Potometer
Potomètre facilitates rapid reset of the air bubble without dismantling the apparatus, allowing for iterative testing of environmental variables like wind speed and humidity.
Idéal pour une utilisation en laboratoire et sur le terrain. Minimizes systemic error from external evaporation, reinforcing the scientific method through the isolation of biological variables.

Potometer A Potometer is a laboratory instrument used to measure the rate of water uptake (transpiration) in a cut plant shoot, commonly used in school and college biology practicals studying plant physiology.
Potometer is priced at approximately ₹1,285 (indicative market benchmark, incl. GST, August 2026).
Product Description
A potometer is a laboratory instrument used to measure the rate of water uptake by a cut plant shoot, which serves as an indicator of the plant’s transpiration rate. Students set up the shoot in the potometer and track how far an air bubble or water level moves along a calibrated scale over a set time, allowing them to calculate transpiration rate and study how factors like light, humidity, and air movement affect it. This makes it a standard instrument for physiology practicals in school and college biology coursework.
