Biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), measures oxygen depletion which represents the breakdown of organic material by microorganisms. Carbonaceous BOD (cBOD), measures oxygen depletion from the breakdown of organic material by microorganisms in which the contribution from nitrogenous bacteria has been suppressed.
Features:
• Automatic single or dual capping/decapping of BOD bottles.
• Universal platform accommodates a variety of racks for 60, 165 and 300 ml bottles.
• Barcode reader option provides sample tracking throughout the entire process.
• Optimize laboratory management with Day0, Day5, Day7 or Ultimate BOD (which is the total oxygen consumed when a biochemical reaction
has been completed).
• Automatic dispensing of liquids and quick measurement for Day0.
• Integrated blade stirrer for homogenization and optimal stabilization time.
• YSI Optical or Membrane probe, available in single or dual configurations.
• Automatic rinsing between samples preventing cross contamination.
• Pumps for each probe; for dispensing of dilution water, seed and inhibitor.
• Prime tubing with the click of a button.
Software:
• Set 5-day, 7-day or n-days incubation period.
• Rack-specific time tracking of incubation period.
• Data exportable to a LIMS in a compatible .csv format.
• Automatic flagging of “out-of-range” results by applying pre-defined
criteria for blanks, seed controls and standards.
• Automatic barometric pressure compensation.
• Automatic temperature compensation.
• Seed and inhibitor volume additions are user definable.
• Easy and quick probe calibration function.
• Date and time stamp.
