institutional and distributor orders for India and international markets are quoted on request.

The Thiele Tube (Product Code: SLE/CH/235) is a clear borosilicate glass tube, 25mm in diameter and 150mm long, used for determining the melting point of organic compounds. In the classic Thiele design, heat applied to the side loop sets up convection currents in the bath liquid, giving the slow, even warming that a sharp melting-point reading needs without a stirrer. It is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, for organic chemistry practicals in colleges, universities and pharmacy laboratories, and forms part of its chemistry lab glassware in India and for export.
| Parameter | Detail |
|---|---|
| Material | Borosilicate glass |
| Colour | Clear |
| Diameter of tube | 25mm |
| Length | 150mm |
| Heat resistance | Heat resistant |
| Chemical resistance | Chemical resistant |
| Application | Determining the melting point of organic compounds |
For a melting-point determination, the tube is clamped by its neck to a retort stand and filled with a high-boiling bath liquid, such as liquid paraffin or silicone oil, to just above the upper junction of the side loop. A little of the powdered sample is packed into a capillary sealed at one end, the capillary is fixed to a thermometer so the sample sits beside the bulb, and the thermometer is lowered into the tube through a notched cork. Gentle heating of the side loop with a small flame then circulates the oil around the thermometer, and students record the range from the first droplet of liquid to a completely clear melt. A pure compound melts sharply, while impurities lower and broaden the range, which is why the Thiele tube remains a staple for identity and purity checks.
Slow the heating as the expected melting point approaches so the thermometer keeps pace with the sample. If a rubber ring is used to hold the capillary, keep it above the oil level where it will not soften. Let the bath cool completely before emptying or moving the tube. Well-kept borosilicate laboratory glassware of this kind gives consistent results over many practical sessions.
The Thiele Tube is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, known in laboratories as ScienceLab. The company operates from Ambala, Haryana, producing glassware and apparatus for chemistry teaching and routine analytical work. Our company profile has more about its background.

What are the dimensions of the tube?
The tube is 25mm in diameter and 150mm long, made from clear borosilicate glass.
Which liquid should be used in the bath?
The bath liquid is not supplied. Liquid paraffin or silicone oil is commonly chosen because it stays stable well above the melting points being measured; select one suited to your compounds.
Is a thermometer or capillary included?
No, the listing covers the glass tube only. Thermometers and capillaries are available separately from our range.
Can the tube be heated with a direct flame?
Yes, the borosilicate glass is heat resistant. Apply a small flame to the side loop, not the main column, and heat gradually.
How is the tube cleaned after use?
Allow it to cool, drain the oil into a labelled container, then wash with warm water and detergent (or a suitable solvent for stubborn oil), rinse and dry.
Can you quote for a full organic chemistry lab?
Yes. Send the list of apparatus and quantities through our contact page; we supply institutions in India and international markets.

Tool Bag (Product Code: SLE/CH/236) is a heavy-duty, water resistant canvas bag for carrying the hand tools, spare parts and small apparatus that laboratory technicians and teachers move between rooms, workshops and field sites. It closes with a heavy-duty zip, has wrap-around strap handles and measures 460 x 180 x 195 mm. The bag is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, and is a practical support item for lab equipment maintenance in India's schools, colleges and technical institutes.
| Parameter | Detail |
|---|---|
| Material | Heavy-duty water resistant canvas |
| Closure | Heavy-duty zip |
| Handles | Wrap-around strap handles |
| Dimensions | 460 x 180 x 195 mm |
| Packing | Packed in a polythene bag with display card |
A laboratory technician's day involves tightening boss heads and clamps, replacing fuses and leads, checking electrical apparatus with a multimeter and fixing loose fittings on benches. Keeping those tools together in one zipped canvas bag means they travel to the physics, chemistry and biology rooms as a set, rather than being borrowed and lost. The same bag is useful for field trips, carrying thermometers, sample bags, tape measures and notebooks to a pond or garden study, and for vocational and technical courses where each group needs its own tool set.
The water resistant canvas shrugs off splashes and light rain, but it is not designed to hold liquids, so keep chemicals in their own sealed containers. Avoid overfilling so the heavy-duty zip closes without strain, brush out dust and metal filings regularly, and let the bag air-dry if it gets wet. As part of a new school laboratory setup, one or two tool bags per department make routine upkeep far quicker.
ScienceLab is the trade name of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited (CIN U29309HR2020PTC087597), an Ambala, Haryana company that manufactures at its licensed factory at 449, HSIIDC Industrial Area, Saha, Ambala (Factory Licence AMB-ONLINE-CHD-J-414).

Tripod, Stainless Steel (Product Code: SLE/CH/237) is a 200mm tall heating stand with a triangular stainless steel top of 125mm side length, steel legs and rubber feet. Placed over a Bunsen burner or spirit lamp, it supports a wire gauze with a beaker or flask, or a pipeclay triangle holding a crucible, at a steady working height. It is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, and is a basic item of chemistry lab equipment in India for school and college practical benches.
| Parameter | Detail |
|---|---|
| Material | Stainless steel |
| Top | Triangular, stainless steel |
| Side length of top | 125mm |
| Height | 200mm |
| Legs | Steel |
| Feet | Rubber |
| Colour | Silver |
The tripod is the base of most heating setups in a school laboratory. With a wire gauze on top it carries a beaker of water for a water bath, a flask being brought to the boil, or an evaporating dish concentrating a salt solution for crystallisation. With a pipeclay triangle in place of the gauze it holds a crucible for strong heating — burning magnesium ribbon, driving water from hydrated copper sulfate or finding the mass of a residue. The stainless steel construction resists the rust that plain steel tripods develop after repeated spills and heating, and the rubber feet help keep the tripod steady on the bench.
Check that your burner fits under the 200mm top with the flame just reaching the gauze, and stand the tripod on a heat-resistant mat. The metal stays hot long after the burner is turned off, so move it only once it has cooled or use tongs, and keep the rubber feet well clear of the flame. Crystallising a salt in an evaporating dish and heating a crucible, with crucible tongs close at hand, are standard school practicals built around this stand.
This tripod comes from Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, the Ambala, Haryana company behind the ScienceLab brand, which produces heating supports, stands and bench apparatus for chemistry teaching. Visit our company profile to find out more.
Items that make up a complete heating station with the tripod:
Complete the bench with more items from our Chemistry Lab Equipment range.
How tall is the tripod and how big is the top?
It is 200mm tall with a triangular stainless steel top of 125mm side length.
Why choose stainless steel?
Stainless steel resists corrosion from spills and repeated heating, and it wipes clean easily, so the tripod keeps its appearance over years of use.
Is a wire gauze included?
No, the gauze and pipeclay triangle are sold separately. See the related items above.
Which burners fit underneath?
Any burner that fits under a 200mm top with the flame reaching the gauze. If you are unsure about a particular burner, ask us before ordering.
Can the rubber feet take heat?
The rubber feet are there for grip on the bench. Keep the burner flame under the centre of the top so it does not reach the feet.
Do you supply tripods for a whole laboratory?
Yes, class sets for schools and colleges in India and international markets are quoted on request via our contact page.
For prices on single units or class sets, contact us or add the stainless steel tripod to the enquiry cart.

Wicks For Glass Spirit Burner (Product Code: SLE/CH/238) are replacement wicks that can be used with the Methylated Spirit Burner, packed ten to a pack so that a laboratory can keep every burner on the bench lighting cleanly through the school year. A fresh wick draws fuel evenly and gives a steady, clean flame, while a charred or shortened one produces a weak, smoky flame that slows down practical work. The wicks are supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, as part of its range as a chemistry consumables supplier in India and for institutions abroad.
| Parameter | Detail |
|---|---|
| Type | Replacement burner wicks |
| For use with | Methylated Spirit Burner (glass spirit burner) |
| Supplied as | Pack of 10 |
| Suitable for | School, college and teaching laboratories that use spirit burners for flame heating |
Spirit burners are the heat source of choice in rooms without a gas supply, in primary and middle-school science, and wherever a small, gentle flame is enough — warming a test tube, heating a small beaker on a tripod or running a simple heat-transfer demonstration. Over time the exposed end of the wick chars and shortens, and it eventually stops drawing fuel properly. Replacing it takes a minute: remove the cap and the wick holder, thread a new wick through the holder so that a short, even length stands above it, let the lower end soak in methylated spirit before lighting, and trim any frayed strands.
Only refill or re-wick a burner when the flame is out and the glass has cooled, keep the cap on when the burner is not in use to stop the fuel evaporating, and never let a wick burn dry. Keeping a pack of spare wicks with the lab consumables means a burner can be returned to service in the same lesson instead of being set aside.
These wicks are supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, the company behind ScienceLab in Ambala, Haryana. The company keeps spares and consumables alongside its laboratory apparatus, so burners, lamps and other bench equipment can stay in service between larger orders. More information is on our company profile.
Items used with a spirit burner in the same heating setup:
Find burners, supports and other consumables in our Chemistry Lab Equipment category.
How many wicks are in a pack?
Each pack contains 10 wicks.
Which burner do these wicks fit?
They can be used with the Methylated Spirit Burner. Wick dimensions are not listed here, so for any other burner or lamp please send us the wick holder details before ordering.
When should a wick be replaced?
Replace it when the exposed end is heavily charred or hardened, when it no longer reaches the fuel, or when the flame becomes small, uneven or smoky.
Can a wick be trimmed instead of replaced?
Yes, trimming away a lightly charred tip often restores an even flame. Once the wick is too short to reach the fuel, fit a new one.
Is fuel included?
No, the pack contains wicks only. Methylated spirit is available separately.
Can you supply wicks for several laboratories at once?
Yes. Multiple packs for schools, colleges and distributors in India and international markets are quoted on request.
To order spare wicks, contact us with the number of packs, or add them to the enquiry cart with your other consumables.

Window Thermometer, Large (Product Code: SLE/CH/239) is a clear, flexible and virtually transparent thermometer, 80mm in diameter, that fixes to a window or glass door so the temperature on the other side of the glass can be read from inside the room. A centre suction attachment and electro-static technology hold it firmly in place, and its range of -50°C to 50°C covers everyday outdoor conditions. It is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, and is a simple, visual piece of educational laboratory equipment in India for classrooms and school weather projects.
| Parameter | Detail |
|---|---|
| Type | Clear, flexible, virtually transparent window thermometer |
| Fixing | Centre suction attachment; adheres to windows or glass doors using electro-static technology |
| Range | -50°C to 50°C |
| Diameter | 80mm |
| Stand-off from glass | Stands up to 20mm from the window |
| Design feature | Allows air to circulate around the thermometer to stop exaggerated readings caused by heat radiation through the glass |
Fixed to the outer face of a classroom window, the thermometer lets students take the outdoor temperature at the start of every lesson without leaving the room, building a daily weather log for geography, environmental studies or a science club. Placed beside an indoor thermometer, it makes the difference between inside and outside conditions obvious, which leads naturally into discussions of insulation, heat loss through glass and seasonal change. Its transparent body keeps the view through the window largely clear, so it can stay in place all year.
Because it stands up to 20mm off the glass, air moves around the thermometer and it is not simply reading the warmth of the pane itself. Choose a window that is shaded for most of the day and away from air-conditioner outlets or heater vents, and clean the glass before fixing for a secure hold. As a simple window-mounted instrument it pairs well with digital loggers when students compare instrument types.
ScienceLab products such as this window thermometer are made by Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited of Ambala, Haryana, which supplies schools, colleges and teaching laboratories under the ScienceLab trading name. The company profile gives an overview of the company.

How does it stay on the window?
It has a centre suction attachment and adheres to windows or glass doors using electro-static technology. Clean, dry glass gives the firmest hold.
Why does it stand away from the glass?
Standing up to 20mm from the window lets air circulate around the thermometer, which stops exaggerated readings caused by heat radiation through the glass.
How large is it?
The thermometer is 80mm in diameter, and its clear, flexible body sits close to the glass without blocking much of the view.
Which side of the window should it go on?
To read outdoor temperature from inside, fix it to the outside of the glass. Pick a window out of direct sun for the most representative readings.
How should it be cleaned?
Wipe it with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners, which can cloud the clear body.
Can schools order several units?
Yes. We quote for schools, colleges and distributors in India and international markets — contact us with your quantity.

Geiger Counter (Product Code: SLE/PHY/119) is a compact, general-purpose radiation survey meter used to detect alpha, beta, gamma and X-radiation in school and college nuclear physics practicals. Physics teachers use it to make radioactive decay visible and audible, because a red count light flashes and a beep sounds with every event it detects across its 3 selectable ranges. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, as part of its nuclear physics lab equipment range.
| Parameter | Detail |
|---|---|
| Instrument type | Compact, ergonomic, general-purpose survey meter |
| Radiation detected | Alpha, beta, gamma and X-rays |
| Measuring ranges | 3 selectable ranges |
| Linearity | More linear reading for gamma and X-rays above 40 keV |
| Event indication | Red count light flashes and a beep sounds with each event detected |
| Product code | SLE/PHY/119 |
| Supplied by | Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India |
In the physics laboratory the Geiger Counter is the quickest way to show students that ionising radiation can be detected and counted. A typical lesson starts by recording the background count in the room, then brings a sealed school source closer to show the count rising, and finally places sheets of paper, aluminium or lead between source and detector to compare how far alpha, beta and gamma radiation penetrate.
Because every detected event produces a flash and a beep, the meter also demonstrates that decay is random: students can listen to the irregular clicks and count them over fixed intervals. For any radiation experiment, keep sources in their storage containers when not in use, handle them with tongs, and follow your institution's radiation-safety rules.
ScienceLab is the trading name of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, an Ambala, Haryana company that supplies laboratory equipment to schools, colleges and institutions in India and international markets. The Geiger Counter is a sourced survey meter, and we can quote it together with the sealed sources, tube holder and scaler timer listed in our physics range. Read more about the company on our company profile.
These items from our physics range are used in the same radioactivity lessons as the Geiger Counter:
Browse the full Physics Lab Equipment range for more nuclear physics and electricity apparatus.
What radiation does the Geiger Counter detect?
The Geiger Counter (SLE/PHY/119) detects alpha, beta, gamma and X-rays over 3 selectable ranges. Its reading is more linear for gamma and X-rays above 40 keV, which suits classroom comparisons of different sources and absorbers.
How does the Geiger Counter show that radiation has been detected?
The Geiger Counter signals each detected event in two ways: a red count light flashes and a beep sounds. This lets a whole class see and hear individual counts during a demonstration, even from the back of the room.
Are radioactive sources included with the Geiger Counter?
No radioactive sources are listed as part of the Geiger Counter; the product is the survey meter itself. Sealed americium, strontium and cobalt sources appear as separate products, so name any sources you need in your quotation request.
