Apparatus for Photosynthesis
Product Code : JL-GLE-10838
The Apparatus for Photosynthesis (SKU JL-GLE-10838) is a gas-collection set-up supplied by JaincoLab for measuring the gas that aquatic plants give off while they photosynthesise. Glass vessels are mounted on a plastic panel with a stand; the gas collects in a calibrated capillary tube, where its volume is read, and plastic syringes draw it off for analysis. A user guide is part of the listing.

Uses of the photosynthesis apparatus
Because it measures the gas released by a submerged water plant, the apparatus suits practical work such as:
- Measuring the volume of gas an aquatic plant gives off over a set time
- Comparing the rate of photosynthesis at different light intensities, for example by changing the distance of a lamp
- Studying the effect of dissolved carbon dioxide, such as added sodium hydrogen carbonate, on the rate
- Studying the effect of water temperature on the rate
- Drawing off a gas sample with a syringe for further testing
Scope of supply and ordering
According to the listing, the apparatus comes mounted on its plastic panel with the stand, the calibrated capillary tube, plastic syringes and a user guide. Anything else packed with it, and the quantity, is confirmed on the quotation.
Frequently asked questions
How is the volume of gas measured?
It is read on the calibrated capillary tube; the gas can then be drawn off with the plastic syringes for analysis.
Which plants is it used with?
Aquatic plants, which release gas under water while they photosynthesise.
What are the dimensions?
The apparatus is listed at about 7.5 in wide and 6 to 7 in tall, with a stand about 4.75 in tall, 8.5 in wide and 4.5 in long; exact sizes are confirmed on the quotation.
