Respirometer Experiment Kit Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India

Product Code : SCL-BP-12559

The Respirometer Experiment Kit is a biology laboratory apparatus used for demonstrating respiration by observing oxygen uptake and gas-volume change in respiring material such as germinating seeds. It is suitable for school biology labs, college practicals, science departments, institutional tenders, distributors, and educational procurement buyers.

Product Description

Respirometer Experiment Kit from School Equipments India is intended for supervised biology and plant-physiology experiments. It helps teachers demonstrate aerobic respiration, oxygen consumption, carbon dioxide absorption, gas-pressure change, and controlled observation methods in a clear classroom format.

A typical school respirometer setup uses a sealed chamber or tube for the respiring sample, a capillary or manometer system for liquid movement, and a carbon dioxide absorbent such as soda lime or potassium hydroxide where the approved method permits. Exact kit contents, chamber capacity, glass type, capillary scale, tubing, absorbent supply, and certificate details must be confirmed before publication or quotation.

Key Features

• Respiration demonstration apparatus: used to observe oxygen uptake in controlled biology practicals.
• Student-friendly observation: liquid movement in a capillary or manometer helps show gas-volume change.
• Seed respiration relevance: suitable for approved experiments using germinating seeds or other permitted specimens.
• Gas-exchange learning: supports lessons on aerobic respiration, oxygen use, carbon dioxide release, and metabolism.
• Control experiment support: can be used with comparison setups where the method requires a control tube.
• Reusable lab apparatus: glassware, tubing, and supports can be cleaned and stored for repeated sessions.
• Procurement-safe listing: final capacity, material, components, and documentation should be confirmed before order.

How to Use the Respirometer Experiment Kit

1. Inspect the chamber, tubes, stoppers, capillary, and seals for cracks, leaks, or blockage.
2. Confirm that the apparatus design matches the biology practical method.
3. Place the approved respiring sample, such as germinating seeds, in the sample chamber.
4. Add the carbon dioxide absorbent only if required by the SOP and handled by trained staff.
5. Seal the apparatus carefully and connect the capillary or manometer system.
6. Allow the setup to stabilise before starting readings.
7. Record liquid movement or volume change at fixed time intervals.
8. Compare readings with a control setup if the experiment requires correction for temperature or pressure changes.

Safety note: Use the kit only under trained supervision. Handle glassware carefully, avoid pressure build-up, and treat potassium hydroxide or soda lime as hazardous laboratory chemicals if used.

Care & Maintenance

• Clean glass and tubing after each practical to remove moisture, dye, seed residue, or chemical contamination.
• Check stoppers, seals, and tubing for leaks before every experiment.
• Dry all parts fully before storage to prevent biological growth and residue build-up.
• Store fragile capillary tubes and glass chambers in a protected cabinet or kit box.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Respirometer Experiment Kit used for?

A Respirometer Experiment Kit is used to demonstrate respiration by observing oxygen uptake or gas-volume change in respiring material such as germinating seeds.

How does a respirometer show oxygen uptake?

In a sealed setup, respiring material uses oxygen. When carbon dioxide is absorbed by soda lime or potassium hydroxide, the gas volume decreases and liquid movement can be observed in the measuring tube.

Does the kit include soda lime or potassium hydroxide?

Chemical absorbents are not confirmed. Soda lime or potassium hydroxide should be listed only if supplied with the final kit and supported by SDS documentation.

Is it suitable for school biology labs?

Yes. It is suitable for supervised school and college biology laboratories when teachers control setup, sample handling, timing, chemical absorbents, and glassware safety.

What sample is used in the experiment?

Germinating seeds are commonly used in classroom respiration experiments. Any biological material should be selected according to the syllabus, SOP, and teacher supervision.

What capacity is available?

The capacity is not confirmed. Add chamber volume, capillary range, dimensions, and model number only after checking the final datasheet or quotation.
