Sach's Water Culture Mineral Deficiency Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India

Sach's Water Culture Mineral Deficiency (Product Code: SLE/EBT/23) is a set of eight tubes of culture material used to grow plants in liquid media that each lack one mineral element, so students can compare deficiency symptoms against a complete-medium control in botany practicals. Each tube holds sufficient material to prepare four litres of liquid medium, which makes the set a ready plant growth experiment kit for senior school and college mineral-nutrition lessons. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India.

Specifications

Contents of the set:

• Complete medium (control)

What Is the Sach's Water Culture Set Used For?

Each tube is dissolved in water to make its own culture solution, and the eight solutions are placed in separate, clearly labelled culture vessels. Seedlings of a fast-growing species are supported so that their roots hang in the solution, and the vessels are kept side by side under the same light and temperature. Over the following weeks students record height, leaf colour, leaf size and root growth, then compare each deficient plant with the complete-medium control. Typical observations include yellowing of older leaves where nitrogen is missing and pale young leaves where iron is missing.

For clearer results, cover the culture vessels to keep light off the roots and reduce algal growth, top up with water as it evaporates, and aerate the solutions gently if possible. Running the practical as a whole-class project, with one group responsible for each medium, turns the set into shared plant biology lab equipment for a full unit on mineral nutrition.

Supplier

Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited trades as ScienceLab from Ambala, Haryana, India, and supplies this water-culture set to schools, colleges and distributors in India and international markets. It can be quoted together with the glassware and growing trays the experiment needs, so a department receives everything for the practical in one consignment.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the Sach's Water Culture Mineral Deficiency set contain?
The Sach's Water Culture Mineral Deficiency set contains eight tubes: seven media that each lack one mineral – phosphorus, nitrogen, calcium, potassium, magnesium, iron or sulphur – and one tube of complete medium that acts as the control for the experiment.

How much culture solution does each tube of the Sach's water culture set make?
Each tube in the Sach's Water Culture Mineral Deficiency set contains sufficient material to prepare four litres of liquid medium, so one set gives eight separate culture solutions for a full side-by-side comparison of mineral deficiencies.

Are culture jars, seeds or supports included with the Sach's water culture set?
No. The Sach's Water Culture Mineral Deficiency set consists of the eight tubes of material only; culture vessels, seedlings and supports are not listed. They are arranged separately, so contact us if you would like vessels quoted with the set.

Why does the Sach's water culture set include a complete-medium tube?
The complete-medium tube in the Sach's Water Culture Mineral Deficiency set is the control. Plants grown in it show normal growth, so any difference seen in the other seven vessels can be linked to the single mineral missing from that medium.

What is the shelf life of the Sach's Water Culture Mineral Deficiency set?
Shelf life depends on the chemical, its grade and storage conditions, so no single expiry period applies to the Sach's Water Culture Mineral Deficiency set. Ask us for the expiry date of the batch you are quoted, and keep unused tubes closed, labelled, cool and dry.

Can one Sach's water culture set serve several student groups?
Each medium in the Sach's Water Culture Mineral Deficiency set makes four litres, so depending on the size of your culture vessels one set may be shared across a few set-ups. For many parallel groups, order one set per group.

Who supplies the Sach's Water Culture Mineral Deficiency set?
The Sach's Water Culture Mineral Deficiency set is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, Haryana, India. Institutions and distributors in India and international markets can request a quotation with the number of sets and the delivery location.
