School lab equipment is the apparatus, glassware, models, consumables and instruments a school needs to run practical lessons in science and mathematics. Lss Kenya supplies this equipment to public and private schools, TVET institutions, polytechnics, universities, teacher training colleges, and national and county governments across Kenya and East Africa.

This category is the routing point for the full school range. It groups thirteen sections covering chemistry apparatus and kits, mathematics manipulatives, laboratory glassware, biology equipment, microscopes, clinical and communication equipment, and laboratory chemicals. Orders are handled by quotation: you send an item list with product codes and quantities, and receive pricing, lead times and delivery terms in reply. Mixed orders across sections are accepted on a single enquiry.

Lss Kenya was founded in 1989 and operates from Kirinyaga Road, Nairobi, with a workshop and service centre for installation, repair, calibration and maintenance.

What does a school laboratory need to be fully equipped?

For an adequately outfitted laboratory within a learning institution, there must be four elements at once; these include apparatuses suitable for the practicals in the syllabus, sufficient sets of the apparatuses to allow group work in classes, supplies used during the practicals per semester, and a technician locally who will service the apparatuses should they fail. Without any of these, the lab is partially functional.

Most school fit-out budgets are spent on the first item and the last three are added later — usually at higher unit cost, because small top-up orders lose the bulk pricing available on a single consolidated purchase order.

How do you plan a school lab order?

Work through four questions in order: Syllabus, Set size, Supply, Service. Syllabus decides which apparatus is needed at all. Set size decides how many of each. Supply decides what has to be reordered each term. Service decides whether the equipment is still working in year three.

Syllabus. Start from the practicals your teachers actually run, not from a catalogue. A titration practical needs burettes, clamps, conical flasks and indicator; a rates-of-reaction practical needs a stopwatch and gas collection apparatus. List the practical, then list the apparatus it requires.

Set size. Decide how many students share one set. A class of 40 working in fours needs ten sets, not one demonstration set. This is the single most common under-ordering error, and it is invisible until the first double lesson.

Supply. Separate durable apparatus from things that run out — chemicals, test papers, wood splints, filter media, batteries. Durables are a one-off capital line; consumables are a recurring term-by-term line and belong in a different budget.

Service. Powered items — balances, pH meters, stirrers, spectrophotometers, refrigerators — need a service route. Lss Kenya states a Nairobi workshop and service centre with trained engineers and technicians for installation, repair, calibration and maintenance, plus training workshops for teachers and lab technicians.

What is actually in each section of this category?

The sections below have been checked against the live catalogue. Chemistry Lab and Maths Lab are the two deepest sections; Lab Glassware is currently an index page rather than a product listing.

Section	What the range covers	Typical use
Chemistry Lab	The largest section on this hub — apparatus (distillation, melting point, organic chemistry sets, Hoffman voltameter, deflagrating spoons), balances, pH meters, electrodes and cells, molecular and crystal models, and packaged investigation kits (acids and bases, electrolysis, equilibrium, hydrolysis of salts, Le Chatelier's principle)	Secondary and college chemistry practicals and demonstrations
Maths Lab	47 items — abacuses, board instruments, balances, base-ten and interlocking cubes, fraction circles and strips, geometric solids, tangrams, number lines, Cuisenaire rods, clinometers, trundle wheels, calculators	Primary and secondary mathematics manipulatives and demonstration aids
Glassware Beaker	8 lines — low-form and tall-form beakers with and without spout, tablet disintegration beakers, polypropylene Euro-design beakers and measuring jugs, plus a beaker brush and a stainless-steel beaker tong	Heating, mixing and approximate volume work at the bench
Lab Glassware	An overview page describing beakers, funnels, flasks and burettes and the difference between borosilicate glass and polypropylene items; it currently carries no product listings of its own	Orientation before selecting a specific glassware section
Cold Chain Equipment	27 items — solar direct drive and mains vaccine refrigerators and freezers, cold boxes, vaccine carriers, water packs, freeze indicators and 30-day temperature loggers	Immunisation and health-programme cold chain, not school science teaching

The remaining sections in the grid — Laboratory funnel, Laboratory Flasks, Glassware Burette, Biology Lab Equipment, Clinical Laboratory, Communication Equipment, Microscope and Lab Chemicals — are listed in the grid above. Specifications for individual items are available on request.

What should you check before approving a school lab quotation?

Check six things: the product code, the published specification, the power supply for anything electrical, the quantity per pack, what the item consumes in use, and who installs and services it. Quoting by product code rather than product name avoids the most common ordering error, because several similar items share near-identical names.

Criterion	What to check
Product code	Every item carries an LSK- code (for example LSK-CL-10040, LSK-ML-10093). Quote the code, not the name — the catalogue contains near-duplicate names such as two electrolysis kits and two salt bridges
Published specification	Some lines publish real figures (a beam balance at 2 kg capacity with a 20 cm pan; an electrode plate at 100 × 45 mm). Others publish a sentence of description only. Request the datasheet for anything you are specifying against a syllabus requirement
Power supply	Voltage and frequency are published on some powered items and omitted on others. Confirm supply, phase and plug type for every electrical item before shipment
Quantity and pack size	Pack quantities are not published on most lines. State the quantity you need per class in the enquiry rather than assuming a set
Consumables and spares	Lss Kenya states spare parts and accessories are held in stock. Ask which consumables the item uses and order the first term's supply with the equipment
Safety documentation	Safety data sheets are available for chemicals on request. Ask for them at quotation stage, not on delivery
Installation, training and service	Installation, repair, calibration and maintenance are provided from the Nairobi service centre, along with training workshops for teachers, lab technicians and students. Put these in the tender scope so they are priced in

How are orders, delivery and returns handled in Kenya?

Orders are placed by email or phone with product codes and quantities, or through the site. Delivery is stated as 1–2 business days within the Nairobi metro area and 3–5 business days elsewhere in Kenya, with a tracking link sent by email after dispatch. International deliveries vary and are quoted separately.

Returns must be authorised within 14 days of receiving the goods; contact support with the order number and details of the fault, and return shipping or replacement is arranged from there.

Institutions can purchase tax-exempt by supplying an exemption certificate. Quotations include shipping and VAT information. Samples of items such as microscopes or school science kits can be requested before committing to a bulk order.

Can Lss Kenya supply a complete laboratory rather than individual items?

Yes. Lss Kenya states it supplies bundled school laboratory packages for Physics, Biology, Chemistry and Maths designed against the syllabus, as well as complete laboratory set-ups for schools, colleges, universities, research institutions, hospitals and industrial laboratories.

For a whole-laboratory enquiry, send the room dimensions, the class size, the subjects taught and the practicals your teachers run. Bulk and custom quotations return pricing, lead times and available discounts.

Can a school buy tax-exempt?

Yes. Institutions select the tax-exempt option and send their exemption certificate to Lss Kenya. Once approved, applicable taxes are removed from future orders. Quotations otherwise include shipping and VAT information so the figure you approve is the figure you pay.

Can we order items from several sections on one purchase order?

Yes. Mixed orders across categories are accepted — for example glassware, chemistry apparatus and maths manipulatives together. Send the product codes and quantities in one list and a single quotation covering shipping and VAT is returned.

Do you supply syllabus-matched packages rather than single items?

Yes. Bundled school laboratory packages are offered for Physics, Biology, Chemistry and Maths, designed against the syllabus, alongside complete laboratory set-ups for schools, colleges, universities and technical institutions. Send the subjects taught and the class size for a package quotation.

Can we see a sample before placing a bulk order?

Yes. Samples of items such as microscope laboratory equipment or school science kits can be requested. Send your application details with the enquiry. This is worth doing for any item that will be bought in quantity or that students will handle daily.

What happens if equipment arrives damaged or faulty?

The returns need to be approved within 14 days of receiving them. Inform the customer care department with the order number and the description of the fault, and the process will be done. In case of faults that arise at a later time, provide the serial number of the equipment along with the fault.

Do you install and service the equipment you supply?

Yes. Lss Kenya states a workshop and service centre in Nairobi with trained engineers and technicians providing installation, repair, calibration and maintenance, plus training workshops for teachers, laboratory technicians and students. Include installation and training in your tender scope so they are priced with the equipment.
