Jlab Export is a leading Folding Quadrat Frame Manufacturer,and suppliers in India
Folding Quadrat Frame (code EL-EE-7229) is a 500 x 500 mm square sampling frame used to mark out plots for plant and habitat surveys in ecology fieldwork. It comes as a set of 4 nylon-coated mild steel wires with zinc-plated mild steel screws and nuts, which assemble into a square, so it travels as a compact bundle of parts. It is made by Jain Laboratory Instruments Pvt Ltd (JLab) at its works in Ambala, India.

Choose the folding frame when you mainly count individual plants or species inside each plot and want a frame that breaks down into separate wires for carrying; choose a grid quadrat when students estimate percentage cover square by square.
What Is a Folding Quadrat Frame Used For?
A quadrat marks out a fixed area of ground so that the plants inside it can be counted and compared between sites. Students drop the frame at random points, or at intervals along a transect line, record each species present, and use the results to estimate population density, frequency and abundance. At 500 x 500 mm (0.5 m on each side) the frame encloses about a quarter of a square metre, a common plot size for grassland, lawn and short vegetation. It suits the CBSE class 12 biology practicals that study plant population density and frequency by the quadrat method, college and university ecology field courses, and school environment clubs surveying a playing field or garden.
Because the frame is built from four separate wires, a class set packs into a small bag and is assembled where it is needed. After fieldwork, wipe off mud, let the wires dry before storing them, and keep each set’s screws and nuts together so no frame is left incomplete.
What to Specify When Ordering
- Number of frames — the minimum order is 10; many teachers plan one frame per group of students.
- Grid or open frame — add the 100-square or 25-square grid quadrats if you also need subdivided plots for percentage-cover work.
- Field accessories — hand lenses or collecting nets can be quoted in the same enquiry.
- Delivery details — destination city or port and any packing or labelling requirements.
Frequently Asked Questions
What size is the folding quadrat?
It measures 500 x 500 mm, which marks out about 0.25 m² of ground.
What is it made of?
The four wires are nylon-coated mild steel, and the screws are zinc-plated mild steel.
How is the frame put together?
The set of 4 wires is joined with the supplied screws and nuts to form a square. Taking it apart again lets you carry several frames in a small bag.
Does it have a grid inside?
No grid is listed for this frame; it is an open square. If you need subdivisions, JLab lists separate grid quadrats with 100 or 25 squares.
Can it be used for the class 12 quadrat practical?
Yes. The quadrat method for studying plant population density and frequency only needs a frame of known area, and this one encloses about 0.25 m².
What should I include when asking for an export quote?
Quantity, destination country and port or city, preferred delivery terms such as FOB or CIF, any packing or labelling needs, and the tender reference if one applies.
Who manufactures this quadrat frame?
JLab — Jain Laboratory Instruments Pvt Ltd — at its works in Ambala, Haryana, India.
OEM Manufacturer
JLab is the trading name of Jain Laboratory Instruments Pvt Ltd, an Indian manufacturer of biology, ecology and environmental field equipment for teaching, incorporated in 2017 and operating from Hargolal Road, Ambala, Haryana. These frames come from JLab’s own workshop, not from a trading house, so schools, colleges, dealers and importers order from the producer itself; each set is visually inspected before it is packed, and repeat orders or missing parts are dealt with by the manufacturer. JLab exports worldwide, with the capability to supply buyers in any region — DR Congo in Central Africa, Moldova in Eastern Europe, Tonga in Oceania, Sudan in North Africa and Mali in West Africa among them. Institutions buying by tender can refer to the JLab lab tenders page.
