The Colorimeter (Product Code: SLE/CH/110) is a compact bench instrument that measures how strongly a coloured solution absorbs light, so students can link the depth of a colour to the concentration of the substance that causes it. It has been designed for educational establishments such as schools and colleges: it is lightweight, ergonomically shaped to withstand student handling, and fitted with a large display that is easy to read from across a bench. Manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, it is one of the analytical lab instruments India teaching laboratories use to introduce quantitative light-absorption work.

The classic student investigation is a calibration curve: learners prepare a dilution series of a coloured solution, record a reading for each standard, plot reading against concentration, and then use the graph to find the concentration of an unknown sample. The same instrument supports reaction-rate work, where a solution that changes colour or turns cloudy is read at regular intervals, and simple biology practicals that follow a colour change produced by an indicator or an enzyme reaction. Because it gives rapid results and is quick to set up, several groups can share one unit during a busy practical period.
For reliable readings, zero the instrument with a blank of the solvent in the same type of container used for the samples, wipe the clear faces of each cuvette with a lint-free tissue, and always insert the cuvette facing the same way. Using 16mm test tubes directly saves a transfer step when a whole class is measuring many samples. Institutions that source their chemistry lab instruments supplier-direct from us often order transfer pipettes and racks with the colorimeter so each station is complete.
This colorimeter is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, which markets its range under the name ScienceLab. The company is based in Ambala, Haryana, India, and produces teaching and laboratory equipment for schools, colleges and technical institutes. Visit our company profile for details of the business.

What sample containers does the colorimeter accept?
It reads samples in standard or semi-micro cuvettes with a 10mm pathlength, or in 16mm diameter test tubes. Adapters for 10/12 mm test tubes are also available.
Are cuvettes and test tube adapters included?
The standard contents are not listed in our current product notes, so the accessories supplied with each unit will be stated in your quotation. Please mention any adapters you need when you contact us.
Which wavelengths or filters does it offer?
Filter and wavelength details are not given in our present documentation for this model. Ask us for the datasheet before ordering if your syllabus specifies particular wavelengths.
What power supply does it need?
Power details are not listed here. Tell us the country where the instrument will be used and we will confirm the electrical configuration.
Will it stand up to daily student use?
It is designed to withstand student use. Good habits still help: keep liquids out of the sample chamber, wipe up spills immediately and store the unit covered.
Is a calibration certificate available?
Please discuss calibration certificate availability with us when you enquire. For everyday teaching, zeroing against a blank before each session keeps readings consistent.
What warranty applies?
Warranty terms are confirmed at the time of quotation; our team can explain them before you place an order.
What should a school or college include in its enquiry?
State the product code SLE/CH/110, the number of units, the country of use, any accessories such as adapters, and whether the order is for India or international delivery.
