Kit for Demonstration of Transpiration in Plants
Product Code : SCL-BLE-11621
Kit for Demonstration of Transpiration in Plants (SKU SCL-BLE-11621) is a set for showing how water travels through a plant and is lost from its surface as vapour, made up of a tripod, a 600 ml beaker, colouring liquid, a 20 x 200 x 2 mm glass tube and a clamp. It supports Class 10 and Class 11 biology lessons on transport and transpiration and B.Sc. plant physiology. Science Lab Supplies provides the transpiration kit from Ambala, India, to schools, colleges, training institutes, tender contractors and distributors.
Specifications
The table gives one row to each part of the transpiration kit. In brief, a tripod and clamp hold a 20 x 200 x 2 mm glass tube in position, while a 600 ml beaker holds the water tinted with the colouring liquid, so the uptake and movement of water by a plant shoot can be followed by eye.

Applications and Experiments for the Transpiration Demonstration Kit
Transpiration is the loss of water vapour from a living plant, mainly through the leaves. Unlike simple evaporation it is regulated by the plant itself, and the coloured water in this kit makes the route from stem to leaf visible. The kit fits NCERT Class 10 and Class 11 practicals and B.Sc. plant physiology.
- Class 10 biology: showing that water moves up the stem through the conducting vessels, with the shoot standing in tinted water in a Borosilicate Beaker for a comparison set.
- Class 11 biology: demonstrating transpiration from leaves and discussing how light, wind and humidity change its rate.
- B.Sc. plant physiology: running parallel set-ups with leafy and leafless shoots, each held on a Laboratory Retort Stand.
In young plants, every surface exposed to air can lose water, so a fresh, leafy shoot gives the clearest result. Shelf life depends on the chemical, its grade and storage conditions; ask us for the expiry date of the batch you are quoted.
Standard Scope of Supply
Each kit comprises a tripod, a 600 ml beaker, a bottle of colouring liquid, a glass tube measuring 20 x 200 x 2 mm and a clamp. Plant material is not included, and a fresh leafy shoot or young potted plant is prepared by the laboratory on the day.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
Ask Science Lab Supplies to quote one kit or a set for each bench in a biology class. The quotation will show the price for that quantity, the packing used and the delivery time, and potometers or other plant physiology kits can appear on the same quotation.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is transpiration, and how does the kit show it?
Transpiration is the loss of water vapour from a living plant's surface, mainly the leaves. In the kit, a shoot draws coloured water from the beaker, so the path through the stem and leaf vessels becomes visible.
How is transpiration different from evaporation?
Evaporation is a purely physical process, but transpiration is also controlled by the plant, which regulates water loss through its leaves. The environment affects both, which makes transpiration a complex physiological process.
Who supplies the Kit for Demonstration of Transpiration in Plants?
Science Lab Supplies supplies the kit from Ambala, India, for schools, colleges and distributors, and can include potometers or osmosis apparatus in the same order.
