Clinostat Clock Type Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India
Product Code : EL-SLE-4770
Jlab Export is a leading Clinostat Clock Type Manufacturer,and suppliers in India
Clinostat Clock Type (code EL-SLE-4770) is a hand-wound clinostat used to turn a potted plant slowly during tropism demonstrations and experiments in school and college biology labs. Its clock mechanism is designed to make one revolution every hour for 24 hours and works with the plant in either a horizontal or a vertical position, so no mains supply is needed. It is made by Jain Laboratory Instruments Pvt Ltd (JLab) at its works in Ambala, India.

How Does It Compare with the JLab Electric Clinostat?
| Model | Drive | Rotation | Other listed details |
|---|---|---|---|
| This clinostat (EL-SLE-4770) | Hand-wound clock mechanism | One revolution per hour, for 24 hours | Works horizontal or vertical; plant in a pot; metal base |
| Clinostat Electric | Electric motor, 220 V, 50 Hz | 5 revolutions per hour | Angle adjustable by a thumb screw; seedlings pinned to a cork-faced disc; for seedlings, cut shoots and small potted plants |
Choose the clock-type model for classrooms or field stations without a reliable mains supply, or where a simple wind-up mechanism is preferred; the electric model suits labs that want continuous motor drive, a faster rotation and an adjustable angle for seedlings.
What Is the Clock-Type Clinostat Used For?
A clinostat rotates a plant slowly so that a one-sided stimulus acts equally on all sides of it. With the axis horizontal, gravity no longer pulls on one side only, so the shoot and root of a plant laid on its side keep growing horizontally, while a stationary control plant laid beside it bends its shoot upward and its root downward — the classic demonstration of geotropism. Used in the vertical position, the turning plant receives light from a side window evenly, which helps in phototropism comparisons. These tropic movements are part of plant biology teaching at secondary level, for example the Control and Coordination chapter of CBSE class 10 Science, and of botany practicals in colleges.
Set the clinostat on a level bench away from draughts, fix a well-watered young potted plant in place, wind the mechanism by hand until it is firm without forcing it, and keep an identical plant stationary as the control. Check the plants after a day and rewind as needed. Wipe the base dry after watering and store the unit with the mechanism unwound.
What to Specify When Ordering
- Model — this hand-wound clock type or the electric clinostat.
- Pot — say whether you need a pot with each clinostat, as the listing does not make this clear.
- Quantity — the minimum order is 10 units; schools often order one per group so each group can run its own control.
- Companion apparatus — a dark germination chamber or potometer can go on the same enquiry for a full plant-physiology bench.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a clock-type clinostat used for?
It turns a plant slowly so that gravity or light acts evenly on all sides, which lets students compare it with a stationary plant and see geotropism or phototropism.
How fast does it rotate?
It is designed to make one revolution every hour, and the listing gives a running period of 24 hours. That slow speed is enough to cancel a one-sided stimulus without throwing the plant about.
Does it need electricity?
No. The winding mechanism is driven by hand, so the clinostat can be used in rooms without a power point. JLab also lists an electric clinostat for labs that prefer motor drive.
Can it be used horizontally and vertically?
Yes. It is designed to rotate in both horizontal and vertical positions; the horizontal set-up is the usual one for geotropism.
Is the plant or pot included?
Plants are never supplied. The listing describes the plant growing in a pot on the clinostat but does not say whether a pot is packed with it, so state your requirement in the enquiry.
What is the minimum order, and how soon is it dispatched?
The minimum order is 10 units, supplied individually, and dispatch is usually within 7–10 working days after a visual check of each clinostat. For an export quotation, send the quantity, destination country and port or city, delivery terms such as FOB or CIF, and any tender reference.
Who makes this clinostat?
JLab — Jain Laboratory Instruments Pvt Ltd — builds it at its Ambala works in Haryana, India, and quotes for it as the manufacturer.
OEM Manufacturer
JLab is the trading name of Jain Laboratory Instruments Pvt Ltd, a biology and school laboratory equipment manufacturer in India, incorporated in 2017, with its base on Hargolal Road in Ambala, Haryana. The clock-type clinostat is assembled at JLab’s own works and is not sourced from a trader, which means schools, colleges, dealers and importers deal with the maker directly; each unit is inspected by eye before dispatch, and repeat orders come from the same manufacturer. JLab exports worldwide and ships to buyers in every region — for example Algeria in North Africa, Zambia in East Africa, the Netherlands in Western Europe, El Salvador in Central America and the Caribbean, and Senegal in West Africa. Institutional buyers can find tender information on the JLab lab tenders page.
