Quick answer: A Kipp’s Apparatus is a self-regulating apparatus used to generate a controlled supply of gas — such as hydrogen sulfide or carbon dioxide — by reacting a solid with a liquid reagent, commonly used in college and research chemistry laboratories, always under proper ventilation. Kipps Apparatus, Plastic is priced at approximately ₹800 (indicative market benchmark, incl. GST, August 2026).
The Kipp’s Apparatus generates gas on demand through a simple, self-regulating design: a solid reagent sits on a perforated shelf inside the middle chamber, and when a valve is opened, liquid reagent rises to contact the solid and starts the gas-producing reaction; closing the valve causes the liquid to recede below the solid, automatically stopping gas production until the valve is reopened. This makes it a convenient way to generate a steady, controllable supply of gases such as hydrogen sulfide (commonly used in qualitative inorganic analysis) or carbon dioxide, without needing to run and monitor a separate reaction setup each time gas is needed. Because some gases generated this way — particularly hydrogen sulfide — are toxic, this apparatus must always be used inside a fume hood or well-ventilated area with appropriate safety protocols, and only by properly supervised, trained users. The plastic (shatterproof polymer) construction offers a more break-resistant alternative to the traditional glass version for regular laboratory use.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is it safe to use this apparatus to generate hydrogen sulfide?
Hydrogen sulfide is toxic and must only be generated and used inside a fume hood or well-ventilated area, following institutional chemical safety protocols and under trained supervision — never in an unventilated classroom setting.
How does a Kipp’s Apparatus regulate gas production automatically?
Opening the valve allows liquid reagent to rise and contact the solid reagent, starting the reaction; closing the valve causes the liquid to recede below the solid, automatically stopping gas production until reopened.
What gases can this apparatus generate?
It is commonly used to generate gases such as hydrogen sulfide (for qualitative inorganic analysis) or carbon dioxide, depending on the reagents used — always follow appropriate safety protocols for the specific gas being generated.
Why choose plastic over glass for this apparatus?
Plastic (shatterproof polymer) construction is more break-resistant than traditional glass, offering added durability for regular laboratory use, though glass may still be preferred for certain chemical-compatibility needs.
Are exact chamber capacities available for tender specification?
Exact chamber capacities have not been independently verified for this listing. Institutions preparing tender documents should confirm precise specifications directly with STEMAids before finalising procurement paperwork.
Is STEMAids a registered manufacturer of this product?
Yes. Eduscope Smart Learning Solutions Private Limited is a Udyam-registered micro manufacturing enterprise (UDYAM-DL-06-0069460) and is ISO 9001:2015 certified. See the About page for full registration and certification details — manufacturer-stated, verify before citing in procurement documents.
