How Does It Compare with the JLab Plant Culture Set?
| Set | Format | Media listed |
|---|---|---|
| This set (EL-PE-7581) | Eight tubes, each making four litres of liquid medium | Complete medium plus seven media, each lacking phosphorus, iron, nitrogen, calcium, magnesium, potassium or sulphur |
| Plant Culture Set | Media in powder form, added to water before use | Complete medium plus a range of mixtures each deficient in one element; the elements are not named in its listing |
Choose the Sachs set when your practical sheet names the seven minerals and you want to know how much solution each tube makes; the Plant Culture Set covers the same idea of a complete medium against single-element deficient mixtures, for seedlings or cuttings.
What Is the Sachs Water Culture Set Used For?
Water culture, the method associated with the German botanist Julius von Sachs, grows plants with their roots in a nutrient solution instead of soil, so the teacher controls exactly which minerals the plant receives. Seedlings in the complete medium act as the control; seedlings in each deficient medium gradually show the symptoms of that missing element. In plant nutrition lessons in senior-secondary biology and college botany, students typically see nitrogen deficiency as yellowing of the older leaves and poor growth, magnesium deficiency as yellowing between the veins of older leaves, iron deficiency as the same pattern on young leaves, and phosphorus deficiency as stunted, dark or purplish plants. This plant growth experiment kit makes the link between each mineral and its role easy to see.
Dissolve the contents of each tube in distilled water to make four litres of medium, fill one labelled culture jar per solution, and support the seedlings so their roots hang in the liquid. Keep light off the roots, for example by wrapping the jars, to discourage algae, and top up with the same solution as it is used. Record leaf colour, height and root growth over the following weeks, comparing every jar with the complete-medium control.
What to Specify When Ordering
- Number of sets — the minimum order is 10 units; one set prepares the full series of eight media.
- Expiry date — ask for the batch expiry date with your quotation, especially for stock that will be used over several terms.
- Related plant growth items — add the Plant Culture Set, Soil Less Garden or culture jars to the same enquiry if your lab needs them.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which minerals does the set leave out?
Seven: phosphorus, iron, nitrogen, calcium, magnesium, potassium and sulphur, one per tube. The eighth tube makes the complete medium used as the control.
How much solution does each tube make?
Each tube contains enough material for four litres of liquid medium, so one set prepares eight separate media for a full comparison.
Why do some deficiencies show on old leaves and others on young leaves?
Nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and magnesium can be moved from older leaves to new growth, so their shortage appears first on the older leaves. Iron, calcium and sulphur move far less, so their symptoms usually start on young leaves and growing tips.
Are culture jars and seedlings included?
No. The listing covers the eight tubes of medium. Jars, supports and plant material are not part of it; seedlings are normally raised by the school.
What is the shelf life of the media?
Shelf life depends on the chemical, its grade and storage conditions; ask us for the expiry date of the batch you are quoted. Keep the tubes closed, cool and dry until use.
What should an export enquiry include?
Quantity, destination country and port or city, preferred delivery terms such as FOB or CIF, any labelling or packing needs and a tender reference where there is one.
Who manufactures this set?
Jain Laboratory Instruments Pvt Ltd, trading as JLab, produces it at its works in Ambala, Haryana, and quotes for it as the manufacturer.
OEM Manufacturer
JLab is the trading name of Jain Laboratory Instruments Pvt Ltd, a plant biology lab equipment and teaching-kit manufacturer in India, incorporated in 2017 and working from Hargolal Road, Ambala, Haryana. The water culture set is prepared at JLab’s own works and not bought from a trader, so schools, colleges, dealers and importers deal with the maker directly, every set is visually inspected before it is packed, and repeat orders come from the same source. JLab exports worldwide and can deliver to every region — for example Lesotho in Southern Africa, Costa Rica in Central America and the Caribbean, Mongolia in East Asia, Congo in Central Africa and Australia in Oceania. Tender details are on the JLab lab tenders page.
