Silicone Tube (Product Code: SLE/CH/175) is a 25cm length of silicone tubing formed with a U bend, used as a connecting part in the Microscience system for small-scale student practicals. Laboratory assistants order it to replace tubes that have become worn, stained or lost, keeping each Microscience kit complete for the next class. It is one of the lab equipment spare parts supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala.

In microscale chemistry, reactions are carried out in small plastic apparatus, and flexible tubing links one part of the set-up to another so that gases or liquids can pass between them. Silicone is well suited to this job because it stays soft and flexible, tolerates warm conditions better than many ordinary rubbers and does not react with most classroom reagents. The ready-made U bend lets the tube turn back on itself without kinking, which keeps the passage open in a compact arrangement on the bench.
Fit the tube by easing it over the connector with a slight twist rather than forcing it, and check each joint before starting a reaction. After the practical, rinse the tube through with clean water, shake out the drops and let it dry fully before packing it back into the kit. Replace any tube that has become sticky, cracked or permanently stained. Schools that keep a small stock of such lab equipment accessories in India find it easier to run every Microscience workstation at full strength.
Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, which trades as ScienceLab and is based in Ambala, Haryana, supplies this replacement tube as part of its support for schools using microscale chemistry equipment. You can read about the company on our company profile.
