Amoeba Model
Amoeba Model (Product Code: SLE/ECB/13) is a translucent, enlarged model of Amoeba used to teach the structure, feeding and movement of a unicellular protozoan in school zoology and college biology. Its pseudopods are positioned to show the direction of travel, and food vacuoles holding diatoms and bacteria illustrate how the cell feeds. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India, and fits naturally among animal models for a biology lab.

What Is the Amoeba Model Used For?
Amoeba is the classic example of a cell that changes shape to move and feed, and the model makes that process easy to explain. Teachers can trace how the cytoplasm flows into the advancing pseudopods, distinguish the granular inner zone from the clear outer zone, and then point to food vacuoles that already contain diatoms and bacteria to illustrate engulfing prey by phagocytosis. The contractile vacuole leads into a discussion of osmoregulation in freshwater organisms, and the fat droplet gives an example of stored food reserves.
For practical classes, keep the model on the bench while students search pond or hay-infusion samples under the microscope, since live amoebae are slow, colourless and easy to miss. Many schools order it together with a Euglena model so students can compare pseudopod and flagellum movement, and at 2.2 kg it is light enough to carry between classrooms.
OEM Manufacturer
ScienceLab is the brand under which Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited makes the Amoeba Model as its OEM (original equipment manufacturer), at the company's own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. Schools, colleges and overseas importers buy it factory-direct, and follow-up orders or questions about the model are answered by the maker itself — ask us. The company is a registered MSME with manufacturing as its major activity (Udyam UDYAM-HR-01-0003714), and its export orders ship under Importer-Exporter Code AAECJ8618A issued by the DGFT. Further details are on our company profile.

- Euglena Model — a flagellated protist for comparing modes of movement and nutrition.
- Student Monocular Microscope — for finding live amoebae in pond-water samples.
- Microscope Slides Depression — cavity slides that give live protozoa room to move while being observed.
- Visualising Osmosis & Diffusion Investigation — a class activity on membrane transport that explains why the contractile vacuole is needed.

Frequently Asked Questions
What structures does the Amoeba Model include?
The Amoeba Model includes the nucleus, food vacuoles containing diatoms and bacteria, the contractile vacuole, a fat droplet, and granular and clear zones of cytoplasm. Its pseudopods are arranged to show the direction in which the amoeba is moving.
How big is the Amoeba Model?
The Amoeba Model measures 16-1/2 in wide, 10 in high and 8 in deep (42 x 25 x 20 cm) and weighs 2.2 kg, a size that suits front-of-class display in an average classroom and is easy to carry.
Can the Amoeba Model be used to teach osmoregulation?
Yes. The Amoeba Model shows the contractile vacuole, so teachers can use it to explain how a freshwater protozoan collects and expels the water that keeps entering its cell by osmosis.
How should the Amoeba Model be cleaned and stored?
Clean the Amoeba Model with a soft, dry or lightly damp cloth and keep it covered when not in use to reduce dust. Avoid solvents and direct sunlight, which can dull or discolour a translucent finish.
Who manufactures the Amoeba Model?
The Amoeba Model is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), the OEM, at its own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. Institutions and distributors get the model and its quotation directly from the manufacturer.
