What Is the Plastic Trough Used For?
Collecting a gas over water works by displacement: gas led into an inverted, water-filled jar pushes the water out, and the jar fills with gas. The trough holds the water, and a beehive shelf placed in it supports the jar above the end of the delivery tube. This method suits gases that do not dissolve readily in water, which is why the trough is a regular part of gas preparation work in chemistry practicals.

OEM Manufacturer
JLab is the trading name of Jain Laboratory Instruments Pvt Ltd, a chemistry lab equipment manufacturer in India, incorporated in 2017 and based on Hargolal Road, Ambala, Haryana. The troughs are made in JLab’s own works rather than bought in from a trader, so schools, colleges, dealers and importers buy them direct from the maker, every trough is checked by eye before dispatch, and repeat orders are handled at source. JLab exports worldwide and ships to buyers in every region — Yemen in the Middle East, Nepal in South Asia, Canada in North America, Latvia in Northern Europe and El Salvador in Central America and the Caribbean are among the examples.
