Photosynthesis Apparatus Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India

Photosynthesis Apparatus (Product Code: SLE/EBT/19) is a panel-mounted teaching apparatus used to measure and collect the gas evolved by aquatic plants during photosynthesis in school and college biology laboratories. Students read the gas volume in a calibrated capillary tube and draw the gas off for analysis with plastic syringes, all fixed on a compact 190mm x 150mm plastic panel. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India, as a photosynthesis experiment kit for class practicals.

What Is the Photosynthesis Apparatus Used For?

The apparatus turns the rate of photosynthesis into a number students can record. A freshly cut sprig of pondweed is placed in water in the apparatus and lit by a lamp; as the plant photosynthesises it gives off gas, which collects in the calibrated capillary tube where the length of the gas column is read over a fixed time. Repeating the reading with the lamp at different distances, or with the water at different temperatures, turns a simple observation into an investigation of limiting factors with results that can be graphed and compared between groups.

Once enough gas has collected, the plastic syringes let students draw it off so it can be analysed separately. For steadier data, allow the plant a few minutes to settle under each new condition before timing, keep the water temperature constant when light is the variable, and use a stem with a freshly cut end. As a piece of plant biology lab equipment it suits both class practicals and coursework investigations.

OEM Manufacturer

ScienceLab is the trading name of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, the OEM (original equipment manufacturer) of this Photosynthesis Apparatus. The company produces it at its own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India, and sells it factory-direct to schools, colleges, dealers and importers rather than through a trading intermediary.

Because the maker handles every order itself, questions about repeat class sets or replacement parts such as syringes go straight to the people who build the apparatus — just ask us. Read more about the company on the company profile.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the Photosynthesis Apparatus measure?
The Photosynthesis Apparatus measures the gas evolved by aquatic plants during photosynthesis. The gas collects in a calibrated capillary tube, where students read its volume, so the rate of gas production can be compared under different light or temperature conditions.

What are the plastic syringes on the Photosynthesis Apparatus for?
The plastic syringes on the Photosynthesis Apparatus are used to draw off the gas collected from the aquatic plant, so that it can be taken out of the capillary tube and analysed separately by the students.

Are a plant and a lamp included with the Photosynthesis Apparatus?
No plant material or light source is listed with the Photosynthesis Apparatus. Schools normally use a common aquatic plant such as pondweed and a bench lamp; mention any accessories you need on the contact page and we will advise.

How big is the Photosynthesis Apparatus?
The Photosynthesis Apparatus is mounted on a plastic panel measuring 190mm x 150mm, about 19 cm by 15 cm, so it sits comfortably on a student bench and several units can run side by side in one practical.

What are the capillary graduations, and is a calibration certificate available?
The graduation interval of the Photosynthesis Apparatus capillary tube is not stated in our listing, and calibration certificate availability should be discussed with us before ordering. Please ask through the contact page and we will confirm.

Who manufactures the Photosynthesis Apparatus?
The Photosynthesis Apparatus is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab) as the OEM, at its own factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. Quotations, repeat orders and spare-part enquiries are handled directly by the manufacturer.

How should the Photosynthesis Apparatus be cleaned?
After each practical, flush the capillary tube and syringes of the Photosynthesis Apparatus with clean water, drain them fully and let the panel dry before storage. This stops algae and deposits building up and keeps the capillary easy to read.

Can the Photosynthesis Apparatus be ordered in class sets?
Yes. The Photosynthesis Apparatus is supplied in class-set quantities to schools, colleges, dealers and importers in India and international markets. State the number of units and the delivery destination so the quotation can be prepared correctly.
