Apparatus with a Wide Spectrum of Use
Product Code : SCL-CL-11463
Apparatus with a Wide Spectrum of Use (SKU SCL-CL-11463) is a general-purpose kit of side-arm test tubes, a dropper, rubber tubes and glass tubes that can be assembled in different ways for small-scale chemistry: generating and passing gases, adding reagents drop by drop, or carrying vapours to a second tube. Science Lab Supplies ships the kit from Ambala, India, to schools, colleges and training institutes and sends written quotations to distributors and tender contractors.
Specifications
What the side-arm kit contains is itemised in the table below. In short, the key parts are test tubes fitted with a side tube about 22 mm long that acts as a built-in outlet, a dropper for liquid reagents, rubber tubes for flexible connections and glass tubes that carry gas or liquid onward to a receiver.

Applications and Experiments for the Wide Spectrum Apparatus
A side-arm test tube works as a miniature gas generator or reaction vessel: the reagent goes in from the top, while gas leaves by the side arm through rubber and glass tubing. This makes one kit usable for many small experiments with low chemical quantities and little waste.
- NCERT Class 10 science: acids with metals and carbonates, and testing the gases produced, with the top of the tube closed by one of the Rubber Stoppers of Various Diameters Without Holes.
- Class 11 chemistry: small-scale gas preparation and tests in salt analysis, with flow through the rubber tubing pinched off by an Elastic Clamp for Rubber Pipes (Mohr Clamp).
- Middle-school science: simple reactions that give off a gas.
- Teacher-training and diploma labs: planning microscale versions of standard experiments.
Standard Scope of Supply
The kit contains test tubes with a side tube of about 22 mm, a dropper, rubber tubes and glass tubes. Stoppers, racks, heat sources and chemicals are not included and can be added to your quotation if your laboratory needs them for the planned experiments.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
You may request a quotation for a single kit or a class quantity. Each quotation spells out the packing, delivery time and price for that number, and extra side-arm tubes or tubing can be priced with it. As a laboratory glassware supplier in India, Science Lab Supplies can combine it with the rest of your list.
Science Lab Supplies holds an Importer-Exporter Code and is a registered exporter that can ship to buyers in Kenya, Ghana, Ethiopia, Tanzania, Uganda and the UAE. Describe the experiments you plan in a message from the contact page or pick the kit into the enquiry cart for a quotation; bid paperwork is outlined on the lab tender page.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a side-arm test tube used for?
The side arm is a gas outlet. With the top stoppered or fed from a dropper, gas made inside leaves through the side arm and tubing, ready to be tested or collected in a second vessel.
Why is it called an apparatus with a wide spectrum of use?
Because the same side-arm tubes, dropper and tubing can be set up for many different small-scale experiments rather than for one fixed practical with a single purpose.
Who supplies the Apparatus with a Wide Spectrum of Use?
Science Lab Supplies, from its Ambala, India office, supplies the kit to schools, colleges and institutes, and works out quantity quotations for distributors and tender contractors.
Is it safe for student use?
Small reagent amounts make it suitable for supervised student work. Students should wear Protective Glass eyewear and follow the teacher's instructions for any acids or gases used.
