Glassco BOD Bottle 60mL

A Glassco BOD Bottle 60ml (Biochemical Oxygen Demand) is a type of laboratory glassware used for the measurement of the amount of dissolved oxygen needed by aerobic biological organisms in a body of water to break down organic material present in a given water sample. These bottles are designed to hold water samples under specific conditions to measure the oxygen demand over a specified incubation period.

The “BOD bottle” is named after the BOD test, which is a common water quality test used to assess the organic pollution level in water bodies. The test involves sealing a water sample in a BOD bottle and measuring the dissolved oxygen content at the beginning and end of a specified incubation period, typically 5 days at 20°C. The difference in dissolved oxygen levels before and after incubation indicates the amount of oxygen consumed by microorganisms during the decomposition of organic matter.

A 60ml Glassco BOD bottle, as the name suggests, is a BOD bottle with a capacity of 60 milliliters. These bottles typically have a narrow neck and are designed to be stopped to create a sealed environment for the water sample during incubation. They are usually made of clear glass to allow easy observation of the sample during testing. Click to Know More
