Construction of Parabola

Product Code : SLE/MAT/79

Construction of Parabola (Product Code: SLE/MAT/79) is a plastic triangular plate used to construct a parabola from straight lines of rubber band in senior-secondary maths lessons on conic sections. Teachers and students use it because its equally marked slots — 24 on each side of a 19 cm x 20 cm plate — turn an abstract curve into a hands-on build. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India.

What Is the Construction of Parabola Plate Used For?

The plate shows that a curve can be built entirely from straight lines. Pupils stretch a rubber band from the first slot on one side to the last slot on the other, then from the second slot to the second-last, and continue along the slots. Each band touches the curve as a tangent, and together the bands outline a smooth parabola — the method known as curve stitching, or the envelope of lines.

Students of conic sections can then compare the stitched curve with the focus-and-directrix definition of a parabola, identify its axis of symmetry and discuss why parabolic shapes appear in reflectors and arches. Because the plate is reusable, the construction can be repeated quickly for teacher demonstrations or small-group practicals in a school maths lab.

OEM Manufacturer

Construction of Parabola is made by ScienceLab (Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited), which is the OEM (original equipment manufacturer) of this maths demonstration plate. It is produced at the company’s own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India, so senior-secondary schools, colleges, dealers and importers buy from the maker itself. Extra plates and repeat orders are handled by the manufacturer — ask us. More is on the ScienceLab profile.

Non Magnetic Fraction Disc

Product Code : SLE/MAT/80

Non Magnetic Fraction Disc (Product Code: SLE/MAT/80) is a set of soft foam fraction circles used to teach fractions and equivalent fractions through hands-on games and activities in primary maths. Teachers value its 55 colour-coded, easy-to-grip pieces, which show a whole and every family from halves to tenths so children can see, feel and compare the parts. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India.

Product codeSLE/MAT/80
ManufacturerJain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab) — OEM
Country of originIndia (made in Ambala, Haryana)

What Is the Non Magnetic Fraction Disc Used For?

Fraction circles let children see that two quarters cover exactly the same space as one half. With these foam pieces, a pupil lays one colour over another to find equivalent fractions, compares sizes side by side — one fifth against one sixth — and builds a whole from mixed pieces to discover that the parts add up to one. Colour coding lets children tell the halves from the thirds at a glance.

The soft, easy-to-grip foam suits younger hands and table or floor games, and because the set is non-magnetic it works on any surface without a board. Later, the same pieces support ordering fractions, adding fractions with like and unlike denominators, and introducing decimals through tenths — one reason fraction circles feature in most mathematics lab kits.

OEM Manufacturer

ScienceLab, the brand of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, is the OEM (original equipment manufacturer) of the Non Magnetic Fraction Disc. The sets are made at the company’s own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India, and dispatched factory-direct to schools, tutoring centres, dealers and importers. If a piece goes missing or you need repeat sets, ask us — the manufacturer deals with it directly. See the ScienceLab company profile.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is included in the Non Magnetic Fraction Disc set?
The Non Magnetic Fraction Disc set (SLE/MAT/80) includes 55 proportional soft foam pieces representing a whole, halves, thirds, fourths, fifths, sixths, sevenths, eighths, ninths and tenths. The pieces are colour coded, so each fraction family is easy to identify.

Is the Non Magnetic Fraction Disc magnetic?
No. As its name states, the Non Magnetic Fraction Disc is a soft foam set without magnets, so the pieces are used on a desk, table or floor rather than on a magnetic whiteboard. If your lessons need board display, discuss it with us through the contact page.

How does the Non Magnetic Fraction Disc teach equivalent fractions?
With the Non Magnetic Fraction Disc, pupils lay smaller pieces over a larger one — for example two quarters on one half — to see that both cover the same area. Colour coding makes it easy to record which combinations are equivalent.

Which pupils is the Non Magnetic Fraction Disc suitable for?
The Non Magnetic Fraction Disc suits primary pupils meeting fractions for the first time and older pupils revising equivalence, ordering and addition of fractions. The soft, easy-to-grip foam is comfortable for young hands; supervise small children during use.

A-Shape Retort Stand Base

Product Code : SLE/CH/01

A-Shape Retort Stand Base (Product Code: SLE/CH/01) is a heavy cast iron base with an A-shaped footprint that forms the foundation of a retort stand, keeping clamps, rings and glassware steady on the bench. The base is finished in blue paint, sits on rubber feet and has a 10 x 1.5 mm tapped hole to receive the support rod. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, for school, college and research labs that need a dependable retort stand for lab work in India and abroad.

Specifications

ParameterDetail
MaterialCast iron
FinishBlue paint
Rod fixingHole tapped 10 x 1.5 mm
FeetRubber feet
Version 1 (side length / rod)150 mm / 600 x 10 mm
Version 2 (side length / rod)150 mm / 700 x 10 mm

Typical Use

The wide A-shaped footprint resists tipping when a flask, condenser or separating funnel is clamped away from the rod. Screw the rod firmly into the tapped hole, then add boss heads and clamps from the bottom up, keeping the heaviest load over the base rather than beyond its edge. The shorter rod suits routine filtration, burette work and heating over a burner; the longer rod gives headroom for distillation set-ups or when two clamps must be stacked.

The rubber feet protect bench tops and reduce sliding on smooth laminate. Wipe off chemical splashes promptly to protect the painted finish, and check that the rod remains tight in the thread before each practical session. Combined with a clamp and boss head, the base becomes the standard lab stand clamp boss head arrangement used in most chemistry and physics practicals.

Acid Rain, Weathering & Erosion

Product Code : SLE/CH/02

Acid Rain, Weathering & Erosion (Product Code: SLE/CH/02) is a classroom activity kit in which student groups expose naturally occurring and construction materials to an acidic environment and compare them with the same materials kept in ‘normal’ rain, represented by tap water. It links chemistry with environmental studies by showing how acidity speeds up weathering and erosion. The kit is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, as an environmental science kit for schools that want a structured, group-based practical.

Key Details

ParameterDetail
TypeStudent activity kit
TopicEffect of acid rain on weathering and erosion of natural and man-made surfaces
ActivityNaturally occurring and construction materials exposed to an acidic environment
ComparisonSame materials exposed to ‘normal’ rain (tap water)
Teaching materialTeacher’s manual and student copy masters included
Class sizeSufficient materials for 15 groups

Typical Use

Acid rain harms aquatic ecosystems and land areas, and it attacks both natural surfaces, such as the rock faces of mountainous regions, and man-made ones. Stones and metals used in buildings, statues and monuments can be affected, and the rate of weathering and erosion rises quickly as the rain becomes more acidic. This kit turns those ideas into an observation-based practical: each group sets up an acid sample and a tap-water control side by side, records the starting appearance of each material, and returns at intervals to note fizzing, dulling, pitting, colour change or loss of surface.

The student copy masters give a ready worksheet for recording observations, and the teacher’s manual supports planning and discussion. With materials for 15 groups, a full class can work in small teams at the same time, which makes it a practical chemistry experiment kit for middle and secondary classes studying environmental chemistry, rocks and corrosion. Follow the manual for handling the acid, have students wear eye protection and aprons, and keep the tap-water control untouched so the comparison stays fair.

Supplier

Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, which trades as ScienceLab, is based in Ambala, Haryana, and supplies teaching kits and laboratory apparatus to schools and colleges. Find out more on the company profile.

Alloy Test Tube and Thermometer Holder

Product Code : SLE/CH/03

Alloy Test Tube and Thermometer Holder (Product Code: SLE/CH/03) is a chrome plated alloy holder with spring-loaded jaws that close on test tubes or thermometers from the smallest sizes up to 25 mm. The spring action grips without the user having to keep squeezing, which helps students hold glassware steadily and keep their hands clear of heat and chemicals. Made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, it is a practical piece of chemistry lab equipment for schools in India and for college teaching labs.

Specifications

ParameterDetail
MaterialAlloy
FinishChrome plated
JawsSpring loaded
Tube size range0–25 mm
HoldsTest tubes and thermometers

Typical Use

The most common job for this holder is gripping a test tube while its contents are warmed over a flame, for example when dissolving a salt, observing a decomposition or checking for a gas. Grip the tube near its mouth, tilt it slightly, point the open end away from everyone and move it gently through the flame so the liquid heats evenly. Because the jaws are sprung, the tube stays secure even when a student adjusts their hold. The same holder can steady a thermometer while a reading is taken from a beaker or tube, keeping the bulb off the glass wall.

The chrome plating resists everyday splashes, but it is still good practice to wipe the jaws after use and let the holder cool before storing it. Check that the spring closes firmly before each session; a weak grip on a hot tube is a hazard. For whole-class practicals, many schools issue one holder per bench along with a rack and brush so each group has a complete heating set.

Atom Activity Model

Product Code : SLE/CH/04

Atom Activity Model (Product Code: SLE/CH/04) is a transparent, durable plastic model that lays out the structure of an atom — the nucleus, the protons, neutrons and electrons that make it up, and the electron layers around it — in a clear graphic form. Because it is transparent, teachers can place it on an overhead projector and show the whole class the same diagram while they build up an explanation. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, as an atom model kit for chemistry and physical science lessons in India and overseas.

Specifications

ParameterDetail
TypeGraphic model of atomic structure
Components shownNucleus; protons, neutrons and electrons; electron layers
MaterialDurable plastic, transparent
ProjectionSuitable for use with an overhead projector
Dimensions150 mm D x 25 mm H
Concepts supportedAtomic numbers, ionic and covalent bonding, electroneutrality, filling of electron layers, definition and calculation of ionic charge

Typical Use

Teachers typically begin with the nucleus, pointing out protons and neutrons and using the proton count to explain how the atomic number identifies an element, and then move outward through the electron layers so students can see the order in which the layers fill. Comparing the number of electrons with the number of protons demonstrates electroneutrality; discussing what happens when an electron is lost or gained then shows how an ion forms and how its charge is worked out. The same layout supports a comparison of ionic bonding, where electrons are transferred, with covalent bonding, where they are shared.

On an overhead projector the transparent body lets the whole class follow each step, which works well for introducing the topic before students attempt worksheet problems. As a chemistry teaching kit item it also suits small-group revision, where students take turns using the model to explain atoms and ions to each other. Store it flat and clean the plastic with a soft, dry cloth to keep it clear for projection.

Manufacturer

The model comes from Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, known by its trading name ScienceLab, an Ambala, Haryana company that develops teaching aids and laboratory apparatus. Read our company profile for more.

Aflatoxin meter

Product Code : SLE/CH/05

Aflatoxin meter (Product Code: SLE/CH/05) is a bench instrument that works on the solid-phase enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) principle to measure the aflatoxin B1 content of samples quantitatively. Used together with an aflatoxin B1 kit, it serves food, feed, edible oil, dairy, pharmaceutical, beverage and wine testing laboratories, as well as teaching labs that cover food safety. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, within its range of analytical lab instruments for India and international markets.

Specifications

ParameterDetail

Working power supply220V ±10%, 50 Hz
Size350 x 270 x 210 mm
Weight9 kg
ApplicationsFood, feed, oils and fats, dairy products, pharmaceuticals, beverages, wine products

Typical Use

Aflatoxins are toxic compounds produced by certain moulds on crops such as grains and oilseeds, and B1 is the one most often monitored. In an ELISA test, the prepared sample extract and kit reagents react in antibody-coated wells; after the washing and colour-development steps set out in the kit instructions, the meter reads the colour intensity at 450 nm and converts the absorbance into an aflatoxin B1 concentration. With a measuring range of 0.05–1 ng/ml (ppb), the instrument is aimed at trace-level screening, and a throughput of 20 pieces per hour suits routine batches in quality-control rooms.

For reliable results, follow the kit’s sample-preparation and timing steps closely, use calibrated pipettes, and run the instrument within its 5–35 °C operating temperature on a stable 220V supply. Because other kits can be used for other toxins, the same meter can grow with a lab’s testing programme. Food microbiology lab equipment set-ups in colleges and feed mills often place this meter alongside a balance, mixer and pipettes so that sample handling and reading happen at one bench.

Manufacturer

ScienceLab is the trading name of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited in Ambala, Haryana. The company is a registered MSME enterprise (Udyam UDYAM-HR-01-0003714), and its export orders are shipped under Importer-Exporter Code AAECJ8618A issued by the DGFT.

Apparatus Melting Point

Product Code : SLE/CH/06

Apparatus Melting Point (Product Code: SLE/CH/06) is an electrically heated instrument for finding the melting point of solid samples packed in capillary tubes, covering temperatures from ambient to 350 °C. Its ergonomic design puts safety and ease of operation first, which makes it well suited to school, college and university teaching labs where students check the purity and identity of organic compounds. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, and forms part of its chemistry lab instruments supplied across India and abroad.

Specifications

ParameterDetail
Temperature rangeAmbient to 350 °C
Heating blockAluminium, with ceramic insulation around it to minimise heat transfer to the casing
ControlsSingle front-panel knob combining the main switch with an arbitrary 0 to 10 scale
Rapid heatingRapid heat switch for reaching higher temperatures quickly
Sample viewingSample tubes illuminated from behind and magnified through a lens
BackgroundRear selector for light or dark background
Electrical supply230V AC, 50/60Hz
Weight1.5 kg
Supplied withInstructions
Optional accessoriesThermometer, capillary tubes, cooling plug

Typical Use

A finely powdered sample is packed into the closed end of a capillary tube, which is placed in the heating block beside the thermometer. Students can use the rapid heat switch to approach the expected value quickly, then turn the control knob down to a lower setting so that the temperature climbs slowly through the melting range. Looking through the lens, with the tube lit from behind, they note the temperature at which the first droplet appears and the point at which the sample is completely liquid. A pure compound melts sharply over a narrow range, while an impure one melts lower and over a wider range, which is why the test is a standard step after recrystallisation.

The rear background selector helps with samples that are hard to see: a dark background suits white crystals and a light background suits coloured ones. Ceramic insulation keeps the outer casing cooler than the block, but the heating area should still be treated as hot until it has cooled, and a cooling plug (available as an accessory) can speed up turnaround between students. Keep the block clean of spilled powder and store the unit in a dry place when not in use.
