Mercury Blood Pressure Machine, Desk Model
Product Code : LSK-DE-10860
Mercury Blood Pressure Machine, Desk Model (SKU LSK-DE-10860) is a traditional mercurial sphygmomanometer that reads 0–300 mmHg on a clear glass tube, with a mercury locking facility and a metal carrying case. It suits teaching of the classic auscultatory method in nursing, medical and physiology labs where mercury instruments are permitted. Science Lab Supplies quotes it from Ambala, India, for institutions, dealers and project buyers.
Specifications
All of the mercury desk model's technical points are written into the table below. In short, a clear 3.5–4.0 mm glass tube shows 0–300 mmHg with 3 mmHg accuracy, the mercury can be locked when the unit is closed, and it is packed in a light weight metal case with emulsoid bladder, latex bulb, inflation valve and cotton or nylon cuff.

Applications and Experiments for the Mercury Desk Model
The mercury column gives a direct pressure reading against which the Korotkoff sounds are timed, making it the traditional instrument for learning the manual method. It suits supervised practicals on manual blood pressure measurement in medical and nursing colleges that keep mercury instruments.
- MBBS and B.Sc. physiology: auscultatory measurement of systolic and diastolic pressure, listening with a Cardiology Stethoscope.
- Nursing skills labs: reading a mercury column at eye level and recording the result.
- Comparing mercury readings with an aneroid dial in a calibration-awareness exercise; schools that want to avoid mercury can use the Aneroid Sphygmomanometer (Biology Lab) instead.
Hazard: this instrument contains mercury, which is toxic. Engage the mercury lock before closing or moving the case, keep it upright, use it only under supervision, follow your institution's mercury spill procedure, and check local rules on mercury instruments before ordering.
Standard Scope of Supply
The set is packed in its metal case and comprises the mercury column unit with clear glass tube and mercury lock, an emulsoid bladder in a cotton or nylon cuff, a soft emulsoid bulb, and the latex bulb and inflation valve accessories. A stethoscope is a separate item that can be added to the quotation.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
A quotation can be drawn up for one mercury desk set or for several physiology benches. It records the packing, delivery time and price for that quantity, and because mercury instruments may need special transport handling, the shipping method is confirmed on the same quotation.
Science Lab Supplies has an Importer-Exporter Code and can ship to buyers in South Africa, Qatar, Sri Lanka, Vietnam, Malaysia and Peru, subject to each destination's rules on mercury. Raise your query from the contact page, list items in the enquiry cart, or follow the lab tender page for bids.
Frequently Asked Questions
What range and accuracy does the mercury desk model have?
It measures from 0 to 300 mmHg with an accuracy of 3 mmHg, read on a clear 3.5 to 4.0 mm glass tube, so the mercury meniscus is easy to follow during deflation.
What does the mercury lock do?
The mercury locking facility holds the mercury in place when the instrument is closed, reducing the chance of mercury escaping during storage or transport. Always engage it before shutting the metal case.
Is a mercury-free alternative available?
Yes. The Mercury Blood Pressure Machine (SKU LSK-DE-10857) is a mercury-free LCD bar-graph unit, and aneroid desk models with 147 mm dials are also in the range; any of these can be quoted instead.
Who supplies the Mercury Blood Pressure Machine, Desk Model?
Science Lab Supplies quotes and dispatches it from Ambala, India, to colleges, training institutions and distributors, and confirms on the quotation how a mercury instrument will be packed for the route.
