Applications and Experiments for the Microscopy Chemicals Set
The chemicals let students stain, fix, dehydrate and mount their own specimens, while the prepared slides give reference material for tissues and organisms that are hard to prepare in class. Used together, they cover most slide work in a school or undergraduate biology course.
- CBSE/NCERT Class 9: staining onion peel with safranin and mounting in glycerin.
- Class 11–12: starch tests with Lugol's solution and chromosome squashes with carmine and acetic acid.
- B.Sc. zoology and microbiology: Giemsa-stained smears, protozoa and freshwater microorganisms.
- Permanent mounts: dehydration through the ethanol grades and mounting in Canada balsam.
Standard Scope of Supply
The set consists of the chemicals, stains and mountant in the quantities in the table, plus the five named slide series and the human spermatozoa smear slides, each with the storage boxes listed. Glassware, cover slips and microscopes are quoted separately.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
You can ask for one set for a single biology laboratory or several for a group of schools. The quotation will give packing, delivery time and price for that number, and microscopes or dissecting kits can be added, so one laboratory chemicals supplier in India covers the whole list.
Backed by an Importer-Exporter Code, Science Lab Supplies can ship to buyers in Bangladesh, Zambia, Rwanda, South Africa, Qatar and Sri Lanka. Enquire on the contact page, add the set to the enquiry cart, or use the lab tender page for tenders.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the shelf life of the chemicals?
Shelf life depends on the chemical, its grade and storage conditions; ask us for the expiry date of the batch you are quoted.
Which prepared slide sets are included?
General Biology Basic Series of 25, Supplementary Set 1 of 50, Zoology Protozoa of 10, Water Pollution of 20, Freshwater microorganisms of 25, and human spermatozoa smear slides.
Who supplies the Microscopy Chemicals Set?
Science Lab Supplies supplies the set from Ambala, India, on its own or with other biology items.
Are any of the chemicals hazardous?
Yes. Acetic acid 99% is corrosive and the alcohols and propanol-2 are flammable. Store them locked, away from flames, and let students use them only under supervision with gloves and goggles.
