How It Is Used
In the BOD test the bottle is filled with the water sample and incubated, and the dissolved oxygen used up by microorganisms breaking down organic matter is measured over the 5-day period. After the stopper is pushed in, a little distilled water is held in the flared mouth; this water seal stops air getting into the sample during incubation at 20 °C.
Frequently Asked Questions
What size is the BOD Bottle?
It holds 300 ml and measures approx. 165 mm in height and 69 mm in diameter.
How does the BOD Bottle stop air reaching the sample?
Distilled water sits in the flared mouth above the inserted stopper and forms a water seal, a barrier against air during the 5-day incubation.
