The simplest and cheapest way to observe CO2 release! Ideal for individual student use. These respiration chambers can be part-filled with lime water or bicarbonate indicator solution, the organism or material to be tested placed in the top chamber and the carbon dioxide given off or expired can be observed by change in the solution. Observation is easy due to the transparency of the box. The apparatus consists of an external chamber with an internal sample holder which is perforated to allow the exchange of gases. This holder prevents contact between the sample and solution below. Dimensions (Diameter x H): 35 x 75mm.

Pressed steel blade on a 130 mm handle.

The broad opening of this soil sampler makes it easier to inspect the soil sample while it is still in the auger. Total length of the sampler is 63 cm long and it yields soil sample of approximately 49 cm in length with diameter of 22 mm. Made from electroplated steel.

For any number of easy instant pH checks on soil or compost in the laboratory or garden. Reads direct from soil or compost without sampling. Includes full instructions on adjusting pH to suit individual plants. pH readings for pH 3.5 to pH 9.0 instantly shown on the meter's display.

This meter ensures the right individual light and moisture conditions. Tests the moisture deep down where the roots are.

Provides quick indications of soil moisture pH and light conditions.

Set of six stainless steel nesting sieves in plastic frame. Complete with plastic lid and receiver. Mesh numbers 5, 10, 35, 60, 120, and 230.

This Hanna Soil test kit is ideal for testing and monitoring the quality of the soil. Tests include pH level, nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium. Easy to use a soil sample is mixed with water and combined with one of the chemical reagents supplied with the kit. The resulting solution is compared to the colour chart supplied to determine the concentration of the element being tested, which is indicated as low, medium or high traces (except pH, which is between pH4 and pH9, in 1pH increments). The kit comes with all the necessary components for 10 tests of each of the parameters or 25 tests 4 parameters.

Mini Thermo-Anemometer

This carbon dioxide detector measures CO2, air temperature and humidity. A useful tool to help to regulate ventilation in enclosed spaces such as classrooms, indicating when fresh air should be allowed in to help remove air that contains virus particles and to help prevent the spread of Covid-19. People exhale carbon dioxide when they breath out. If there is a build-up of this in an area it can indicate that ventilation needs improving. This device adopts a high-precision non-dispersive infrared CO2 sensor that detects CO2 accurately and sensitively. Containing a high-capacity rechargeable lithium battery, making it easily portable. To preserve electricity, it powers off after 30 minutes of inactivity. A USB charging cable is also provided allowing simple recharging using either a PC or mains plug. Product specifications: CO2 concentration measurement; •Range: 0 to 9999ppm •Accuracy: +/-75ppm / +/-5% of rdg •Resolution: 1ppm Temperature and humidity detection; •Temperature range: -20 to +70°C •Temperature accuracy: +/-2°C •Temperature resolution: 0.1°C •Humidity range: 0 to 100%RH •Humidity accuracy: +/- 3.5%RH (20 to 80%RH) otherwise +/-5%RH •Humidity resolution: 0.1%RH Battery: 1000mAh rechargeable lithium battery Battery charge: USB 5V charging Dimensions: 90mm x 60mm x 47mm LCD dimensions: 49mm x 38mm Operating conditions: 0 to +50°C

Observe living creatures in this ventilated viewing pot with 5x magnification lid. Clear base with micro ruler.

These Pooters are designed not to be perfectly round so that bugs will find a crevice to hide in and are easier to observe. The jar contains two holes; one of which has a fine mesh covering to prevent bugs being drawn into the mouth. Two lengths of tubing (removable for easy washing) are supplied.
