Root Pressure Apparatus (Product Code: SCL226/035) is a borosilicate glass demonstration set used to show root pressure — the push that drives water from the roots into the cut stem of a well-watered plant — in school and college botany practicals. It lets students see this part of water transport directly rather than only reading about it. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India, as one of its biology teaching aids.

Key Details

What Is the Root Pressure Apparatus Used For?

It is used to prove that roots can push water upward without help from the leaves. A soft-stemmed potted plant is watered well, and the stem is cut close to soil level. A glass tube is joined to the cut stump with rubber tubing, filled with a little water and clamped upright, and the starting level is marked. Over the following hours the water level rises as the roots push sap into the tube.

Make the joint airtight, keep the soil moist throughout and start the demonstration early in the day so the rise can be checked later the same day. Many teachers run it alongside a potometer so that pull from the leaves and push from the roots can be compared, and schools equipping a botany lab can order it directly from the manufacturer together with the rest of their plant physiology apparatus.

OEM Manufacturer

ScienceLab is the trading name of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, the OEM that makes this root pressure set at its own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. Because the glasswork comes from the manufacturer rather than a trader, schools, colleges, dealers and importers receive quotations straight from the source, and can ask us about replacement glass parts or repeat orders.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Root Pressure Apparatus made of?
The Root Pressure Apparatus is made of borosilicate glass, a heat- and chemical-resistant laboratory glass that stays clear, so students can follow the water column in the tube easily as it rises during the demonstration.

What exactly is supplied with the Root Pressure Apparatus?
The product data for the Root Pressure Apparatus states the material only. Please confirm the set contents through the contact page before ordering, so you know which accessories, such as rubber tubing or a stand, to add.

Which plant works best with the Root Pressure Apparatus?
A healthy, well-watered potted plant with a soft, herbaceous stem gives the clearest result with the Root Pressure Apparatus, because the fresh cut seals well and the roots push sap readily into the tube.

Why might the water level not rise?
If the level in the Root Pressure Apparatus does not rise, the usual causes are an air leak at the joint, dry soil or a woody stem. Reseal the connection, water the plant and try again with a fresh cut.

How should the Root Pressure Apparatus be cleaned?
Rinse the glass parts of the Root Pressure Apparatus with clean water after each demonstration, remove any plant sap before it dries, and let the pieces dry fully before storage to keep the glass clear.

Who manufactures the Root Pressure Apparatus?
The Root Pressure Apparatus is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), the OEM, at its own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. Quotations and repeat orders come directly from the manufacturer.

Hand Lens (Product Code: SCL2329/036) is a handheld convex-lens magnifier used to produce an enlarged image of small specimens in school and college biology labs. Students reach for it first when examining leaf venation, flower parts or insect mouthparts, and its metallic body suits everyday handling in class. This hand lens magnifier for school labs in India and abroad is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India.

Specifications

What Is the Hand Lens Used For?

In botany practicals the lens is used to examine the parts of a flower (sepals, petals, stamens and carpels), the arrangement of seeds in a fruit, or the spore-bearing structures on the underside of a fern frond. Zoology classes use it to study insect legs, wings and antennae, while ecology field trips rely on it to identify mosses, lichens and small invertebrates on the spot. Alongside other plant biology lab equipment, it helps students decide which features are worth preparing as a slide for the microscope.

For a sharp image, hold the lens close to your eye and bring the specimen towards it until the detail comes into focus, rather than holding the lens at arm's length. Good side lighting makes surface texture much easier to see. Never look at the sun through the lens, and do not leave it lying in strong sunlight, because a convex lens concentrates light and can scorch paper or skin.

OEM Manufacturer

Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, which trades as ScienceLab, is the OEM (original equipment manufacturer) of this hand lens and makes it at its own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. Because the lens comes straight from the factory that produces it rather than through a trader, schools, colleges, dealers and importers deal directly with the maker for class sets. For repeat orders or matching sets in later years, ask us and the enquiry is handled by the manufacturer itself. More about the company is on our company profile.

Related Laboratory Equipment

These items are commonly used together with a hand lens during specimen study:

• Plain Slides — for mounting material that looks promising under the lens so it can be studied at higher power.
• Dissection Set — to open flowers, fruits or small animals before examining the exposed parts.
• Quadrat — marks out the sampling area in field ecology, where the lens helps identify each plant.
• Microfiber Lens Cloth — wipes fingerprints and dust off the lens without scratching it.

See more items for botany and zoology practicals in our Biology Lab category.

Frequently Asked Questions

What magnification does the ScienceLab hand lens give?
The magnification of the Hand Lens (SCL2329/036) is not stated in our current listing, so we do not quote a figure here. Ask through our contact page and we will confirm the magnification of the lenses being supplied before you place an order.

What is the hand lens made of?
The Hand Lens has a metallic body holding a convex lens, which is the element that produces the magnified image. A metal body is a practical choice for class sets that are passed from student to student during botany and zoology practicals.

When should students use a hand lens instead of a microscope?
Students should use the hand lens for whole, unprepared specimens such as flowers, leaves, seeds and insects, and for outdoor fieldwork. Cells and tissues need a microscope and prepared slides, because they are far too small for a hand lens to show clearly.

How should a hand lens be cleaned and stored?
Clean the hand lens with a soft lens cloth, never with paper towels or abrasive cleaners, and store it in a drawer or pouch away from other metal tools. This keeps the convex lens surface free of scratches that would blur the magnified image.

Is the hand lens safe for younger students?
Yes, the hand lens is safe for younger students with normal supervision. Teach them never to look at the sun through it and never to focus sunlight onto paper or skin, because a convex lens concentrates light and can scorch.

Who manufactures the Hand Lens SCL2329/036?
The Hand Lens is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), the OEM, at its own factory in Ambala, Haryana, India. Class sets and repeat supplies are quoted directly by the manufacturer, with no trading intermediary between you and the maker.

Can you supply class sets or export quantities of the hand lens?
Yes, ScienceLab quotes the hand lens for single class sets as well as bulk quantities for schools, colleges, distributors and importers in India and international markets. Send the code SCL2329/036 and the quantity you need through our contact page.

Test Tubes (With Rim) (Product Code: SCL239/038) are clear borosilicate glass tubes used to hold, mix and heat small volumes of liquid in school and college biology labs. Measuring 15 x 125 mm with a rim around the mouth, they are heat and chemical resistant, so students can warm them over a flame and use them with food-test reagents. These tubes belong to the borosilicate laboratory glassware made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India.

Specifications

What Is the Test Tube with Rim Used For?

In the biology lab these tubes carry out the classic tests for food components: the iodine test for starch, the biuret test for protein and the Benedict solution test for reducing sugars, which needs the tube to be heated. They are also used to follow the action of salivary amylase on starch at different temperatures, to compare the pH of samples with indicator, and to hold germinating seeds or small cultures for observation. The clear glass lets students see colour changes and precipitates from every side.

When heating, fill the tube no more than one-third full, grip it near the top with a test tube holder, keep it moving at a slant in the flame and point the mouth away from everyone. The rim gives the holder a firmer edge to sit below and helps liquid pour cleanly. Allow hot tubes to cool in a rack rather than plunging them into cold water, a simple habit that keeps school biology lab equipment in service for longer.

OEM Manufacturer

ScienceLab is the trading name of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, the OEM (original equipment manufacturer) behind these rimmed test tubes. The company produces its laboratory glassware at its own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India, and sells factory-direct to schools, colleges, dealers and importers instead of reselling another maker's stock. When a lab needs to replace breakages from an earlier order, ask us and the manufacturer itself arranges the repeat supply. Read more on our company profile.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size are the Test Tubes (With Rim)?
The Test Tubes (With Rim) measure 15 x 125 mm, written in the usual diameter-by-length form. This size suits small-volume food tests and enzyme practicals where each student group runs several tubes side by side in a rack.

Can these test tubes be heated directly in a flame?
Yes, these borosilicate test tubes are heat resistant and can be warmed directly in a flame. Heat gradually, keep the tube moving, never heat an empty tube strongly, and avoid sudden cooling, which can crack any glass.

Why choose a test tube with a rim?
A test tube with a rim has a strengthened mouth and pours more neatly than a plain edge. Rimless tubes are usually chosen only where a stopper or cap must sit flush, so rimmed tubes suit most general heating and reagent work.

How many test tubes come in a pack?
Pack quantity for these test tubes is not given in our current listing. Tell us the number of tubes you need on the contact page and we will quote packing that suits a class set, a lab restock or a distributor order.

How should the test tubes be cleaned?
Rinse the test tubes soon after use, scrub them with a test tube brush and detergent, rinse with tap water and then distilled water, and dry them upside down in a rack so that no residue affects the next colour test.

Who manufactures the Test Tubes (With Rim) SCL239/038?
Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab) manufactures the Test Tubes (With Rim) as the OEM at its own factory in Ambala, Haryana, India. Buyers receive their quotation and supply straight from the manufacturer rather than through a trading intermediary.

Do you handle bulk and export orders for these test tubes?

Watch Glass (Product Code: SCL241/039) is a shallow, curved disc of clear borosilicate glass used to hold, stain, weigh or evaporate small quantities of material in school and college laboratories. Biology students rely on it when staining plant sections, and its 3-inch diameter, heat resistance and chemical resistance suit both stains and gentle warming. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer of botany lab equipment in India, at its own factory in Ambala.

Specifications

What Is the Watch Glass Used For?

The most familiar biology use of a watch glass is staining thin transverse sections of stems, roots and leaves. Freshly cut sections are floated in water in one watch glass, moved to a second containing a stain such as safranine, rinsed in a third, and then lifted onto a slide in a drop of glycerine. Working along a row of watch glasses keeps each step separate and is the usual routine for temporary slides in biology practicals.

Chemistry and general science classes use the same glass to evaporate a few drops of solution and watch crystals form, to hold a small amount of powder on a balance pan, or to rest over the mouth of a small beaker to keep dust out. Because the glass is clear, a sheet of white paper underneath shows colour changes and residues well. Like any borosilicate laboratory glassware in India, it is best handled by the edges and set on a flat surface, since the curved base can slide on a wet bench.

OEM Manufacturer

Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited (CIN U29309HR2020PTC087597), which trades as ScienceLab, is the OEM (original equipment manufacturer) of this watch glass and makes it at its own licensed factory at 449, HSIIDC Industrial Area, Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India (Factory Licence AMB-ONLINE-CHD-J-414). Schools, colleges, laboratories and dealers buy it straight from the maker rather than through a trader. For repeat orders or matching glassware for a new lab, simply ask us. More about the company is on the company profile.

Related Laboratory Equipment

Useful companions for section staining and small-scale work:

• Safranine (Plant Tissue) — the stain most often poured into a watch glass for plant sections.
• Glycerine — mounting medium for stained sections once they leave the watch glass.
• Plain Slides — receive the stained section for viewing under the microscope.
• Beaker — a small beaker can be covered with the watch glass during warming or storage.
• Digital Analytical Balance — for weighing small samples placed on the watch glass.

More glassware and stains are listed under Biology Lab.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the diameter of the Watch Glass?
The Watch Glass (SCL241/039) measures 3 inches across, enough to hold a few stained sections, a small pinch of powder or a few drops of solution for evaporation. If your practical needs a different diameter, ask us through the contact page before ordering.

Can the Watch Glass be heated?
Yes. The Watch Glass is made of heat-resistant borosilicate glass, so it tolerates gentle warming such as over a water bath. Let it cool on its own and avoid setting it down hot on a cold, wet bench, because sudden temperature changes can still crack glass.

Will the Watch Glass fit over my beaker?
The Watch Glass will cover any beaker or dish whose mouth is narrower than its 3-inch diameter. Measure the rim of the vessel you want to cover before relying on the watch glass as a lid during warming or overnight storage.

How do I remove stain marks from the Watch Glass?
Rinse the Watch Glass straight after use, because dried stain is harder to lift. Wash it with laboratory detergent, rinse with distilled water and dry it on a clean cloth; the chemical-resistant borosilicate glass stands up well to this routine washing.

How many watch glasses does a class need?
Section staining with the Watch Glass usually takes three per student or group, one each for water, stain and rinse, so many schools order in multiples of three. ScienceLab can quote any quantity, from a single bench set to a full class.

Who manufactures the Watch Glass?
Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab) is the OEM manufacturer of the Watch Glass (SCL241/039). It is made at the company's own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India, and supplied factory-direct to schools, colleges, laboratories and dealers.

Lactometer (Test of Milk) (Product Code: SCL248/040) is a glass floating instrument used to check the specific gravity of milk, and so reveal added water, in school, college and dairy-training laboratories. Home-science and food-adulteration lessons use its 0–40 scale, divided into 1.0 degree steps with an accuracy tolerance of ±0.5 and calibrated at 84°F. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer of biology lab equipment in India, at its own factory in Ambala.

Specifications

What Is the Lactometer Used For?

Mix the milk sample gently so that the cream is evenly spread, pour it into the cylinder without making froth, and lower the lactometer in slowly until it floats freely without touching the wall. Once it settles, read the scale at the level of the milk surface. Pure milk gives a reading within its normal band, while added water makes the lactometer sink deeper and show a lower figure. Students can compare fresh milk with samples diluted in known proportions to see the trend for themselves, which makes the instrument a practical biology teaching aid in India for lessons on food adulteration.

Because the scale is calibrated at 84°F, milk that is much colder or warmer will give readings that need correcting. Check the sample temperature with a thermometer first, then either bring the milk close to 84°F or apply the correction your syllabus or dairy method specifies. Rinse the lactometer and cylinder with water straight after use so that milk solids do not dry on the stem and blur the scale.

OEM Manufacturer

The Lactometer (Test of Milk) is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, which trades as ScienceLab and is the OEM (original equipment manufacturer) of this instrument. Production takes place at the company's own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India, so dairy-training centres, schools and dealers deal directly with the maker instead of a middleman. Questions about the scale, repeat orders and replacement pieces go to the same team; just ask us. Background on the company is on our company profile.

Related Laboratory Equipment

Items that help you run the milk test correctly:

• Thermometer Alcohol — checks that the milk is near the 84°F calibration temperature.
• Thermometer (Digital) — a quicker way to read sample temperature for a whole class.
• Beaker — for mixing samples and preparing diluted milk for comparison.
• Measuring Cylinder — measures water and milk accurately when making known dilutions.
• Brush — cleans the cylinder once the milk has been rinsed out.

Explore other apparatus in our Biology Lab category.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the Lactometer (Test of Milk) measure?
The Lactometer (Test of Milk) indicates the specific gravity of milk as a reading on its 0–40 scale. Because added water lowers the density of milk, a reading below the normal band for that type of milk suggests the sample has been diluted.

How accurate is the Lactometer (Test of Milk)?
The Lactometer (Test of Milk) has a 0–40 scale divided into 1.0 degree steps with an accuracy tolerance of ±0.5. That resolution suits classroom demonstrations and routine screening of milk samples, though formal dairy testing may call for further laboratory methods.

Why does the 84°F calibration matter?
The Lactometer (Test of Milk) is calibrated at 84°F, so its readings are directly valid only when the milk is at that temperature. Colder or warmer milk has a different density, and its reading needs the temperature correction given in your syllabus or dairy method.

Is a cylinder supplied with the Lactometer (Test of Milk)?
The Lactometer (Test of Milk) is described as a glass body made up of the lactometer and a cylinder. Please confirm the exact contents on your quotation through our contact page so that each bench receives the complete set it needs.

Can a lactometer alone prove that milk is adulterated?
No. The Lactometer (Test of Milk) is a quick screening test for dilution with water. Some adulterants can hide a low reading, so any formal finding of adulteration needs further analysis in a food testing laboratory.

Is a calibration certificate available for the Lactometer (Test of Milk)?
Calibration-certificate availability for the Lactometer (Test of Milk) should be discussed with us before you order. Tell us what documentation your institution or dairy needs, and we will confirm what can be provided with the batch supplied.

Who manufactures the Lactometer (Test of Milk)?
Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab) is the OEM manufacturer of the Lactometer (Test of Milk), code SCL248/040. It is made at the company's own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India, and sold factory-direct to schools, dairies and distributors in India and international markets.

Glass Pipettes Graduated (Product Code: SCL249/041) are 5 ml measuring pipettes of clear borosilicate glass used to draw and deliver measured volumes of reagents in biology and chemistry practicals. Graduated along the stem, they let students dispense any part-volume up to 5 ml, and the heat- and chemical-resistant glass withstands reagents and repeated washing. They are made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer of chemistry lab glassware in India, at its own factory in Ambala.

Specifications

What Are the Graduated Pipettes Used For?

Graduated pipettes are the tool of choice whenever a practical asks for a set volume of liquid: adding a fixed amount of Benedict’s or biuret reagent to each test tube, making a dilution series of starch or sugar solution, or dispensing equal volumes of enzyme into tubes kept at different temperatures. Using the same volume in every tube is what makes the results of enzyme activity practicals comparable, and a 5 ml pipette covers the small volumes these experiments usually call for.

Always draw liquid with a pipette filler, never by mouth. Hold the pipette vertically, read the bottom of the meniscus at eye level, and release the liquid slowly against the inside wall of the receiving vessel. Rinse the pipette with a little of the solution first if it was last used for something else, and flush it with water straight after reagents such as Benedict’s so that nothing dries inside the narrow tip — a simple habit that keeps this biology lab equipment reading true for years.

OEM Manufacturer

Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, trading as ScienceLab, is the OEM (original equipment manufacturer) of these graduated pipettes and produces them at its own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. Schools, colleges and research laboratories order factory-direct, so questions about capacity, marking and quantities are answered by the people who make the glassware. Distributors and importers can ask us for a single quotation covering mixed glassware consignments. Read our company profile for background.

Find more glassware in the Biology Lab section.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the capacity of the Glass Pipettes Graduated?
Each of the Glass Pipettes Graduated holds 5 ml, graduated along the stem so that smaller part-volumes can be drawn and delivered. For fractions of a millilitre or for larger volumes, the smaller and larger graduated pipettes listed above are separate items.

What is the graduation interval?
The graduation interval of the Glass Pipettes Graduated is not stated in our current product details. Ask us on the contact page and we will confirm the marking of the 5 ml pipettes being quoted before you place an order.

Can students pipette by mouth?
No. Students should never draw liquid into the Glass Pipettes Graduated by mouth, because this risks swallowing reagents or microbes. Use a bulb or pump-type pipette filler every time, and hold the pipette vertically when reading the meniscus.

Can the Glass Pipettes Graduated be dried in an oven?
The borosilicate glass of the Glass Pipettes Graduated is heat resistant, but measuring glassware is best air-dried or dried at moderate temperatures. Repeated strong heating can affect volume accuracy over time, so avoid putting the pipettes in a very hot oven.

Is a calibration certificate available?
Calibration-certificate availability for the Glass Pipettes Graduated should be raised with us at enquiry stage. Tell us the documentation your laboratory needs and we will confirm what can accompany the 5 ml pipettes supplied in your batch.

Brush (Product Code: SCL282/046) is a plastic-bodied cleaning brush used to scrub glassware and apparatus clean after practicals in school, college and training laboratories. Lab assistants keep it by the sink because food tests, stains and culture work leave films that a rinse alone will not shift. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, as part of its range as a lab consumables supplier in India.

Key Details

What Is the Lab Cleaning Brush Used For?

After a session, empty the apparatus, rinse out loose material, and then work warm water and laboratory detergent over the inside surfaces with the brush. Pay attention to the base and shoulders of vessels, where precipitates from Benedict’s tests or dried stain collect. Finish with a tap-water rinse and a final rinse in distilled water, then leave items upside down to drain.

Good cleaning habits are an everyday part of lab equipment maintenance in India's school laboratories and prevent carry-over that can spoil the next group’s results. Use gentle pressure on thin glassware and never force the brush into a neck that is too narrow for it. It also helps to keep one brush for chemical residues and another for biological material, labelled so they are not mixed up.

Supplier

ScienceLab is the trading name of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, an Ambala, Haryana company that supplies this brush together with glassware, apparatus and consumables for educational laboratories. Ordering cleaning supplies with the rest of a lab list means one quotation and one delivery for the whole practical set-up. See the company profile for more.

China Dish (Product Code: SCL287/048) is a round, white porcelain evaporating dish used to drive water off a solution so that the dissolved solid remains or crystallises, in school, college and technical labs. Its 3 inch diameter and pouring spout suit student-scale work, and crystals show up clearly against the chemical-resistant white porcelain. This evaporating dish for lab use in India and abroad is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India.

Specifications

What Is the China Dish Used For?

A common first practical is recovering salt from a salt solution: the solution is filtered, poured into the dish and heated gently until most of the water has gone, leaving white crystals. In crystallisation activities for school classes, a warm saturated solution of copper sulphate is concentrated in the dish and then left to cool so that blue crystals grow. Biology students use the same dish to concentrate plant extracts or to dry small samples before weighing.

Support the dish on a tripod with a wire gauze and heat it steadily rather than fiercely; when only a little liquid remains, lower the flame to stop the solid spitting. The spout lets you pour off the remaining liquid or decant a solution without dribbling down the outside. Lift a hot dish with tongs and let it cool on a heat-proof mat, not on a cold wet bench.

OEM Manufacturer

Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, trading as ScienceLab, is the OEM (original equipment manufacturer) of this china dish and produces it at its own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. The company is a registered MSME manufacturer (Udyam UDYAM-HR-01-0003714) and ships export orders under Importer-Exporter Code AAECJ8618A issued by the DGFT.

What is the spout on the china dish for?
The spout on the china dish lets you pour off remaining liquid, decant a solution or transfer a concentrate cleanly, so nothing dribbles down the outside of the dish and onto the flame or the bench.

Can the china dish be heated over a flame?
Yes, the china dish can be heated for evaporation, as porcelain dishes routinely are. Heat gradually on a wire gauze and avoid sudden temperature changes; if you need a stated maximum temperature, ask us before ordering, because none is listed.

Which chemicals can be used in the china dish?
The china dish is made of chemical-resistant porcelain, so it suits the salt solutions and reagents used in school and college practicals. For unusual or strongly corrosive chemicals, check with us before use.

How do I remove crystal residues from the china dish?
To clean the china dish, let it cool, soak it in warm water to dissolve the crystal residue, then wash it with detergent and rinse with distilled water. Avoid scraping the porcelain with sharp metal tools.
