Pipette Carousel (Product Code: SLE/ME/24) is a UV-C decontamination carousel used to hold single-channel pipettes and expose them to ultraviolet light to reduce DNA contamination in molecular biology and PCR laboratories. It takes 6 pipettes in a universal holster, surrounds them with a UV-C lamp and mirrored reflector for 360° exposure, and runs a fixed 28-minute cycle on a compact 17 cm footprint. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, a laboratory equipment supplier in India.

Specifications

What Is a UV Pipette Carousel Used For?

Pipette shafts and ejectors pick up invisible traces of DNA and amplified product, which can carry over into later PCR reactions and give false results. Placing the pipettes in the carousel between sessions exposes their outer surfaces to 254 nm UV-C light, which damages residual DNA on those surfaces. It is used in PCR set-up areas, molecular biology teaching labs and forensic-science practicals where clean pipettes matter.

Wipe away any visible spills first, since UV acts only on surfaces the light reaches, then load the pipettes into the holster and start the cycle at the end of each session. UV-C light is harmful to eyes and skin, so never look directly at the lamp while it is on. UV treatment complements, rather than replaces, filtered tips and good bench practice.

What to Specify When Ordering

• Your site mains supply, compared with the listed 100 V, 50 Hz, 1 A rating.
• Number of units needed, remembering each carousel takes 6 single-channel pipettes.
• Whether you want to ask about replacement UV-C lamps (the lamp is rated 2,000 hr).
• Whether a plain, non-UV stand is also needed for everyday pipette storage.

Pipette Carousel Stand (Product Code: SLE/ME/25) is a rotating bench stand used to keep single-channel pipettes upright and within reach in teaching and research laboratories. It holds a set of 6 pipettes on a compact 6-1/4 in diameter base and turns through a full 360°, so any pipette can be brought to the front without reaching across the bench. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM laboratory equipment manufacturer in India, at its own factory in Ambala.

Specifications

What Is a Pipette Carousel Stand Used For?

Micropipettes are best stored upright between uses, so that liquid residue cannot run back into the shaft, and a pipette left lying on the bench is easily knocked, rolled off or mis-set. The carousel keeps a full working set of 6 in their holders, grouped however the user prefers, and a turn of the stand brings the next one round. It is common on biotechnology practical benches, shared school biology lab stations and research workbenches.

Arrange the pipettes in order of volume so students pick the right one first time, and return each pipette with its tip ejected. Many pipette users set adjustable pipettes to their highest volume before storing them to relax the internal spring. Where a class shares one set, the stand also makes it easy to check that all six pipettes are back at the end of a practical.

OEM Manufacturer

The Pipette Carousel Stand is an original ScienceLab product: Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, which trades as ScienceLab, is the OEM and makes it at its own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India.

Metersticks (Product Code: SLE/ME/27) are hardwood measuring sticks used to measure lengths up to a metre in school physics, mathematics and general science laboratories. Each stick has a clear lacquer finish, metric graduations in decimetres, centimetres and millimetres on both edges of one face, and an inch scale in eighths on the other face; they are available with plain ends or metal ends. They are made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India.

Specifications

What Are Metersticks Used For?

A meterstick is the everyday length standard of a science room. Students use it to set the length of a simple pendulum, measure the height of a ramp or inclined plane, record the extension of a spring in a Hooke's law experiment and mark lens and screen positions on an improvised optical bench. In maths lessons it is a staple of mathematics lab equipment, used to measure desks, doorways and the classroom itself and to compare estimates with real values.

Metal ends help protect the ends of the stick from chipping when it is stood on the floor or dropped, which keeps the starting point reliable over years of use; plain ends suit lighter handling and butting two sticks end to end. For accurate readings, stand the stick on its edge so the graduations touch the object, and read at eye level.

What to Specify When Ordering

• End type: plain ends or metal ends.
• Quantity per class, lab group or school.
• Whether the inch-and-eighths edge is useful to your students or a metric-only stick would suit better.
• Other length-measuring items for the same order, such as tapes or trundle wheels for longer distances.

OEM Manufacturer

Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, trading as ScienceLab, makes these metersticks at its own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, and is the OEM rather than a reseller. Schools, colleges, dealers and importers therefore buy factory-direct, with the end type confirmed with the maker at the quotation stage. Follow-on batches for new classrooms are handled by the manufacturer itself. Learn more on the ScienceLab company profile.

Related Measuring Equipment

Length-measuring tools that complement a meterstick:

• Meter Stick, White — a metric-only alternative with a 0.5 cm scale on the reverse.
• Folding Meter Stick — folds away for carrying and storage.
• Half Meter Scale — a shorter scale for bench work.
• Trundle Wheel — measures long distances outdoors.
• Windup Meter Tapes — for field measurements of many metres.

More options are listed in the Measuring category.

Frequently Asked Questions

What graduations are on the Metersticks?
The Metersticks (SLE/ME/27) are graduated in decimetres, centimetres and millimetres along both edges of one face, and in inches and eighths along one edge of the other face, so students can work in metric units and still compare with imperial measurements.

What is the difference between plain-end and metal-end Metersticks?
Metersticks are available with plain ends or metal ends. Metal ends help protect the stick's ends from knocks and wear during frequent use, while plain ends suit lighter classroom handling. State your choice when requesting a quotation.

What are the Metersticks made of?
The Metersticks are made of hardwood with a clear lacquer finish. The cross-section is 1 in wide and 5/16 in thick, which keeps each stick rigid enough to lay flat or stand on edge while readings are taken.

How should Metersticks be stored?
Store Metersticks flat or hanging vertically in a dry place, away from damp floors and heaters, so the hardwood stays straight. Wipe them with a dry or slightly damp cloth; soaking can raise the grain and damage the lacquer finish.

Who manufactures the Metersticks?
Metersticks are manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), the OEM, at its own factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. The company supplies them direct to schools, colleges, dealers and importers in India and international markets.

Fiberglass Tape Measure (Product Code: SLE/ME/28) is a flexible 150 cm measuring tape used to measure curved surfaces, circumferences and body dimensions in biology, physics and maths classes. Its high-strength tape has heat-sealed markings that resist fading, with millimetre graduations on one side and 0.5 cm divisions with coloured decimetre marks on the other. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, a school laboratory equipment supplier in India.

Specifications

What Is a Fiberglass Tape Measure Used For?

A flexible tape follows curves where a rigid ruler cannot. Classes use it to find the circumference of a cylinder or ball when estimating pi, to record the girth of tree trunks in ecology fieldwork, and to take head, wrist or arm-span measurements in human variation practicals that are a regular part of school biology lab work. It is equally handy for measuring the length of a curved track or the outline of a leaf.

The two readouts suit different jobs: the horizontal millimetre side is easy to read along a bench, while the vertical side with coloured decimetre marks is convenient when the tape runs upright and helps younger students count in tens. Keep the tape snug but not pulled hard, start from the zero end, and wind it loosely after use so it does not kink.

Supplier

ScienceLab, the trading name of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited in Ambala, Haryana, supplies this fiberglass tape as part of a wider measuring range for schools, colleges and dealers in India and international markets. It can be ordered together with rulers, metre sticks and trundle wheels in one enquiry. Company details are on the ScienceLab profile.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long is the Fiberglass Tape Measure?
The Fiberglass Tape Measure (SLE/ME/28) is 150 cm long. That length covers most bench, body and object measurements in a classroom; for field distances of many metres, a windup meter tape or a trundle wheel is more practical.

How is the Fiberglass Tape Measure graduated?
One side of the Fiberglass Tape Measure is graduated in millimetres with 0.5 cm markings in a horizontal readout. The reverse is graduated in 0.5 cm steps with coloured decimetre markings in a vertical readout, giving two ways to read the same length.

Will the markings on the Fiberglass Tape Measure fade?
The Fiberglass Tape Measure has heat-sealed markings, described as ensuring accuracy and eliminating fade. Wiping the tape clean and dry after use, especially after outdoor work, helps keep both sides easy to read through repeated class use.

Why choose a Fiberglass Tape Measure instead of a steel tape?
A Fiberglass Tape Measure is flexible and has no sharp metal edges, so it wraps around curved objects, tree trunks and students' arms comfortably. That makes it the usual choice for circumference and girth measurements in school practicals.

Ruler, SI Relationship (Product Code: SLE/ME/29) is a teaching ruler used to show how the SI length units, decimetres, centimetres and millimetres, relate to one another in primary and secondary science and maths lessons. One edge is laid out to show that relationship, the other is calibrated and numbered in millimetres, and molded-in handles make it easy to hold, a useful addition to mathematics lab kits. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India.

Key Details

What Is an SI Relationship Ruler Used For?

Pupils often learn that 10 mm make a centimetre and 10 cm make a decimetre as facts to memorise. The relationship edge of this ruler makes those conversions visible: learners can see one decimetre divided into centimetres and each centimetre divided into millimetres. Teachers use it for unit-conversion lessons, estimation games and to introduce the decimetre, a unit students rarely meet elsewhere.

Once the idea is clear, students turn to the millimetre edge for real measurements: the sides of shapes, the length of a leaf or seed, or a line on a graph. Holding the ruler by its molded-in handles keeps fingers off the scales, and reading at eye level avoids parallax errors.

OEM Manufacturer

Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, which trades as ScienceLab, manufactures the Ruler, SI Relationship as the OEM at its licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. Buyers get it from the manufacturer directly, not through a middleman, which keeps communication simple for schools, dealers and importers ordering class quantities. Follow-up orders to match an earlier purchase are handled by the manufacturer itself. Read more on the ScienceLab company profile.

• Ruler, Plastic, Blackboard, 100cm — a large ruler for teacher demonstrations.
• Caliper Vernier (Metal) — for readings finer than a millimetre.

Find more in the Measuring equipment category.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does SI Relationship mean on the Ruler, SI Relationship?
On the Ruler, SI Relationship (SLE/ME/29), one edge is marked to show how decimetres, centimetres and millimetres relate within the SI metric system. Students see each larger unit divided into the next smaller one instead of memorising conversion factors.

Which edge of the Ruler, SI Relationship is used for measuring?
The Ruler, SI Relationship has a second edge calibrated and numbered in millimetres for ordinary measurement. Students can explore unit relationships on one edge, then turn the ruler to take real readings of objects, drawings and specimens on the other.

Will the markings on the Ruler, SI Relationship wear off?
The markings on the Ruler, SI Relationship are hot-stamped, easy to read and described as markings that will not wear off. That suits rulers shared between classes year after year, where heavy handling would rub away surface print.

What are the handles on the Ruler, SI Relationship for?
The molded-in handles on the Ruler, SI Relationship let students and teachers lift and position it without covering the scales with their fingers, which helps when demonstrating unit relationships to a group or holding the ruler steady on a bench.

Who manufactures the Ruler, SI Relationship?
The Ruler, SI Relationship is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), which is the OEM and makes it at its own factory in Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India, for schools, colleges, dealers and importers in India and international markets.

Trundle Wheel (Product Code: SLE/ME/30) is a wheeled distance-measuring tool used to measure long distances on the ground and to demonstrate the relationship between circumference and diameter in school maths and physics lessons. Its wheel circumference measures one metre, its scale is graduated in 1 cm divisions, and an audible, non-wearing clicker sounds with each 1 m revolution in either direction. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India.

Specifications

What Is a Trundle Wheel Used For?

Students walk the wheel along a corridor, playground or sports field and count the clicks, each one a metre, then read the leftover part-metre from the 1 cm scale at the finish. It is the practical way to measure a running track for speed experiments, map the school grounds in geography, or check how good pupils are at estimating distance, which makes it useful school physics lab equipment as well as a maths tool.

In maths, the wheel shows the circumference formula in action: measure its diameter with a ruler, divide the one-metre circumference by it and the answer comes out close to pi. For accurate readings, set the wheel's starting point on the start line, keep the handle upright and walk steadily in a straight line.

OEM Manufacturer

Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited trades as ScienceLab and is the OEM of this trundle wheel, producing it at its own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. Schools, education departments, dealers and importers buy it factory-direct, and questions about spare parts are answered by the manufacturer, so just ask us.

The full Measuring category includes rulers, tapes, timers and thermometers.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the Trundle Wheel measure distance?
The Trundle Wheel (SLE/ME/30) has a circumference of one metre, so each full revolution covers one metre and triggers an audible click. Count the clicks while walking, then read any remaining part-metre from the scale graduated in 1 cm divisions.

Does the Trundle Wheel click in both directions?
Yes. The Trundle Wheel's audible, non-wearing clicking device is activated with each 1 m revolution in either direction, so rolling backwards is heard too, and students can correct an overshoot by subtracting the extra clicks.

Will the Trundle Wheel slip on smooth floors?
The wheel edges of the Trundle Wheel are designed to grip smooth surfaces and prevent slippage as it rolls. That keeps readings dependable on corridors, halls and hard courts as well as on outdoor paths and playgrounds.

How is the Trundle Wheel used to teach circumference and diameter?
Students measure the Trundle Wheel's diameter with a ruler and compare it with its one-metre circumference; the ratio comes out close to pi. It links a real object to the formula for the circumference of a circle.

Who manufactures the Trundle Wheel?
The Trundle Wheel is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), the OEM, at its own licensed factory in Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India, and supplied factory-direct to schools, colleges, dealers and importers in India and international markets.
