Slightly Radioactive Mineral and Substance Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India
Product Code : EL-GE-7457
Jlab Export is a leading Slightly Radioactive Mineral and Substance Manufacturer,and suppliers in India
Slightly Radioactive Mineral and Substance (code EL-GE-7457) is a set of slightly radioactive mineral and substance samples — granite, apatite, mica and zircon — used to show that some natural rocks and minerals give off a measurable level of radiation, in school physics and geology lessons and college laboratories. With a Geiger-Muller tube and counter, students can compare each sample with background radiation. It is made by Jain Laboratory Instruments Pvt Ltd (JLab) at its works in Ambala, India.

What Are the Radioactive Mineral Samples Used For?
Radiation is not only produced in laboratories: many ordinary rocks and minerals contain traces of radioactive elements. Zircon, apatite and granite can hold small amounts of uranium and thorium, and potassium-bearing minerals such as mica contain a naturally radioactive isotope of potassium. Placing each of the four materials near a Geiger-Muller tube and comparing the count rate with the background reading turns that idea into a measurement. The samples are used in secondary school physics lessons on radioactivity and background radiation, in geology lessons on radioactive minerals, and in college physics and earth science laboratories.
Handle and store the samples according to your institution’s rules for radioactive sources — for example, use handling tongs, wash hands after use and keep the set in a marked container.
What to Specify When Ordering
- Quantity — the minimum order is 10 sets.
- Detection equipment — add a Geiger-Muller tube and handling tongs if your lab does not already have them.
- Local rules — some countries regulate the import or school use of radioactive materials, including natural samples, so check your requirements and mention them in the enquiry.
- Delivery details — destination country and city or port, delivery terms and any tender reference.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which samples are included?
Granite, apatite, mica and zircon, each described as slightly radioactive.
Why are these minerals radioactive?
They naturally contain traces of radioactive elements — uranium and thorium in minerals such as zircon and apatite, and radioactive potassium in potassium-bearing minerals such as mica. Granite contains all three in small amounts.
What is the activity level of each sample?
The listing describes the samples as slightly radioactive but does not give activity figures or sample sizes. Ask JLab for these details with your quotation if your regulations require them.
What else is needed to use them?
A radiation detector such as a Geiger-Muller tube with a counter. Handling tongs are useful for moving the samples; both are listed separately below.
Who supplies the samples?
Jain Laboratory Instruments Pvt Ltd (JLab), from its works in Ambala, Haryana, India.
OEM Manufacturer
JLab is the trading name of Jain Laboratory Instruments Pvt Ltd, a physics, geology and laboratory teaching equipment manufacturer in India, incorporated in 2017 and located on Hargolal Road, Ambala, Haryana. JLab prepares this set at its own works rather than buying it from a trader, so schools, colleges, dealers and importers deal with the maker directly; each set is visually inspected before dispatch, and repeat orders come from the same works. JLab exports worldwide and serves buyers across all regions — Congo in Central Africa, Tanzania in East Africa, Uruguay in South America, New Zealand in Oceania and Poland in Eastern Europe are among the examples. Tender details are on the JLab lab tenders page.
