Mitochondrion Model
Mitochondrion Model (Product Code: SLE/ECB/07) is an enlarged organelle model used to teach the structure of the mitochondrion and its role in cellular respiration in senior school and college biology. It magnifies a mitochondrion, normally about 3 microns long, 190,000 times, and its base carries a 1,000,000X membrane relief plus a citric acid cycle schematic. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India, and is a useful piece of cell biology equipment in India.

What Is the Mitochondrion Model Used For?
In lessons on cellular respiration the model shows why the inner membrane is folded into cristae, giving a large surface for the reactions that release energy, and where the matrix sits in which the citric acid cycle runs. With the cycle moulded on the base, the teacher can move from the organelle to its chemistry without switching to a separate chart, and the 1,000,000X relief brings the membrane subunits into view for more advanced classes.
It also makes a good scale exercise: students multiply the real length of 3 microns by 190,000 and compare the answer with the model's length of about 58 cm. Pairing the model with a respiration practical, such as yeast fermentation, helps students connect what they measure at the bench with the structure that makes it happen.
OEM Manufacturer
The Mitochondrion Model is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, trading as ScienceLab, as the OEM (original equipment manufacturer) at the company's own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. Colleges, schools, dealers and importers buy it from the manufacturer rather than from a stockist, so questions about the model, repeat orders and spare parts go straight to the people who make it — ask us. Background on the company is on our company profile.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much has the Mitochondrion Model been enlarged?
The Mitochondrion Model shows a mitochondrion enlarged 190,000 times. A real mitochondrion is normally about 3 microns long, so the model reveals internal detail that no school light microscope can show, at a size the whole class can study.
What is shown on the base of the Mitochondrion Model?
The base of the Mitochondrion Model carries two moulded reliefs: a 1,000,000X cross-section through the membrane and subunits, and a simplified schematic of the citric acid cycle. Together they link the organelle's structure with the chemistry it carries out.
Which internal parts can students identify on the Mitochondrion Model?
On the Mitochondrion Model students can identify the two membrane walls, the cristae, subunits, matrix and granules. Seeing the folded cristae in three dimensions makes it easier to explain why the inner membrane has such a large surface area.
How much space does the Mitochondrion Model need?
The Mitochondrion Model measures approximately 58 x 28 x 20 cm (23 x 11 x 8 in) and weighs 4 kg. It needs a firm bench or cupboard shelf and should be lifted with both hands when moved between rooms.
Is a key card included with the Mitochondrion Model, and what is it made of?
Neither a key card nor the construction material of the Mitochondrion Model is listed in our current product information. Please ask through our contact page and we will confirm both before you order.
Who manufactures the Mitochondrion Model?
The Mitochondrion 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 deal directly with the manufacturer for quotations and repeat orders of the model.
Can the Mitochondrion Model be ordered in quantity or for export?
Yes. The Mitochondrion Model is supplied to colleges, schools and distributors in India and international markets. Include product code SLE/ECB/07, the quantity and the delivery destination in your enquiry so that the quotation covers packing and shipping.
