Description
GSC International 1501-9 Osmosis Apparatus. The Osmosis Apparatus is a simple yet effective scientific tool used to demonstrate the principles of osmosis and diffusion across a semi-permeable membrane.
A double thistle tube with a porous membrane is held upright with the membrane covered end in a jar of water. When a sugar solution is added a the top of the tube, the liquid will rise in the tube. This apparatus clearly displays the concept of osmosis.
Includes:
• 1 Battery jar
• 1 Thistle tube with membrane
• 1 Stable support for the thistle tube
Demonstrates Osmosis Clearly – Designed to help visualize water movement across membranes, making complex biological processes more tangible for students.
Durable and Reusable – Constructed from high-quality glass and materials for repeated use in labs, classrooms, or homeschool settings.
Includes Semi-Permeable Membrane – Equipped with a functional membrane to simulate cell-like behavior during experiments.
Easy to Set Up and Observe – Simple assembly allows students or teachers to quickly begin experiments with clear, visible results.
Ideal for Classroom Learning – Perfect for biology lessons, STEM education, and lab demonstrations to teach core concepts like diffusion, osmotic pressure, and membrane permeability.
