Volumeter Respirometer Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India

Volumeter Respirometer (Product Code: SLE/EBT/11) is a closed-system gas-volume apparatus used to measure oxygen consumption over time by small plants and animals in school and college biology practicals. Its control and experimental test tubes sit side by side, clipped to a plastic frame, so both share the same conditions during a respiration run. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India, as part of its biology lab equipment range.

Specifications

What Is the Volumeter Respirometer Used For?

In a standard respiration practical, germinating seeds or small invertebrates go into the experimental tube, usually with a carbon dioxide absorbent, while the control tube holds an equal volume of inert material. As the organisms take up oxygen and the carbon dioxide they release is absorbed, the gas volume in the closed system falls, and students record the change at fixed intervals. With both tubes on the same frame, warmth from hands or a drift in room temperature affects them equally and can be subtracted from the result.

The same apparatus supports follow-up investigations: comparing respiration at different temperatures, measuring gas production by fermenting yeast, or observing volume changes when green plant material photosynthesises in light. Let the tubes settle to room temperature before the first reading, keep the frame still during a run, and return any animals to their habitat promptly afterwards.

OEM Manufacturer

The Volumeter Respirometer is an original product of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, the company behind the ScienceLab name, which acts as OEM and builds it at its own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. Because there is no trading intermediary, schools, universities, dealers and importers receive quotations and repeat supplies directly from the maker. For institutional and tender buyers who need vendor registration details, the company's GSTIN is 06AAECJ8618A1ZT and its Legal Entity Identifier is 3358004HRD1JIVXKYX49. See the company profile for background.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the Volumeter Respirometer measure?
The Volumeter Respirometer measures changes in gas volume within a closed system. In respiration practicals this shows the volume of oxygen consumed by small plants or animals over time, from which students compare metabolic rates.

Why does the Volumeter Respirometer have two test tubes?
The Volumeter Respirometer uses side-by-side control and experimental test tubes clipped to one plastic frame. Because both tubes experience the same temperature and pressure, students can subtract any change seen in the control and attribute the remaining change to the organisms.

Can the Volumeter Respirometer be used for fermentation or photosynthesis?
Yes. Besides metabolic rate studies of small plants and animals, the Volumeter Respirometer can be used to determine fermentation rates and to follow gas volume changes linked to photosynthesis in green plant material.

Are chemicals or specimens included with the Volumeter Respirometer?
No carbon dioxide absorbent, seeds or organisms are listed with the Volumeter Respirometer. Schools normally prepare these locally; contact us if you would like suitable consumables quoted alongside the apparatus.

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

Is a calibration certificate available for the Volumeter Respirometer?
The product listing for the Volumeter Respirometer does not state a scale value or mention a calibration certificate. Please ask through our contact page if your institution needs calibration documentation, and we will discuss what can be arranged.

Can the Volumeter Respirometer be ordered as class sets or for export?
Yes. The Volumeter Respirometer can be quoted in class-set quantities for schools and colleges in India and international markets. State the number of units and the delivery destination in your enquiry so we can prepare an accurate quotation.
