Glassco BOD Bottle 125mL

Description

A Glassco BOD (Biochemical Oxygen Demand) bottle with a capacity of 125 milliliters is a type of laboratory glassware commonly used for conducting BOD tests. Like other BOD bottles, it is specifically designed to hold water samples under controlled conditions for the measurement of biochemical oxygen demand.

In a BOD test, the bottle is filled with a water sample and then sealed to create an airtight environment. This allows the dissolved oxygen level in the water to be measured at the beginning and end of a specified incubation period, typically 5 days at 20°C. The difference in dissolved oxygen concentrations before and after incubation is used to calculate the amount of oxygen consumed by microorganisms during the degradation of organic matter present in the sample.

The 125ml capacity of the Glassco BOD bottle refers to the volume of liquid it can hold. These bottles typically have a narrow neck and are designed to be stopped to maintain a sealed environment during incubation. They are made of clear glass to allow easy observation of the sample during testing and are commonly used in environmental and water quality laboratories for assessing organic pollution levels in water bodies.
