Weighing Tray (Product Code: SLE/LI/31) is a square high-impact polystyrene tray used to hold powders, granules and small solid samples while they are weighed on a laboratory balance. Chemistry, biology and pharmacy labs use such trays for routine weighing; this one comes in packs of 250, and its 140 × 140 mm size leaves room for larger portions without spilling. These trays are supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India.

Placing a sample straight onto a balance pan contaminates the pan and makes it hard to transfer every particle afterwards. A weighing tray solves both problems: set it on the pan, press tare, add the solid with a spatula, then carry the tray to the beaker or flask and pour. Using a fresh tray for each chemical keeps samples from mixing, which matters when a class of students weighs out different reagents on shared balances.
Pair it with a digital weighing balance whose pan and capacity comfortably take a 140 mm tray, and keep the tray level while adding material so nothing slides off. Polystyrene is attacked by solvents such as acetone, so weigh solvent-wet or hot material in a glass or porcelain dish instead. Store unused trays in their pack to keep them clean and dust-free.
Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited supplies these weighing trays under its ScienceLab trading name from Ambala, Haryana. As a lab consumables supplier in India, the company sources them for schools, colleges, pharmacy and research laboratories and dealers, and ships to India and international markets alongside balances and other bench items.

Weighing trays are used together with a balance and a way to transfer the sample:

What size is the Weighing Tray?
The Weighing Tray measures 140 × 140 mm and is made from high-impact polystyrene. The square shape gives a generous area for larger portions of powder or granules and makes it easy to pour the weighed sample neatly into a beaker or flask.
How many trays are in a pack of the Weighing Tray?
The Weighing Tray is supplied in packs of 250. When you request a quotation, state how many packs you need so the order covers a full term or academic year of weighing for your laboratory.
Which balances can I use the Weighing Tray on?
The Weighing Tray can be used on any laboratory balance whose pan and capacity comfortably hold a 140 × 140 mm tray. Place the empty tray on the pan, press tare, and then add your sample so the display shows only the sample mass.
Can the Weighing Tray hold solvents or hot material?
The Weighing Tray is polystyrene, which solvents such as acetone attack and heat can deform. Use it for dry solids at room temperature, and weigh solvent-wet or hot material in a glass or porcelain dish instead.
Should a Weighing Tray be reused?
A Weighing Tray is normally used once per chemical and then discarded, which prevents one sample contaminating the next. Buying packs of 250 keeps a steady supply on hand, so students can take a fresh tray for every reagent they weigh.
Who supplies the Weighing Tray?
The Weighing Tray is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, Haryana. The company provides it to schools, colleges, research laboratories and dealers in India and international markets, and can combine it with balances and spatulas in one order.
