Potometer Student Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India
Product Code : EL-SLE-4688
Jlab Export is a leading Potometer Student Manufacturer,and suppliers in India
Potometer Student (code EL-SLE-4688) is an H-type potometer suitable for students, used to measure how fast a cut shoot takes up water in school and college biology practicals. The cut shoot is attached to the side arm with tubing, and the glass tube acts as the water reservoir, so each student can set up and read a transpiration experiment at the bench. It is made by Jain Laboratory Instruments Pvt Ltd (JLab) at its works in Ambala, India.

How Does It Compare with Other JLab Potometers?
| Model | Listed design | Listed dimensions and use |
|---|---|---|
| This potometer (EL-SLE-4688) | H-type; cut shoot on the side arm with tubing; glass tube as reservoir | Suitable for students; dimensions not stated |
| Potometer Apparatus “H” Type | H-type; cut shoot on the side arm with tubing; wide glass tube as reservoir | Capillary tube 140 mm, bore 1 mm; glass tube 160 x 20 mm diameter; side arm 8 mm diameter; individual student use |
| Potometer Ganong (For Photosynthesis) | Ganong type | Transpiration rate and water absorption by a cut shoot under various external conditions |
| Potometer Apparatus White Stand | Submerged bubble potometer; syringe zeroes the scale | Transpiration in small plant shoots |
Both H-type listings describe the same arrangement, and the “H” Type listing gives full dimensions, so ask JLab to confirm whether this student model matches them. Choose the Ganong type for demonstrations and repeated readings on one shoot, and the white-stand model for small shoots.
What Is the Student Potometer Used For?
A potometer shows how quickly a leafy shoot draws up water as its leaves lose water vapour through the stomata. Because only a small part of that water is used in photosynthesis and growth, the uptake rate is a close guide to the transpiration rate. With one set per student or pair, a class can compare a shoot in light and in darkness, in still air and in front of a fan, or with leaves covered and uncovered, and see which conditions speed up transpiration. It suits the transpiration topic in class 10 science (Life Processes) and plant physiology practicals in senior-secondary and college biology labs.
Cut the shoot under water and fit it to the side arm while both are submerged, so no air enters the stem. Make the tubing joint airtight, fill the apparatus with water, then time how far the water level or air bubble moves along the scale. Let the shoot settle for a few minutes before timing, and take several readings for each condition. Rinse the glass parts with clean water after use.
What to Specify When Ordering
- Quantity — the minimum order is 10 units; for individual practicals plan one per student or pair.
- Dimensions and scale — ask JLab to confirm the tube sizes and graduation of this student model.
- Spares — extra tubing and glass parts can be quoted on the same enquiry for breakages.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a student potometer used for?
It measures the rate at which a cut shoot takes up water, which is close to its transpiration rate. Students compare readings under different conditions such as light, wind and temperature.
Does a potometer measure respiration or photosynthesis?
No. A potometer measures water uptake by the shoot. Respiration and photosynthesis are studied with other apparatus, such as a respirometer, because they are measured by gas exchange rather than water movement.
How is the shoot fitted?
The cut shoot is attached to the side arm with tubing, and the glass tube acts as the reservoir. Fit it under water and make the joint airtight, or air will enter the stem and the reading will stop.
How does it compare with the “H” Type potometer listing?
Both describe an H-type potometer with the shoot on a side arm and a glass tube reservoir. The “H” Type listing states its dimensions; this student listing does not, so ask JLab to confirm the sizes with your quotation.
Who manufactures this potometer?
Jain Laboratory Instruments Pvt Ltd, trading as JLab, makes it at its works in Ambala, Haryana, India, and quotes for it directly as the manufacturer.
OEM Manufacturer
JLab is the trading name of Jain Laboratory Instruments Pvt Ltd, a manufacturer of biology and school science lab apparatus in India, incorporated in 2017 and based on Hargolal Road, Ambala, Haryana. The student potometer is made at JLab’s own works rather than bought from a trader, so schools, colleges, dealers and importers buy it factory-direct, each unit is visually inspected before dispatch, and repeat orders and spare glass parts are handled by the manufacturer. The company’s GSTIN is 06AADCJ9848D1ZE and its Legal Entity Identifier is 549300DTGS77DGYD6N03. JLab exports worldwide and ships to buyers in every region, for example Argentina in South America, Zimbabwe in East Africa, Mongolia in East Asia, the UAE in the Middle East and Algeria in North Africa. See the JLab lab tenders page for tender enquiries.
