Microscopy Chemicals Set
Product Code : SCL-PL-12331
Microscopy Chemicals Set (SKU SCL-PL-12331) combines the stains, alcohols, mountants and reagents used to prepare microscope slides with several sets of ready-prepared biology slides and their storage boxes. It serves school and college biology laboratories that make temporary and permanent mounts and study reference specimens. Quotations for the set go out from Science Lab Supplies in Ambala, India, to schools, colleges, training institutes, distributors and tender contractors.
Specifications
Each chemical, stain, slide series and storage box in the set has its own row below with its pack size. In short, the chemical side covers acids, alcohols, glycerin, a mountant and six stains or stain solutions from 10 g to 5 litres, and the slide side adds general biology, protozoa, freshwater, water pollution and spermatozoa series.

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, compared with the Cell Division slide set of 9.
- B.Sc. zoology and microbiology: Giemsa-stained smears, protozoa and freshwater microorganisms, alongside the Bacteria slide Set of 12.
- 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 shown in the table, plus the five named slide series and the human spermatozoa smear slides, each with the storage boxes stated. Glassware, cover slips and microscopes can be added to the quotation as separate lines.
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. A request for the chemicals set, with the number of laboratories it should serve, can be sent from the contact page or the enquiry cart; reagent lots in a tender go through the lab tender page.
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. Keep every bottle tightly closed and stored as its label directs.
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 puts the whole set on one quotation from Ambala, India, with the stains, solvents and mountant itemised next to the five prepared slide series and their storage boxes, and other biology items can be added.
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 allow students to handle them only under supervision with gloves and goggles.
Related Microscopy, Staining and Safety Items
Staining work needs microscopes to view the slides, jars and racks for staining and drying them, cover slips, and protective wear for handling the reagents. These items can be quoted with the chemicals set so a biology room has everything for slide preparation and safe handling.
