Apparatus for Photosynthesis 1 (Product Code: SCL235/018) is a panel-mounted gas collection apparatus used to measure and collect the gas given off by aquatic plants during photosynthesis in biology classrooms and college laboratories. A calibrated capillary tube shows how much gas has been produced, while plastic syringes on a 190 × 150 mm plastic panel draw the gas off for analysis. Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, produces it at its own factory in Ambala, India.

A sprig of pondweed or another aquatic plant is placed in water under a lamp, and the bubbles it releases are guided into the calibrated capillary tube. Students read the length of the gas column at timed intervals, then change one factor at a time — lamp distance, light colour or carbon dioxide supply — to see how the rate of photosynthesis responds.
Once enough gas has gathered, the plastic syringes draw it off so it can be tested, for example with a glowing splint to show that it is rich in oxygen. This makes the apparatus a useful piece of school biology lab equipment for both secondary-school rate investigations and senior plant physiology work. Allow the plant a few minutes to adjust to each new light setting before recording results.
Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, known by its trading name ScienceLab, is the OEM (original equipment manufacturer) of Apparatus for Photosynthesis 1. The capillary tube, syringes and plastic panel are put together at the company’s licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India, and the finished apparatus goes factory-direct to schools, colleges, institutions and dealers. If a syringe or the capillary needs replacing later, ask us — the manufacturer handles such requests itself.

What does Apparatus for Photosynthesis 1 measure?
Apparatus for Photosynthesis 1 measures and collects the gas evolved by aquatic plants during photosynthesis. The volume is read on its calibrated capillary tube, which lets students compare rates when light or carbon dioxide conditions are changed.
How is the collected gas removed for testing?
On Apparatus for Photosynthesis 1, the gas is drawn off with the plastic syringes mounted on the panel. The sample can then be tested, for instance with a glowing splint, to show students that the gas produced in light is rich in oxygen.
What size is the panel of the photosynthesis apparatus?
The capillary tube and plastic syringes of Apparatus for Photosynthesis 1 are mounted on a 190 × 150 mm plastic panel. The compact panel keeps the parts together, so it can be stood beside a beaker of water and a lamp on a normal lab bench.
Are aquatic plants included with the apparatus?
Aquatic plants are not part of the listed contents of Apparatus for Photosynthesis 1, which covers the calibrated capillary tube and plastic syringes on the panel. Schools usually use fresh pondweed obtained for the lesson; ask us if you need other items for the set-up.
Who manufactures Apparatus for Photosynthesis 1?
Apparatus for Photosynthesis 1 is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), the OEM, at its own licensed factory in Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. Buyers receive quotations and after-sales help directly from the manufacturer.
Can you quote Apparatus for Photosynthesis 1 for several schools or for export?
Yes, Apparatus for Photosynthesis 1 can be quoted in class-set quantities for schools, colleges, dealers and importers across India and international markets. Send the product code SCL235/018, the quantity and the destination through the contact page.
