Ganong's Potometer

Ganong’s potometer is a classic piece of biology apparatus used to investigate the rate of transpiration in plant shoots. It allows students to explore how environmental factors such as light, temperature, and air movement affect water uptake.

Key Features

• Complete potometer unit for demonstrating transpiration in plant shoots
• Enables investigation of how light, temperature, humidity, and wind affect water uptake
• Clear tubing and scale help students observe and measure movement of the water column
• Robust construction suitable for repeated use in school laboratories
• Supplied without plant material so teachers can select suitable local species

Specifications

• Type: Ganong’s potometer apparatus
• Application: Measurement of transpiration rates and water uptake
