  • A plant shoot is sealed in a plug that fits the end tube and the entire apparatus is filled with water.
  • The open end of the capillary tube is immersed in a beaker of water
  • The position of the air bubble easily adjusted by opening the glass faucet to let the water in the tank.
  • The whole unit is mounted on a wooden base painted with spring clips
  • Base: 20 x 80mm
  • Bore capillary:1mm


Accurate Measurement of Water Uptake

This potometer allows precise measurement of water absorbed by a plant cutting, providing valuable data for studying transpiration. Using a graduated glass tube, it delivers high precision readings (up to 0.01 ml, depending on the tube). The manual bubble introduction and reset mechanism make it easy to track and record changes, enabling effective experiments related to plant physiology.


User-Friendly, Durable Construction

Constructed from high-quality borosilicate glass and fitted with durable rubber connections, the potometer is designed for frequent use in educational environments. Its table-mounted stand ensures stability during experiments, and all parts can be quickly detached for straightforward cleaning and maintenance. Clear instructions and safe packaging further enhance user experience for students and teachers alike.

FAQs of Potometer .:


Q: How does a potometer measure water uptake in plants?

A: A potometer measures the water uptake by tracking the movement of an air bubble within the graduated tubing after attaching a plant stem or leaf. This movement, observed manually, indicates how much water the plant is absorbing, serving as an indirect measure of transpiration.

Q: What is the correct process for setting up and using the potometer?

A: To use the potometer, assemble and connect the plant stem to the rubber stopper, introduce an air bubble into the graduated tube, and ensure all connections are airtight. Place the setup on the provided tabletop stand, then observe and record the bubbles movement over time to measure water uptake.

Q: When should the air bubble be reset during a measurement?

A: The air bubble should be reset whenever the bubble reaches the end of the graduated scale or when you begin a new measurement interval. This ensures accurate and repeatable readings during extended experiments.

Q: Where is the potometer commonly used?

A: Potometers are primarily used in biology laboratories, educational settings, and classrooms for demonstrations and experiments involving plant transpiration and water uptake studies.

Q: What makes this potometer suitable for educational purposes?

A: This models high-precision construction, clear graduated glass tubing, reusable design, easy assembly, and the ability to introduce and reset the bubble make it especially suitable for teaching and demonstration purposes in biology.

Q: How should the potometer be cleaned and maintained?

A: All parts of the potometer are fully detachable, allowing you to rinse the glass tubing and rubber fittings with clean water. Ensure all pieces are dry before reassembly. Spare parts such as tubes and stoppers are available if replacement is needed.

Q: What are the benefits of using a manual, non-electronic potometer?

A: Manual potometers are reliable, require no external power, are cost-effective, and help students develop practical observational skills by tracking bubble movement directly, making them ideal for hands-on learning.
