What Is Cotton Wool Used For in the Lab?
Absorbent cotton wool holds water well, which is why seeds are germinated on a damp pad of it in a dish or beaker in class 6 to class 8 science. In microbiology, a twist of cotton wool plugs test tubes and conical flasks of culture media, letting air in while keeping dust and airborne microbes out. In the chemistry diffusion experiment, pads soaked in ammonia solution and in hydrochloric acid are placed at opposite ends of a glass tube, and a white ring of ammonium chloride forms nearer the acid end because ammonia diffuses faster. Cotton buds apply small amounts of liquid and clean narrow parts of apparatus, and rolls and balls mop up small spills on the bench.
Cotton wool catches fire easily, so keep it well away from burner flames and do not use it to handle hot apparatus. The listing does not describe it as sterile; for culture work, plugs are sterilised together with the media in the usual way.
Frequently Asked Questions
In what forms is the cotton wool available?
As balls, rolls and buds. State the form and the quantity of each in your enquiry and quote code EL-SLE-5561.
Is this cotton wool sterile?
It is not described as sterile. For microbiology work, sterilise the cotton plugs with the media before use.
What roll weight or ball size is supplied?
The listing does not give roll weights, ball sizes or bud counts. Tell JLab what you need and ask for the pack contents to be confirmed in the quotation.
Should I choose absorbent or non-absorbent cotton wool?
Use this absorbent cotton wool where liquid should be soaked up, such as germinating seeds or mopping spills. JLab also lists a non-absorbent cotton wool roll for jobs where water should not be held.
Who manufactures this cotton wool?
Jain Laboratory Instruments Pvt Ltd (JLab) makes it at its works in Ambala, Haryana, and quotes for it directly.
OEM Manufacturer
JLab is the trading name of Jain Laboratory Instruments Pvt Ltd, an Indian maker of school laboratory apparatus and consumables, incorporated in 2017 and based on Hargolal Road, Ambala, Haryana. This cotton wool is produced at JLab’s own works rather than bought from a trader, so schools, colleges, dealers and importers order it factory-direct, every pack is checked by eye before dispatch, and repeat supplies come from the same manufacturer. JLab exports worldwide and ships to buyers in every region — for example Mauritius in East Africa, Eswatini in Southern Africa, Bhutan in South Asia, Brunei in Southeast Asia and Uruguay in South America. Tender buyers can find more on the JLab lab tenders page.
