Smoke Cell Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India
Product Code : EL-SLE-4728
Jlab Export is a leading Smoke Cell Manufacturer,and suppliers in India
Smoke Cell (code EL-SLE-4728) is a physics demonstration accessory for showing Brownian motion in air: a small cylindrical cell is filled with smoke, placed under a microscope and lit strongly from the side, so students see smoke particles jostled by invisible air molecules. It turns the kinetic theory of matter into something a class can watch. The smoke cell is made by Jain Laboratory Instruments Pvt Ltd (JLab) at its works in Ambala, India.

What Does the Smoke Cell Show?
Under the microscope the smoke particles appear as tiny bright points, because they scatter the side light towards the eye. Instead of drifting smoothly, each point dances about in a random, jerky path that never stops. The particles are being struck unevenly, from all sides, by the much smaller and fast-moving molecules of the air, which are far too small to see. This is Brownian motion, and it is the classic direct evidence that gases are made of particles in constant random motion — a key observation in secondary-school lessons on the kinetic theory and states of matter, and a useful starting point for discussing diffusion and gas pressure.
A typical method: let a drinking straw or a piece of string smoulder in a heatproof dish, draw some smoke into the cell with a teat pipette and close the top with a cover slip. Shine the light in from the side, focus a low-power objective on the cell, and adjust until the bright specks are sharp. Fresh smoke is needed when the particles settle. Run the demonstration in a ventilated room, keep the smouldering material away from paper, and let students take turns at the eyepiece while the teacher describes what to look for.
What to Specify When Ordering
- Quantity — smoke cells are sold individually; the minimum order is 10 units.
- Light source — ask whether you need a lamp or lens to illuminate the cell from the side.
- Microscopes — student microscopes can be quoted with the cells if your lab needs them.
- Kinetic theory set — add a kinetic theory model or apparatus to teach the topic from two angles.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a smoke cell used for?
To show Brownian motion in air. Smoke particles inside the cell are seen moving randomly under a microscope, which shows that air molecules are in constant motion.
Why do the smoke particles move?
Air molecules strike every smoke particle from all directions. At any instant the hits on one side do not quite balance those on the other, so the particle is pushed this way and that in a random path.
Is a microscope or lamp included?
The listing describes the cell being used under a microscope with strong side lighting but does not say that either is included. Ask JLab what is supplied, and add student microscopes to the order if needed.
Where does the smoke come from?
Usually from a drinking straw or string left to smoulder in a heatproof dish; the smoke is drawn into the cell with a teat pipette and the cell is covered with a slip.
What should students look for?
Small bright specks that jiggle about irregularly and never come to rest. Larger specks move less than smaller ones, and the motion continues as long as the smoke stays suspended.
What do I send for an export quotation?
The quantity, the destination country and port or city, preferred delivery terms such as FOB or CIF, any packing or labelling instructions, and a tender reference if applicable.
Who manufactures the smoke cell?
JLab, the trading name of Jain Laboratory Instruments Pvt Ltd, makes it at its works in Ambala, Haryana, India.
OEM Manufacturer
JLab is the trading name of Jain Laboratory Instruments Pvt Ltd, a physics lab equipment and school science apparatus manufacturer in India, incorporated in 2017 and based on Hargolal Road, Ambala, Haryana. The smoke cell is built at JLab’s own works rather than bought from a trader, so schools, colleges, dealers and importers buy it factory-direct, every cell is visually checked before dispatch, and repeat orders are handled by the manufacturer. The company is registered under CIN U29309HR2017PTC069123 and holds MSME Udyam registration UDYAM-HR-01-0003849 (manufacturing enterprise). JLab exports worldwide and ships to buyers in every region — for example Finland in Northern Europe, Rwanda in East Africa, the UAE in the Middle East, Botswana in Southern Africa and Poland in Eastern Europe. Tender buyers can consult the JLab lab tenders page.
Kinetic Theory and Microscopy Items
- Kinetic Theory Apparatus — a motor-agitated model of gas molecules in a tube for whole-class demonstration.
- Kinetic Theory Model — a cell-operated tube-and-ball model on a wooden stand.
- Student Microscope — a monocular student microscope for viewing the smoke cell.
More physics lab equipment for schools is in the School Lab Equipment range.
