Product Code : SCL-CL-11454
Apparatus for Demonstrating the Galvanic Element (With Galvanometer) (SKU SCL-CL-11454) builds a two-beaker galvanic cell of the Daniell type: zinc and copper plates stand in separate solutions joined by a U-shaped glass bridge, and a laboratory galvanometer shows the current the cell produces. It can be used in chemistry and physics lessons on electrochemistry. Science Lab Supplies in Ambala, India, sources the complete set and quotes it to schools, colleges, institutes, resellers and tender contractors.
Specifications
Every part of the zinc-copper galvanic set has a row in the following table. In short, two graduated 250 ml glass cups hold the half-cells, a zinc plate and a copper plate serve as electrodes, a U-shaped glass tube links the solutions, and conductor wire connects the plates to the laboratory galvanometer.

Applications and Experiments for the Galvanic Element Apparatus
This galvanic cell set shows how a spontaneous redox reaction between zinc and copper ions produces an electric current. The galvanometer deflection makes the current visible, and removing the bridge shows why the circuit needs ion flow between the two half-cells.
- Class 12 chemistry (electrochemistry): the Daniell cell, electrode reactions and the role of the salt bridge, read against the Reduction Potential wall chart.
- NCERT Class 10 science: reactivity series, with zinc displacing copper; other metal pairs can be tried with Metal Strip electrodes of aluminium, copper, lead or zinc.
- B.Sc. physical chemistry: introducing galvanic cells before EMF measurements.
- Physics classes: chemical cells as sources of current.
Standard Scope of Supply
Each set comprises two graduated 250 ml glass cups, one zinc and one copper plate electrode, the U-shaped glass bridge tube, a laboratory galvanometer and the electrical conductor for connections. Zinc sulfate and copper sulfate solutions, or other electrolytes, are prepared by the laboratory and are not included.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
A quotation can cover one demonstration set or enough sets for group work at every bench. It will state the packing, delivery time and price for that quantity, and spare electrode plates can be added, so schools planning school chemistry lab equipment in India can buy the whole cell practical at once.
Science Lab Supplies, a registered exporter with an Importer-Exporter Code, can ship to buyers in South Africa, Qatar, Sri Lanka, Vietnam, Malaysia and Peru. Tell us how many cell sets each bench needs through the contact page, or tick them into the enquiry cart; buyers working to a published tender can check the lab tender page.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the U-shaped glass tube for?
It is the bridge between the two half-cells. Filled with an electrolyte, it lets ions move between the cups so the circuit is completed; a separate Salt Bridge with 13 mm arms suits later EMF work.
Is the galvanometer included?
Yes. A laboratory galvanometer is part of the set, so the current from the zinc-copper cell can be shown to the class without buying a separate meter or other instruments.
Who supplies the Apparatus for Demonstrating the Galvanic Element (With Galvanometer)?
Science Lab Supplies handles supply of this set from Ambala, India. Schools and colleges can buy a single set, and distributors or tender contractors can request pricing for larger quantities.
Are the solutions supplied?
No. The set covers glassware, electrodes, galvanometer and wire. Copper sulfate is harmful, so prepare and handle solutions with gloves and eye protection under supervision.
