Nutrition programmes run on two things: accurate anthropometric measurement and the right testing or supplementation product for the finding. EduScope India's Nutrition Lab Equipment range covers both — growth-measurement scales and systems across every age group, plus nutrition testing and supplementation products — manufactured and supplied for schools, community health programmes, hospitals and nutrition-surveillance projects.

Nutrition lab equipment range

Nutrition equipment by age group and use

Which measurement tool matches which age group?

Anthropometric equipment in this range is age-specific, and using the wrong scale for the age group produces unreliable readings. For infants: the mechanical baby scale, spring-type infant scale, baby weighing trousers, baby weighing balance scale and baby weighing scale (sling type) — these differ mainly in how the infant is held (trousers, sling or platform) during weighing, which matters for infants who can't yet sit or stand unsupported. For combined mother-and-child screening: the mother-child scale. For adults: the beam-type adult scale. For standing or recumbent height: the length/height measuring system.

What testing and supplementation products are included?

Beyond measurement, this category covers products used directly in nutrition screening and intervention programmes: the salt iodine test kit for field testing of iodized salt, multiple micronutrient powder for point-of-use fortification, and F-75 therapeutic milk for the stabilization phase of severe acute malnutrition treatment. These are programme-specific products with their own protocols — confirm the applicable clinical or programme guideline before ordering quantities, and request batch, shelf-life and storage documentation for both the micronutrient powder and therapeutic milk.

Specifications and standards

How do the different baby weighing formats compare?

Each infant weighing format solves a different handling problem. Weighing trousers hold the infant in a seated position, useful once an infant can sit but shouldn't be laid flat. A sling-type scale suits infants who need to be weighed lying down or who are too young for trousers or a platform. A mechanical baby scale and spring-type scale use a flat platform for infants who can be laid down safely. Match the format to your field conditions — portability, power availability and the infant's ability to hold position — before ordering.

Who buys this range

How does this range connect to medical, clinical and cold-chain equipment?

Nutrition programmes commonly draw on Medical Products for general diagnostic supplies and Clinical Laboratory equipment for related sample-based testing. Where micronutrient powder, therapeutic milk or other temperature-sensitive supplies need storage, see Cold Chain Equipment.

Frequently asked questions

Which baby scale should be used for a very young infant who can't sit or stand?

A platform-based scale such as the mechanical baby scale or a sling-type scale suits infants who can be laid down; weighing trousers suit infants who can sit but not stand.

Does the length/height system measure both infants and older children?

Confirm the specific mode — recumbent length measurement for infants and standing height measurement for older children and adults are different functions, and the length/height measuring system should be checked for which it supports.

Does F-75 therapeutic milk need cold storage?

Confirm storage-temperature requirements directly for F-75 therapeutic milk; where cold storage is required, see Cold Chain Equipment.
