In an alpha helix, the backbone of a polypeptide chain twists into a right-handed coil. Each backbone C=O group forms a hydrogen bond with the N–H group of the amino acid four positions further along, and the side chains point outwards from the coil. Ribbon diagrams in textbooks hide most of this detail, so building the helix by hand makes the pattern far easier to see.
Students usually assemble the coil in pairs or small groups, then trace where the hydrogen bonds sit and how the side chains project. Because the joins are firm, the finished helix can travel round the class for discussion, for example when comparing it with a flat beta sheet. After the lesson, sorting each piece back into its compartment keeps the kit complete for the next biochemistry group.
Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, which trades as ScienceLab, is the OEM (original equipment manufacturer) of the Alpha Helix Molecular Model Kit. The kits are produced at the company's own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India, and sold factory-direct to schools, universities, dealers and importers.

| Manufacturer | Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab) — OEM |
| Country of origin | India (made in Ambala, Haryana) |
A polypeptide is a chain of amino acids joined by peptide bonds, each formed in a condensation reaction that releases water. The order of amino acids along the chain decides how it folds and therefore what the finished protein does. Building the chain unit by unit shows the repeating backbone and the peptide bond that links one unit to the next.
A typical lesson starts with students identifying a single peptide unit, then joining all five into a short chain with the links. Teachers can then ask how changing one unit might alter the shape and function of the molecule, which leads naturally into protein folding and enzymes. The single tool included in this biology model kit should stay with the parts so the next group has everything it needs.
ScienceLab is the brand under which Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited makes the Polypeptide Molecular Model Kit as its OEM (original equipment manufacturer). The kits are made at the company's own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India, and go factory-direct to schools, colleges, dealers and importers.

With 45 atom-parts and 46 NV links, this 3D science model kit lets students see how a glucose ring and a fructose ring join to form table sugar, making it a clear visual aid for carbohydrate lessons. This model is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India.
| Parameter | Detail |
|---|---|
| Model type | Self-assembly molecular model kit |
| Molecule | Sucrose — one molecule, shown in 3D |
| Atom parts | 45 |
| NV links | 46 |
| Tool | 1 |
| Product code | SLE/Mo/09 |
| Manufacturer | Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab) — OEM |
| Country of origin | India (made in Ambala, Haryana) |
Sucrose is a disaccharide: one glucose unit and one fructose unit joined by a glycosidic bond, with a molecule of water removed when the bond forms. A sucrose molecule contains 45 atoms of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen, so the 45 atom-parts build one complete molecule, and the 46 links match the number of bonds that hold those atoms together.
Teachers use the model to show the condensation reaction that forms sucrose, its hydrolysis back into glucose and fructose, and why sucrose does not give a positive result in reducing-sugar tests: the glycosidic bond ties up the groups that would otherwise react. Building the two rings separately before joining them makes the structure easier to follow, and the tool supplied should be kept with the parts.
Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, known to customers as ScienceLab, is the OEM (original equipment manufacturer) of the Sucrose Molecular Model. It is made at the company's own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India, and supplied direct to schools, colleges, teacher-training institutes, dealers and importers without a trading middleman.

Mini DNA 22 layer base pair Molecular Model (Product Code: SLE/Mo/10) is a compact DNA model kit used to give students an easy-to-understand introduction to the structure of the DNA double helix. Its 22 base-pair layers are built from abstract, colour-coded parts for the nitrogenous bases, pentagonal sugars and pyramidal phosphates, making it a handy DNA model kit for schools across India. It is produced by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India.
| Parameter | Detail |
|---|---|
| Model | Mini DNA molecular model kit (double helix) |
| Length of helix | 22 base-pair layers (as named) |
| Parts | Abstract-shaped, colour-coded parts |
| Components represented | Nitrogenous bases, pentagonal sugar and pyramidal phosphate |
| Assembled size and part count | Not stated in this listing — ask us |
| Product code | SLE/Mo/10 |
| Manufacturer | Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab) — OEM |
| Country of origin | India (made in Ambala, Haryana) |
The abstract shapes strip away atom-level detail so beginners can focus on the three building blocks of every nucleotide — sugar, phosphate and base — and on how bases pair across the helix. The pentagonal sugar pieces echo the five-membered deoxyribose ring, and the pyramidal phosphates link the sugars along each backbone.
With 22 layers, the finished model follows the helix through about two full turns, so students can see the twist repeat. Teachers use the colour-coding to check complementary pairing (adenine with thymine, guanine with cytosine), to point out that the two strands run in opposite directions, and to separate the strands when introducing replication. Writing the colour key on the board before building saves time.
The Mini DNA 22 layer base pair Molecular Model is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, trading as ScienceLab, which is its OEM (original equipment manufacturer). Production takes place at the company's own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India, and schools, colleges, dealers and importers buy direct from the factory.
Repeat orders for additional classrooms are handled by the manufacturer itself — ask us when you need more kits to add to those already in use. Read about the company on the ScienceLab profile.

Explore the complete Molecule range for more DNA and biomolecule models.
What does "22 layer base pair" mean for this model?
In the Mini DNA 22 layer base pair Molecular Model, each layer is one base pair spanning the two strands, so the finished double helix has 22 stacked base pairs. That length shows the helix twisting through about two full turns.
How are the DNA components shown in the Mini DNA model?
The Mini DNA 22 layer base pair Molecular Model uses abstract, colour-coded parts: nitrogenous bases, pentagonal sugar pieces and pyramidal phosphate pieces. The simplified shapes make the double helix easy to follow for students meeting DNA for the first time.
Is the Mini DNA model suitable for beginners?
Yes, the Mini DNA 22 layer base pair Molecular Model is intended as an easy-to-understand introduction to DNA structure. Its abstract parts avoid atom-by-atom detail, so secondary school students can concentrate on base pairing and the double-helix shape.
Who makes the Mini DNA 22 layer base pair Molecular Model?
Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab) manufactures the Mini DNA 22 layer base pair Molecular Model as the OEM at its own licensed factory in Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India, and quotes buyers directly without a middleman.

The Economy Stream Table Kit (Product Code: SLE/ES/20) lets students model how running water shapes land: they build a sediment slope in a long plastic tray, send a controlled flow down it and watch channels, meanders and deposits form. Its sturdy tray is large enough for a group demonstration or for individual investigations, which makes it a practical environmental science kit for secondary geography, earth science and teacher-training classrooms. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala.
| Parameter | Detail |
|---|---|
| Tray | Heavy plastic, 48 in x 14 in x 3 in, with drain |
| Outlet | Outlet assembly |
| Hoses | Inlet and outlet hoses, 36 in x 2 in |
| Trough | Special trough for relating the rate of erosion to slope and stream volume |
| Siphon | 72 in x 1/4 in siphon tube with clamp |
| Suitable for | Group study or individual investigations |
Fill the upper part of the tray with damp sand or fine soil, shape a gentle slope towards the drain end, and start a steady flow using the inlet hose or the siphon tube from a raised container; the clamp on the siphon lets you slow or stop the water. Within minutes students can see a channel cut into the sediment, bends develop into meanders, and eroded material settle as a small delta near the outlet. Raising the head of the tray or opening the flow further shows directly how slope and stream volume change the rate of erosion – the relationship the trough is designed to explore.
Because each run takes only a few minutes, classes can repeat trials with different gradients and record channel width or sediment loss, turning the tray into a strong science fair project kit as well as a lesson demonstration. Work near a sink or outdoors, direct the outlet hose into a bucket, and wash out and dry the tray before storing it so sediment does not block the drain.
Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, known to schools as ScienceLab, is based in Ambala, Haryana, and builds apparatus for geography, earth science and general science teaching. The company ships to institutions in India and international markets; see our company profile for more about how it works.

Hoffman Electrolysis Apparatus (Product Code: SLE/EM/16) is the three-limbed glass apparatus used to electrolyse water and other solutions while collecting the gas released at each electrode in its own side tube, so the volumes can be compared and the gases drawn off for testing. The glassware is borosilicate 3.3 grade and clearly labelled, and the set comes with two electrode options — 2 platinum electrodes and 2 carbon electrodes, each mounted in rubber stoppers — plus PTFE stopcocks. Manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, it is a standard piece of electrolysis apparatus in India’s school and college chemistry laboratories.
| Parameter | Detail |
|---|---|
| Glass | Borosilicate 3.3 grade glassware, clearly labelled |
| Platinum electrodes | 2 included, in rubber stoppers |
| Carbon electrodes | 2 included, in rubber stoppers |
| Stopcocks | PTFE |
| Supplied items | Hoffman electrolysis apparatus; platinum electrodes in rubber stoppers; carbon electrodes in rubber stoppers; PTFE stopcocks |
| Not included | Ring stand and clamp (a metal ware set is recommended) |
For the electrolysis of water, the apparatus is clamped upright, the PTFE stopcocks are opened and acidified water or another suitable electrolyte is poured into the central reservoir until both side tubes are full; the stopcocks are then closed and a DC supply is connected to the electrodes. Gas collects at the top of each side tube, with roughly twice as much hydrogen at the cathode as oxygen at the anode, and each gas can be released through its stopcock for the lighted-splint and glowing-splint tests. Platinum electrodes stay inert in most electrolytes, while the carbon electrodes are a practical choice for chloride solutions such as brine, where students can compare the products at each electrode.
After each practical, drain the electrolyte, rinse the apparatus and electrodes with distilled water and leave the stopcocks open to dry. Handle the platinum electrodes gently. The borosilicate construction is the same type used in borosilicate glassware across India’s laboratories, so the apparatus copes with routine rinsing and the temperature changes of normal use.
ScienceLab is the brand of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, a laboratory equipment manufacturer located in Ambala, Haryana. For supplier onboarding and tender paperwork, the company can be identified by GSTIN 06AAECJ8618A1ZT and LEI 3358004HRD1JIVXKYX49. Further details are on our company profile.

Holder for 'D' Dry Cells (Product Code: SLE/EM/17) is a snap-fit aluminium cell holder used to hold 33 mm diameter dry cells in school circuit experiments. Fahnestock clips on both sides take bare wires and leads in seconds, holes let it be fixed to a board or panel, and any number of holders can be linked in series or parallel. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India.
| Parameter | Detail |
|---|---|
| Cell size | Dry cells of 33 mm diameter ('D' cells) |
| Material | Aluminium |
| Cell retention | Snap-fit |
| Terminals | Fahnestock clips on both sides for external connections |
| Mounting | Holes provided for attaching to a board or panel |
| Configuration | Any number of cells can be connected in series or parallel |
| Product code | SLE/EM/17 |

| Country of origin | India (made in Ambala, Haryana) |
In a school circuits lesson, each group snaps a cell into a holder and clips its wires to the Fahnestock clips to power a lamp, buzzer or small motor. Adding a second and third holder in series raises the voltage and the brighter lamp makes the result obvious, while linking holders in parallel keeps the voltage the same but lets the battery last longer. Screwing a row of holders to a baseboard turns them into a permanent, reusable battery for a demonstration panel or an electricity experiment kit.
Observe cell polarity when snapping cells in, and make sure the clips grip clean, bare wire for a good contact. Remove the cells before storing the holders so that any leakage cannot corrode the aluminium or the clips.
Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, which trades as ScienceLab, is the OEM (original equipment manufacturer) of this D-cell holder and produces it at its own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. Schools, dealers and importers order class quantities factory-direct, so repeat orders are handled by the manufacturer itself rather than a trader; just ask us. Read about the company on our company profile.

Electroscope, Flask Type (Product Code: SLE/EM/18) is a leaf electroscope built inside a 250mL Erlenmeyer flask, which protects the delicate leaves from draughts while keeping them fully visible. A plated rod topped with a knob of 16mm (2/3in) diameter passes through a rubber stopper, and a pair of aluminium leaves hangs from its lower end; when charge reaches the knob, the leaves take the same charge, repel each other and spread apart. Manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, it is an inexpensive item of junior science lab equipment for introducing static electricity and charge detection.
| Parameter | Detail |
|---|---|
| Enclosure | Erlenmeyer flask, 250mL |
| Leaves | A pair of aluminium leaves suspended from the rod |
| Rod and knob | Plated rod with a knob of 16mm (2/3in) diameter |
| Seal | Rod passes through a rubber stopper |
Students rub a friction rod with a cloth or fur, touch it to the knob and watch the leaves diverge — the basic proof that the rod has become charged. Bringing a charged rod near the knob without touching shows charging by induction, and touching the knob with a finger earths the electroscope so the leaves collapse. Once the electroscope holds a known charge, an unknown charged object brought close will make the leaves open wider (same sign) or close (opposite sign), so the class can identify the type of charge. Touching the knob with different materials also separates conductors, which discharge it at once, from insulators, which do not.
Static experiments work best on dry days; in humid weather charge leaks away and the leaves fall quickly, so warm and dry the flask and rods before the lesson. Keep the flask upright and move it gently, as the aluminium leaves are thin and easily creased. From a science apparatus manufacturer in India, it gives each bench group its own charge detector at modest cost.
Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited produces this electroscope in Ambala, Haryana, where it operates under the ScienceLab trading name as a maker of physics and general science apparatus for schools and colleges. Our company profile has more information.

Browse our Electricity Equipments range for more apparatus.
What size is the flask?
It is a 250mL Erlenmeyer (conical) flask.
What are the leaves made of?
A pair of aluminium leaves hangs from the plated rod. Replacement leaves are not listed separately; contact us if you need spares.
How big is the knob?
The knob on top of the rod is 16mm (2/3in) in diameter.
Are friction rods included?
No. Friction rods and cloths are ordered separately; see the related items above.
Why do the leaves collapse quickly on some days?
Moist air lets charge leak away. Drying the flask and rods, and working in a dry room, keeps the leaves open for longer.
How does it differ from a gold-leaf electroscope?
Aluminium leaves are more robust for everyday class use, while gold leaf is thinner and responds to smaller charges.
Can you supply several units for a class?
Yes. We supply schools, colleges and distributors in India and international markets.
