Clinostat Clock Type for Plant Tropism Experiments | Kenya School Supply
KSh15,400
Features
- Smooth, Synchronized Rotation: Features a reliable, ultra-slow clockwork or low-voltage motorized drive that rotates at a consistent speed (typically 1 to 4 revolutions per hour) to ensure accurate results.
- Multi-Angle Adjustment: The rotating head assembly can be tilted and locked at various angles, enabling both horizontal and vertical plant growth investigations.
- Large Cork Specimen Disc: Equipped with a thick, self-healing cork or high-density foam disk that makes it easy for students to securely pin seedlings, petri dishes, or small pots.
- Protective Acrylic Cover: Comes complete with a transparent plastic or acrylic dome shield that keeps humidity stable and protects delicate seedlings from external air currents.
- Stable Heavy-Duty Base: Mounted onto a rugged, powder-coated metal base fitted with non-slip rubber feet to prevent wobbling or tipping during long, multi-day classroom experiments.

Premium Clock-Type Clinostat for Plant Tropism and Growth Experiments
Demonstrate the profound effects of gravity and light on plant growth with our heavy-duty Clinostat (Clock Type). This essential physiological instrument is engineered explicitly for secondary schools, teacher training colleges, and university biology departments across Kenya to give students a clear, visual understanding of plant tropisms.
The apparatus utilizes a precise, slow-rotating clockwork mechanism or synchronized electric motor to turn a cork specimen disc vertically or horizontally. By constantly rotating germinating seedlings, it cancels out the one-directional pull of gravity, allowing students to observe how plants grow when gravitational stimulus is neutralized (geotropism) or manipulated (phototropism). It is an indispensable tool for the Kenyan KCSE Biology practical syllabus and advanced CBC life science projects.
