BOD5 cuvette tests

Biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) is an important measurement parameter for anyone discharging effluent or running a waste water treatment plant. It is a difficult test to run and there are very few resources online which help new users get to grips with the technique.

 
Camlab offer a range of different analysis options for BOD to suit all types of user. The options are outlined below; from traditional bottle and multi-meter based set ups to bespoke all in one systems. Camlab can offer both demonstrations and advice to new and existing users, which will allow them to get the best results from this difficult analysis.

Multi-Meter Based

Ideal for single BOD sample analysis along with the ability to measure other parameter analysis (pH, ISE etc.). Camlab supplies several options from market leaders.

Hach Multi-Meters and DO Probes

The IntelliCAL LBOD101 Luminescent Dissolved Oxygen Probe can be used with:

• Portable multi-meters HQ40D and HQ30D
• Bench top multi-meters HQ440D

WTW Multi-Meters and DO Probes

Several combinations are available:

• StirrOx® G self-stirring dissolved oxygen sensor:
  • Bench top inoLab OXi7310 
• FDO925 cabled and F925-P wireless:
  • Bench top multi-meter inoLab Multi 9310 IDS
  • Portable wireless multi-meters MultiLine IDS 3620 IDS 3630 IDS and 3510 IDS

Lovibond Multi-Meters and DO Probes

SD 400 Optical Dissolved Oxygen meter series:

• Meter only no probe
• With a 1.5m cabled probe
• With a 3m cabled probe
• With a 10m cabled probe

All multi-meter options require accessories, Bod bottles and reagents.

Bespoke Systems 

Ideal for single and multiple sample analysis.

Lovibond BD 600 Series

The BD 600 is a respirometric system for the determination of Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD). The BD600 is equipped with an automatic start feature, measurement does not start until the temperature in the samples is the same as that in the thermostatically controlled cabinet. The system comes with all you need for analysis of 1-6 samples.

WTW Oxitop System

The unique feature of this system is that the heads contain the sensor and a measuring unit for independent setting and recording allowing a more flexible system. Options include:

• Oxitop-i IS -The OxiTop-i system is an easy-to-use BOD meter - Blue/Grey 
• Oxitop-IDS - The OxiTop-IDS provides versatility in measuring all kinds of aerobic degradation using different setups with Bluetooth connectivity to Multi 3630 IDS and Multi 3620 IDS meters. - Orange

Various system options available – contact us for details.

For an overview of the set up please watch the following Video.

Both bespoke systems have an extensive selection of accessories which includes their own brown glass flasks, overflow measuring flasks, stirring unit and reagents such as nitrification inhibitor and potassium hydroxide solution 45%. A thermostatic cabinet is an additional consideration.
