Apparatus for Photosynthesis
Product Code : SCL-BLE-11627
Apparatus for Photosynthesis (SKU SCL-BLE-11627) measures and collects the gas given off by aquatic plants while they photosynthesise. A calibrated capillary tube reads the volume of gas evolved, and plastic syringes draw it off for analysis; both are mounted on a 190 x 150 mm plastic panel. It serves school and college biology practicals on photosynthesis. From Ambala, India, Science Lab Supplies offers it to schools, colleges, tender contractors and distributors.
Specifications
The photosynthesis panel combines a calibrated capillary tube for reading gas volume with plastic syringes for drawing the gas off, all fixed to a single plastic panel measuring 190 x 150 mm. Every one of these details has its own row in the table that follows.

Applications and Experiments for the Photosynthesis Apparatus
The apparatus is used to measure how much gas a water plant gives off in photosynthesis and to collect that gas for testing. It suits CBSE/NCERT Class 10 and Class 11 photosynthesis practicals, investigative school projects and B.Sc. plant-physiology work on the factors that affect the rate.
- Class 10 life processes: showing that a green water plant releases gas in light.
- Rate investigations: changing light distance or water temperature and comparing gas volumes on the capillary, with the plant in a Chemical Glasses (Beaker) 500ml and temperature read on Laboratory Thermometers.
- Gas analysis: drawing the collected gas into a syringe so it can be tested.
Let the plant settle in fresh water for a few minutes before the first reading, and keep the panel upright so the capillary scale is easy to read.
Standard Scope of Supply
The apparatus is supplied as the 190 x 150 mm plastic panel carrying the calibrated capillary tube and the plastic syringes. Aquatic plants, water, a beaker and a light source are not included; these can be arranged by the school, and glassware can be added to the quotation.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
Ask for one panel for demonstrations or a number of panels for group practicals; the quotation lists the packing, delivery time and price for that quantity. Beakers, thermometers and the other photosynthesis kits shown below can be priced in the same request to keep ordering simple.
Science Lab Supplies, an Importer-Exporter Code holder, can ship to buyers in Bangladesh, Zambia, Rwanda, South Africa, Qatar and Sri Lanka. You can reach the sales desk on the contact page, build a list in the enquiry cart, or check the lab tender page for institutional procurement.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is the gas measured?
Gas evolved by the aquatic plant is read on the calibrated capillary tube. The plastic syringes then draw the gas off, so the same sample can be collected and analysed after the volume is noted.
What size is the panel?
The capillary tube and syringes are mounted on a plastic panel of 190 x 150 mm. The panel keeps the parts in position so students can read the capillary and use the syringes during the run.
Who supplies the Apparatus for Photosynthesis?
Science Lab Supplies supplies this apparatus out of Ambala, India. Its quotations go directly to schools, colleges, tender contractors and distributors, with packing and delivery details for each order.
Are plants included?
No. The apparatus does not include aquatic plants, water or a light source. Most freshwater plants available locally can be used, and the panel is ready for them once a beaker of water is set up.
