Ganong’s Potometer

Product Code : SCL-LG-14457

Indian Lab Suppliers supplies the Ganong’s Potometer (Product ID: 14457) as part of its laboratory glassware range. It is a transpirometer that measures the water uptake of a leafy shoot during transpiration.

Quick Answer

The shoot is sealed into a wide-mouthed glass cylinder filled with water, which connects to a borosilicate glass tube bent twice so that the water column moves smoothly. As the shoot draws up water, the column in the tube moves; timing it over a fixed distance gives the rate of uptake. Changing light, air movement or humidity shows how each affects transpiration. Seal all joints so no air leaks in.
