Electrode Plates Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India

Product Code : EL-SLE-4543
Jlab Export is a leading Electrode Plates Manufacturer,and suppliers in India

Electrode Plates (code EL-SLE-4543) are flat 75 mm x 25 mm metal and carbon plates with fitted 4 mm terminals, used for chemical and electrical experiments such as simple cells, electrolysis and electroplating in school and college labs. They are offered in four materials — carbon, copper, lead and zinc — so a matched pair can be chosen for each practical. They are made by Jain Laboratory Instruments Pvt Ltd (JLab) at its works in Ambala, India.

Specifications

Electrode Plates or Electrode Rods?

Choose plates when you want a larger flat face towards the other electrode — for example to see a copper coating build up during electroplating, or to stand two plates side by side in a small beaker. Rods are handier in narrow vessels such as boiling tubes or U-tubes.

What Are Electrode Plates Used For?

Pairs of different plates in an electrolyte make a simple voltaic cell: copper and zinc in dilute sulphuric acid, or in a lemon, produce a small voltage that can be read on a voltmeter, with zinc acting as the negative electrode. Passing current between two copper plates in copper sulphate solution shows copper dissolving at the anode and depositing at the cathode, the basis of electroplating and refining. Carbon plates are inert, so they are the usual choice for electrolysing water or salt solutions, and two lead plates in dilute sulphuric acid show how a lead-acid cell charges and discharges. These activities run from the class 8 chapter on chemical effects of electric current through class 10 electrolysis to class 12 electrochemistry, which makes the plates basic chemistry lab equipment for schools in India and abroad.

Connect the plates with 4 mm plug leads or crocodile clips to a low-voltage DC supply or a meter, keeping the terminals above the liquid. Clean metal plates with fine abrasive paper before each class so the surface reacts evenly, rinse and dry them after use, and store zinc and lead dry to slow corrosion. Lead is toxic: students should handle lead plates with gloves and wash their hands afterwards. Carbon is brittle, so avoid dropping or over-tightening it.

What to Specify When Ordering

• Material and quantity of each — carbon, copper, lead or zinc; cells need two different metals, electrolysis usually a matched pair.
• Total quantity — the minimum order is 10 units across your enquiry.
• Leads, supply and vessels — connecting leads, a battery eliminator and beakers or an electrolysis apparatus, if needed.
• Delivery — destination country and city or port, preferred terms (for example FOB or CIF) and any tender reference.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size are the electrode plates?
Each plate measures 75 mm x 25 mm and has a 4 mm terminal fitted for connection. The listing does not give the plate thickness; ask JLab if your holder needs a particular thickness.

Which materials are available?
Carbon, copper, lead and zinc. Each is a separate version, so state how many of each you need.

Which pair should I use for a simple cell?
Copper and zinc are the classic pair. In dilute acid or a salt solution zinc becomes the negative electrode and copper the positive, and a voltmeter across the terminals shows the cell voltage.

Which plates suit electrolysis?
Carbon plates for most solutions, because carbon does not take part in the reaction; copper plates in copper sulphate solution when you want to show copper transferring from anode to cathode.

Are leads or a beaker included?
No. The listing covers the plate with its terminal; connecting leads, a power supply and vessels are separate items that can be added to the same enquiry.

Who manufactures these electrode plates?
Jain Laboratory Instruments Pvt Ltd (JLab) makes them at its works in Ambala, Haryana, India, and quotes for them as the manufacturer.

OEM Manufacturer

JLab is the trading name of Jain Laboratory Instruments Pvt Ltd, a maker of school science and laboratory equipment in India, incorporated in 2017 and based on Hargolal Road, Ambala, Haryana. The electrode plates are produced at JLab’s own works, not purchased from a trading house, so schools, colleges, dealers and importers order factory-direct; plates are visually inspected before they are packed, and repeat orders are handled by the manufacturer. JLab exports to every region of the world and can ship, for example, to Mexico (North America), Mongolia (East Asia), Chad (Central Africa), Botswana (Southern Africa) and Serbia (Southern Europe). Institutional buyers can find tender details on the JLab lab tenders page.

Items for Electrochemistry Practicals

• Electrode Rods — 6 in rods in the same four materials, for narrow vessels.
• Simple Cell — a glass jar with zinc and copper plates and terminals, ready to use as a cell.
• Electrolysis Apparatus — a container with mounted carbon electrodes, clip leads and graduated test tubes.
• Battery Eliminator (0-12 Volts) — a DC power pack for electrolysis and plating runs.
• Connecting Leads — leads with connectors for wiring plates to the supply or meter.
