Fusion Tube (Product Code: MSRC1066) is a short, rimless tube of heat-proof borosilicate glass 3.3, 75 mm long, used for strongly heating very small amounts of a substance. In organic chemistry practicals it is the standard vessel for the sodium fusion (Lassaigne’s) test and, paired with a capillary, for boiling point determination of small liquid samples. Senior school, college and university chemistry labs buy it in quantity, and it is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, a chemistry consumables supplier in India that also provides the burners and holders used with it.

Specifications

Typical Use

For the Lassaigne’s test, a small piece of sodium and a little of the organic compound are heated in the fusion tube until it glows red, and the hot tube is then plunged into distilled water in a dish so that it cracks and releases the fused mass. The filtered extract is tested for nitrogen, sulphur and halogens. Because the tube is deliberately broken, each determination uses a fresh one, so labs normally keep a good stock on hand. This step involves reactive sodium and must be done under teacher supervision with eye protection.

For boiling point work, a few drops of the liquid are placed in the fusion tube, a capillary sealed at one end is dropped in open end down, and the assembly is tied to a thermometer and heated in a Thiele tube or melting point apparatus. The small bore keeps sample use low and gives even heating. Many labs order these tubes from the same lab glassware supplier in India as their test tubes and capillaries, so the sizes are consistent from batch to batch.

Supplier

Fusion tubes are part of the glass consumables that Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited supplies under its ScienceLab trading name from Ambala, Haryana. Ordering them together with burners, holders and thermometers from one source keeps a practical kit complete. Company details are on the ScienceLab profile page.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size is the fusion tube?
It is 75 mm long with an 8 mm outer diameter and has no rim at the mouth.

What glass is it made from?
Heat-proof borosilicate glass 3.3, which tolerates direct flame heating and is chemical resistant. The glass is clear, so the contents stay visible while heating.

Can the tubes be reused?
In the sodium fusion test the tube is broken on purpose, so it is single use. Tubes used for boiling point work can be cleaned and reused if they are intact and free from residue.

Is this the same as a capillary tube?
No. The fusion tube holds the sample; a much narrower capillary tube is placed inside it for boiling point determination. Both are listed separately.

How many tubes come in a pack?
Pack quantities are confirmed with each quotation. Please state the number of tubes you need through our contact page.

Do you ship to institutions outside India?
Yes. Fusion tubes are supplied to buyers in India and international markets; mention your destination so packing for fragile glassware can be arranged.

Capillary Tube (Product Code: MSRC1073) is a fine-bore glass tube, 100 mm long with a diameter of 1.3-1.6 mm, used where only a tiny quantity of sample is needed. Its main job in teaching and quality-control labs is melting point determination of solid organic compounds, and it is also used for boiling point checks and for spotting samples in chromatography. Chemistry departments, pharmacy colleges and testing labs order it in bulk from Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, which supplies it as a chemistry lab instruments supplier alongside the matching melting point apparatus.

Specifications

Typical Use

To find a melting point, one end of the capillary is sealed in a small flame if it is open, the dry powdered sample is tapped into the tube to a short, compact column, and the tube is placed in a melting point apparatus or tied beside the bulb of a thermometer in a Thiele tube. The clear glass lets the student see the exact moment the solid starts to liquefy and when it has fully melted, which is how purity is judged in organic preparations. Keep the sample column short and well packed for a sharp reading.

The same tubes are handy for applying small, tight spots of solution in a paper chromatography kit for school practicals, and a capillary sealed at one end sits inside a fusion tube for boiling point work. Because the sample usually stays fused inside after a melting point run, capillaries are treated as consumables and replaced after each determination; store unused tubes in a closed container so dust does not enter the bore.

Supplier

Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, which trades as ScienceLab from Ambala in Haryana, supplies these capillaries as part of its glass consumables range for teaching and testing labs. Buyers can combine them in one order with melting point apparatus and thermometers. Visit the company profile to learn more about ScienceLab.

Are they open at both ends or sealed at one end?
Please confirm the end finish you need when you enquire. A tube that is open at both ends can easily be sealed at one end in a small burner flame before filling.

Will they fit my melting point apparatus?
Most apparatus state the capillary diameter they accept. Compare it with the 1.3-1.6 mm size here, or send us the model details through the contact page and we will check.

Can a capillary be reused?
For melting points, no — the sample remains fused in the tube, so use a fresh capillary for each reading. This is why labs buy them in larger quantities.

Are they suitable for heating and chemical contact?
Yes. The glass is heat resistant and chemical resistant for normal melting point, boiling point and spotting work.

Can you supply bulk or export orders?
Yes. ScienceLab supplies institutions in India and international markets. Share the quantity and destination for a quotation.

Kipps Apparatus (Product Code: 102/My-26) is a classic-type Kipp gas generator that produces gases such as carbon dioxide, hydrogen sulphide and hydrogen by the action of an acid, mainly hydrochloric acid, on a solid, without any heating. It lets a chemistry teacher or lab assistant draw gas on demand for a whole practical session and stop the reaction simply by closing the outlet. Schools and colleges setting up a Kipp generator in their India lab or abroad can source this 250 ml apparatus made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India.

Specifications

Typical Use

The solid reagent is placed in the upper of the two joined flasks and acid is poured in through the funnel of the top pot, from where it fills the lowest flask and rises to meet the solid. Gas forms as soon as the two are in contact. When the outlet is closed, the gas pressure pushes the acid back down and away from the solid, so the reaction stops by itself; opening the outlet again restarts it. This makes the apparatus ideal for demonstrations such as preparing carbon dioxide from marble chips, hydrogen from zinc, or hydrogen sulphide for qualitative salt analysis.

The outlet is usually connected through rubber tubing to a delivery tube and gas jar, the standard gas collection apparatus in India’s school and college labs. Use granular or lump solids rather than powder so they stay in place, add acid slowly, and run hydrogen sulphide preparation only in a fume cupboard because the gas is toxic. Keep flames away when generating hydrogen. After the session, drain the spent acid safely, rinse all parts with water and let the glassware dry before storage.

Manufacturer

This generator is part of the chemistry apparatus range of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, which operates as ScienceLab from Ambala, Haryana, and makes equipment for school, college and university laboratories. For background on the company, its facilities and its range, see the ScienceLab company profile.

Simple Kipps Appliances (Product Code: 105/My-26) is a compact, 6 ml gas generator built on the same working principle as the classic Kipp’s apparatus, scaled down so that students can prepare a gas at their own bench. It runs on very small amounts of reagents, which keeps each experiment economical, and its simple construction is designed to keep risk as low as possible. It is a practical addition to a chemistry teaching kit for India’s secondary schools and junior colleges, made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India.

Specifications

Typical Use

A small quantity of the solid reagent goes into the tapered side-tube test tube, the safety tube and glass tube are fitted, and a little dilute acid is added so that gas is released through the side tube. The Hoffman screw clamp on the outlet controls the flow: tightening it stops the gas leaving, the pressure builds and pushes the liquid away from the solid so the reaction slows and stops, and loosening it starts the flow again. Students can therefore see the self-regulating Kipp principle in their own hands rather than only in a teacher demonstration.

Because it uses only a few millilitres of acid, the apparatus suits class practicals where many groups work at once, and it reduces the volume of spent solution to dispose of. As useful chemistry lab equipment for schools in India, it works well for simple gas tests such as bubbling the gas through a test reagent or holding a glowing or burning splint at the outlet. Students should wear eye protection, add acid slowly, and rinse all parts with water after each session.

Manufacturer

Simple Kipps Appliances is produced under the ScienceLab name by Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited of Ambala, Haryana. The company is a registered MSME whose major activity is manufacturing (Udyam UDYAM-HR-01-0003714), and its export shipments are handled under Importer-Exporter Code AAECJ8618A issued by the DGFT.

Hydrogen Spectrum Set (Product Code: SCL/AG26-108) is a three-unit set of a hydrogen-filled discharge tube, its power supply unit and a support rod assembly, used to produce the line spectrum of hydrogen for study in college and senior school physics laboratories. The self-contained power unit delivers 3kV at 3mA, and the tube’s metal end cap is fully hidden to protect users from accidental contact. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India.

Specifications

What Is the Hydrogen Spectrum Set Used For?

When the power unit is switched on, the high voltage makes the hydrogen in the capillary glow. Viewed through a direct-vision spectroscope, diffraction grating or prism spectrometer, the light splits into a few sharp coloured lines, red, blue-green and violet, instead of a continuous rainbow. This line spectrum is the classic evidence that electrons in atoms occupy fixed energy levels, and it leads directly to the Balmer series and the Rydberg equation.

Set the tube upright in the rubber socket, clamp its top in the horizontal rod, and line the glowing capillary up with the slit of your spectrometer to measure line positions. Always switch off before inserting or removing a tube, let the tube cool after use, and keep the session under teacher supervision because the unit works at 3kV.

What to Specify When Ordering

• Your mains supply, as the input voltage is not stated in the listing; we will confirm it before quoting.
• Whether spare hydrogen discharge tubes should be quoted with the set.
• Any spectroscope or spectrometer needed to view and measure the lines.

Microscope Travelling (Vernier) (Product Code: SCL/AG26-113) is a vernier travelling microscope used to measure small distances accurately on two axes, horizontal and vertical, in college and senior school physics practicals. A x10 eyepiece and x3 objective ride on brass electroplated main and vernier scales reading 0-165mm horizontally and 0-120mm vertically, over a heavy cast iron base with three levelling screws. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India.

Specifications

What Is the Vernier Travelling Microscope Used For?

A travelling microscope measures distances too small or too delicate for a ruler or calliper, without touching the object. Typical physics practical equipment tasks include measuring the diameters of Newton’s rings, the bore of a capillary tube for surface tension and viscosity experiments, the real and apparent depth of a glass block to find its refractive index, and the thickness of thin wires or cover slips.

Level the instrument first with the spirit level and levelling screws, then focus on the object and set the cross-wire on one edge. Take the scale and vernier reading, move the carriage to the opposite edge and read again; the difference is the distance. Always approach each edge from the same direction to avoid backlash, and return the microscope to its protective case after use.

What to Specify When Ordering

• Confirm the scale ranges (0-120mm vertical, 0-165mm horizontal) suit your experiments.
• Ask us to confirm the vernier least count if your practical manual specifies one.
• Number of instruments, and any Newton’s rings or capillary apparatus to be quoted with them.
