Multimeter (Product Code: SCL-658/03a) is a digital multimeter with a rotary position selector for AC and DC voltage up to 600 V, current on 20 mA and 10 A ranges, capacitance up to 20 µF and resistance from 200 Ω to 200 kΩ. Its 15 mm display figures are easy to read on a crowded bench, and it switches itself off automatically to save the battery. Supplied with probes and battery, it replaces a separate ammeter voltmeter school India labs would otherwise buy, and is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India.

Specifications

Typical Use

In an Ohm law experiment kit India students assemble, the multimeter is first placed in series on the milliamp range to read current, then moved across the resistor on a DC voltage range; plotting voltage against current gives the resistance, which can be checked directly on the resistance range once the circuit is switched off. The capacitance range adds a quick check of capacitor values before charging and discharging experiments.

Good practice keeps both students and meter safe: choose the function and a range above the expected value before connecting, move the red lead to the correct socket for the 10 A range, never measure resistance or capacitance in a live circuit, and keep school practicals to low-voltage supplies. The automatic switch-off means a meter left on at the end of a lesson will not flatten its battery.

Apparatus for Photosynthesis (Product Code: SCL102/1.1) is a panel-mounted apparatus for measuring and collecting the gas given off by aquatic plants during photosynthesis. The gas collects in a calibrated capillary tube, where its volume is read, and can then be drawn off with plastic syringes for further testing. Biology teachers use it as a quantitative photosynthesis experiment kit India schools and colleges can run at the bench. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India.

Specifications

Typical Use

Place a healthy sprig of pondweed in water in the apparatus, allow it to settle in the light, and then measure how far the gas bubble moves along the calibrated capillary tube in a fixed time. Repeating the reading with the lamp at different distances, with coloured filters, or with water at different temperatures turns the apparatus into a proper rate investigation, giving students real data to graph instead of bubble counts.

Once enough gas has collected, draw it off with one of the plastic syringes to test it, for example with a glowing splint. As a piece of plant biology lab equipment it also supports discussion of limiting factors and experimental control: keep the plant, water volume and timing the same, change one factor at a time, and let the plant re-acclimatise for a few minutes after each change before taking readings.

Manufacturer

The apparatus is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, a science-education company in Ambala, Haryana, that trades under the ScienceLab name. Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited is registered as an MSME manufacturing enterprise (UDYAM-HR-01-0003714) and holds Importer-Exporter Code AAECJ8618A for international consignments.

Tape (Product Code: SCL109/1.3) is a metal measuring tape for taking lengths, widths and spans from one point to another during practical work. Teachers and students use it to mark out distances for motion experiments, measure benches and apparatus, and record outdoor dimensions in geography and environmental projects. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, as part of its school laboratory equipment range for institutions in India and international markets.

Key Details

Typical Use

In a physics period the tape is laid along the floor or bench to set a known distance for a trolley run, a falling-object drop or a sound-echo measurement, so students can pair a measured length with a timed reading. It is equally handy for sizing up a room before a lab layout change, checking the spacing of stands, or marking plots in the school garden for an ecology survey. As mechanics lab equipment in India goes, a simple tape remains one of the most frequently borrowed items in the prep room.

For a clean reading, set the end-clip exactly on the starting mark, run the tape straight without twists or sag, and read the value squarely from above. On a long span one student can anchor the clip against a fixed object while another reads the far end. Tape measures commonly offer a clip for hooking onto a fixed edge, a brake on steel-blade types that locks the blade, or a side crank on longer cloth tapes; ask us which of these features the current version of this item carries.

Manufacturer

This tape is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, a company that sells under the ScienceLab name from Ambala, Haryana, India. Schools, colleges and distributors can read about the company's background and product lines on our company profile page.

Compass. (Product Code: SCL111/1.4) is a 50 mm diameter magnetic compass for general laboratory use. Its magnetised needle, usually marked at the North end, swings freely to line up with the Earth's magnetic field, so students can read direction against a dial showing the cardinal points. Physics teachers use it for magnetism lessons and geography staff for basic direction-finding, making it a staple item of school physics lab equipment in India. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala.

Specifications

Typical Use

In the physics lab the compass is placed at different positions around a bar magnet or a current-carrying wire to show how the needle turns with the local field, which helps students see that a magnetic field has direction as well as strength. Laid flat on the bench away from other magnets, it also demonstrates that a freely pivoted magnet settles along the north–south line. Used together with a bar magnet, a staple of school magnetism practicals in India, it also lets a class check which end of an unmarked magnet is its north pole.

Outdoors, the same instrument introduces map orientation: students hold it level, let the needle settle, turn the body until North on the dial meets the needle, and then read off the direction of a landmark. A short history note fits well here too — the magnetic compass greatly improved the safety and efficiency of travel, especially at sea. Keep it away from steel furniture, loudspeakers and live wiring during readings, since these pull the needle off true magnetic north.

Manufacturer

ScienceLab is the brand under which Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited produces and sells teaching apparatus from its base in Ambala, Haryana. You can learn more about the company, its manufacturing work and its range on the company profile.

Related Laboratory Equipment

Apparatus that fits naturally into the same magnetism or direction-finding lesson:

• Bar Magnet (Plastic) — the usual magnet for tracing field direction with a compass
• Steel Horseshoe Magnet — lets students compare the field between two close poles
• Plotting Compass, Single Glass Face — a plotting compass for marking field-line paths on paper
• Compass 1 — a further compass listing in the same range for larger class orders
• Tape — measures distances between landmarks during outdoor orientation work

More general teaching apparatus is listed in our Laboratory Equipment category.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size is the compass?
It has a 50 mm diameter, large enough for a small group to read the dial together on the bench.

What is the case made of?
The needle is mounted in an aluminium case with a glass top; the listing also describes the construction as aluminium ply type, 18 mm, with glass on both sides. Contact us if you need a photograph or drawing of the current version.

Why does my needle point the wrong way indoors?
Nearby iron or steel, magnets and electrical cables distort the local field. Move the compass clear of them and keep it level so the needle can swing freely.

Can it be used to show magnetic field direction around a magnet?
Yes. Placing it at several points around a magnet shows how the needle turns with the field; for drawing detailed field lines on paper a smaller plotting compass is easier to move step by step.

How should it be stored?
Store it flat, away from strong magnets, so the needle does not stay pressed against one side and the glass is not scratched.

Do you supply compasses in class quantities?
Yes, we quote for schools, colleges and distributors across India and international markets; share your quantity and delivery location when you enquire.
