Kit for the Demonstration of Absorption of Mineral Salts in Plants
Product Code : SCL-BLE-11624
Kit for the Demonstration of Absorption of Mineral Salts in Plants (SKU SCL-BLE-11624) is a two-flask set for showing that plants take up dissolved mineral salts together with water. It pairs a mineral salt with two 250 ml Erlenmeyer flasks, so a class can compare a plant kept in salt solution with one kept in plain water. It belongs with school biology lab equipment in India for plant-nutrition lessons. Science Lab Supplies sends it out from Ambala, India, to schools, colleges, training institutes and distributors.
Specifications
The mineral-salt kit comes down to two 250 ml Erlenmeyer flasks and a mineral salt for making the nutrient solution, set out row by row below. The exact salt composition and quantity are confirmed on the quotation. Shelf life depends on the chemical, its grade and storage conditions; ask us for the expiry date of the batch you are quoted.

Applications and Experiments for the Mineral Salt Absorption Kit
The kit shows that roots absorb mineral salts dissolved in water, and that a plant given them develops differently from one given water alone. It fits plant-nutrition topics in CBSE/NCERT Class 7 science, the Class 11 biology chapter on mineral nutrition and introductory botany practicals in colleges.
- Water-culture comparison: one flask with the dissolved mineral salt and one with plain water, each holding a seedling or cut shoot, observed over several days.
- Class 11 mineral nutrition: linking salt uptake to water movement, then measuring water uptake by a leafy shoot on the Student Potometer 'H' type.
- Preparing the solutions: measuring water with the Glass Cylinders with Different Pupils set and adding small volumes with a glass Dropper.
Label both flasks, keep them under the same light and temperature, and record leaf colour and growth at fixed intervals.
Standard Scope of Supply
Each kit is supplied with two 250 ml Erlenmeyer flasks and a mineral salt for preparing the test solution. Seedlings or cut plants, distilled water and any support stand are not included; the school provides the plants, and glassware or stands can be added to the same quotation.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
A quotation can cover one kit for a teacher's demonstration or one kit per student group across a biology lab. Each quotation from Science Lab Supplies gives the packing, delivery time and price for the quantity you name, and spare flasks or other plant-physiology kits can be listed alongside it.
With an Importer-Exporter Code on record, Science Lab Supplies is able to ship to buyers in Oman, the Philippines, Nepal, Bangladesh, Zambia and Rwanda.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the kit contain?
It contains two 250 ml Erlenmeyer flasks and a mineral salt for preparing the nutrient solution. Plants, water and any stand come from the school, so the set works with whatever seedlings suit the season.
How does it show the absorption of mineral salts?
One flask holds the dissolved mineral salt and the other plain water. A seedling or shoot placed in each is watched over several days, and differences in growth and leaf colour show the effect of the salts the roots take up.
Who supplies the Kit for the Demonstration of Absorption of Mineral Salts in Plants?
Science Lab Supplies, based in Ambala, India, supplies this kit as part of its plant-physiology range for schools, colleges, training institutes and distributors, and can quote it together with other biology lab equipment.
Can I know the salt composition before ordering?
Yes. Ask through the contact page and the salt composition, quantity and batch expiry for your order will be stated with the quotation, so teachers can plan the solution strength for the practical in advance.
