This ergonomic apparatus has been designed with safety and ease of operation in mind- making it ideal for use in education. A rapid heat switch allows higher temperatures to be obtained quickly. A single control knob on the front panel incorporates the main switch with arbitrary scale of 0 to 10. Sample tubes are illuminated from behind and magnified through a lens. Ceramic insulation around the aluminium heating block minimizes heat transfer to the casing. A selector at the rear of the instrument allows a light or dark background. Thermometer- capillary tubes and cooling plug available as accessories. Supplied with instructions. Electrical supply : 230V AC 50/60Hz; Weight : 1.5kg; Temperature range : Ambient – 350”C.

An easy to understand model of atomic structure, this is a graphic model of all the key components of the atom including the nucleus; the particles that constitute the atom including protons, neutrons and electrons; and the electron layers. This durable plastic model is transparent for convenient use with an overhead projector. Facilitates clear comprehension of the atom’s structure and such important concepts as atomic numbers, ionic and covalent bonding, electroneutrality, the filling of electron layers and the definition and calculation of ionic load.

Technical Specification :

Dimensions 150 mm D x 25 mm H

Optional custom-formulated reagents provide excellent accuracy- repeatability and stability. Maintenance-free. Photometric measurement- Transmission: 0-100% and Absorbance: 0-1.99 Modes- Auto Zeroing Facility- Highly Accurate & Stable- Range: 400 to 700nm- Soft Touch Membrane keys.

60-well microplate used in general microtitration, special procedures and hundreds of chemistry, biology and physics education experiments. This high grade plate is designed to the dimensions of standard 96-well and 48-well plates. The plate is divided into 2 sections : 48 small wells (volume 0.3ml) and 12 large wells (volume approx. 2.5 ml). Each well is identified by a grid reference system. The high grade polypropylene plates are optically clear and suitable for a wide range of inorganic uses. The small wells can be likened to ‘micro test tubes’ and the large wells to ‘micro beakers’.

Technical Specification :

These unique test plates are made of polystyrene. The plates are completely transparent and allow the passage of light for overhead projection, for instance in the demonstration of acids and bases to an entire class of students. The combo plates are designed to combine the features of 24 and 96 well microplates used in industry, pharmacy, diagnostics and research. The plates are dishwasher proof and may be used repeatedly. They are also designed to act as a base for the ancillary components of the Microscience System.

The Combo still comes highly recommended by leading educators and is widely used in school labs around the world, while also having applications in research. The Combo still is designed to replace expensive organic chemistry apparatus, micro science apparatus provides many significant advantages over more traditional methods. Moreover, the cost, safety and simplicity of micro science methods makes it much easier to implement teaching where smaller groups or even individuals conduct their own experiments, resulting in much better learning outcomes. Most activities can be set up and conducted in roughly a third of the time of traditional methods when using the Combo still while the smaller volumes of chemicals required mean huge cost savings and a much safer laboratory environment.

The Combo still comes with a Combo plate included, and has the following features :
Extremely safe
Minimizes chemical costs saving up to 80% compared to traditional apparatus
Realistic structure so students are led very comfortably into micro science procedures
A starting manual is provided with each Combo still
Time reduced drastically for any given experimental procedure
Energy requirement very low in order to initiate reaction

Designed to provide a safe demonstration of generation of heat by gas under compression. Cotton at the bottom of the tube ignites in a flash as the plunger rapidly compresses the gas in side the tube. Also known as a fire syringe/piston. The piston inside a heavy-walled combustion tube is housed inside a transparent plastic outer cylinder which provides an unobstructed view of the action inside the tube.

This comprehensive kit incorporates a variety of scientific techniques all themed around common kitchen materials. Contains enough materials for fifteen groups. Students will perform chromatography on commercial food colors, use chemical tests to identify an unknown cooking ingredient, examine the protein digesting ability of a common meat tenderizing enzyme, use titration to quantify vitamin C levels and then test an unknown juice or soda (not provided), and lastly examine some of the differences and similarities in the materials used to clean up (soap, hand and machine dishwashing detergents).
