Kit miroir d'argent, Standardized Glucose Reducing Agent enables the technical "Analysis" of the Tollens’ Test mechanism for aldehyde identification, reinforcing cognitive evaluation of organic functional groups.
Precision-Calibrated Reagent Ratios ensure repeatable thin-film deposition for the "Creation" of reflective surfaces, supporting vocational optics and surface science practicums.
₹760.00
Quick answer: The Silver Mirror Kit provides the reagents and apparatus for the Tollens’ test, a classic qualitative organic chemistry experiment used to identify aldehydes by the formation of a silver mirror on the inside of a test tube. Silver Mirror Kit is priced at approximately ₹760 (indicative market benchmark, incl. GST, August 2026).
The Silver Mirror Kit is used to demonstrate and perform the Tollens’ test, a standard qualitative test in organic chemistry that distinguishes aldehydes from ketones. When an aldehyde is added to Tollens’ reagent (an ammoniacal silver nitrate solution) and gently warmed, the aldehyde is oxidised while the silver ions are reduced to metallic silver, which deposits as a bright, mirror-like coating on the inside of the clean test tube — a visually striking and memorable result for students. This experiment is a regular feature of secondary school and undergraduate organic chemistry coursework covering the reactivity of carbonyl compounds. Because Tollens’ reagent must be prepared fresh and handled with care (it can form explosive silver compounds if left standing for extended periods), institutions should follow standard laboratory safety protocol and manufacturer guidance for reagent preparation, use and disposal.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the Silver Mirror Kit test for?
It is used to perform the Tollens’ test, which identifies aldehydes by their ability to reduce silver ions to metallic silver, forming a mirror-like coating on the test tube — a reaction that ketones do not typically give.
Is Tollens’ reagent safe to store after preparation?
No — Tollens’ reagent should be prepared fresh and used promptly, as it can form unstable, potentially explosive silver compounds if left standing. Follow your institution’s standard chemical safety protocol.
What level of coursework is this kit typically used for?
It is commonly used in secondary school and undergraduate organic chemistry coursework covering carbonyl-group chemistry and qualitative analysis techniques.
What does the kit typically include?
A kit of this kind typically includes the reagents and basic apparatus needed to prepare and perform the test; exact contents for this specific listing have not been independently itemised — confirm the precise kit composition with STEMAids before ordering.
Are exact reagent quantities available for tender specification?
Exact reagent quantities and concentrations 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.
