Simple Gas Preparation Kit (Product Code: SLE/CH/177) is a compact set for producing gases that can be collected over water, such as oxygen, hydrogen and carbon dioxide, in school chemistry practicals. Its plastic tank does double duty as the water trough during the experiment and, with its lid, as a storage box for every other component afterwards. For schools looking for tidy gas collection apparatus in India, the kit is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala.
| Parameter | Detail |
|---|---|
| Purpose | Producing gases collected over water, e.g. oxygen, hydrogen and carbon dioxide |
| Trough and storage | Plastic tank with lid, which forms a storage box for the other components |
| Collection tubes | 5 test tubes, 150 x 24mm, with stoppers |
| Gas generator parts | Test tube with side arm and one-hole stopper; thistle funnel |
| Other components | Test tube stand, special gas chimney shelf, delivery tube and tubing connector |
The tank is filled with water and the gas chimney shelf is placed inside so that a water-filled test tube can stand inverted over it. Reactants go into the side-arm test tube, and the gas produced travels through the delivery tube and tubing connector, bubbling up through the shelf to displace water from the collecting tube. Once a tube is full, it is stoppered under water, lifted out and placed in the test tube stand, and the next tube is set up, so a group can collect several samples in one run.
Collected samples lend themselves to the standard identification tests: a glowing splint for oxygen, a lighted splint for hydrogen and limewater for carbon dioxide. The thistle funnel is useful when liquid reagent must be added to the generator during the reaction. Reagents are not part of the kit, so prepare them according to your practical guide and wear eye protection. When the lesson ends, rinse and dry the parts and pack them back into the tank, which keeps the set complete for the next class.
ScienceLab kits such as this are produced by Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited in Ambala, Haryana, a company focused on practical teaching apparatus for chemistry, physics and biology departments. The company profile describes the business in more detail.

What is included in the Simple Gas Preparation Kit?
A plastic tank with lid, a test tube stand, 5 test tubes of 150 x 24mm with stoppers, a thistle funnel, a test tube with side arm and one-hole stopper, a special gas chimney shelf, a delivery tube and a tubing connector.
Which gases can be prepared with it?
Gases that can be collected over water, for example oxygen, hydrogen and carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide dissolves slightly in water, so collect it promptly.
Are chemicals supplied with the kit?
No chemicals are listed. Schools use their own reagents, prepared as their practical manual directs.
How is the kit stored?
All components fit inside the plastic tank, and the lid closes it into a storage box, which makes the kit easy to shelve and to check for missing parts.
Can lost or broken parts be replaced individually?
Tell us which component you need through our contact page and we will confirm availability.
What should a school include when requesting a quotation?
The number of kits, the delivery address and any spare parts required. We supply schools and colleges in India and international markets.
