PC-BOD

Biochemical Oxygen Demand Analysis System

Information

BOD is an analysis that benefits from automation. An automated instrument improves the reproducibility in diluting samples with seeded dilution water and adding ATU. After a 5-day incubation period, initial and final results need to be calculated correctly, taking dilution factors and selection rules into account.
The instrument is fully ISO 5815-1 and EN 1899-1 compliant an is specifically designed for laboratories analyzing a medium or large number of samples per day
A MANTECH BOD instrument consists of:

  • AutoMax 122 Sampler with 24-bottle BOD-racks
  • YSI 5100 DO-meter and unmodified YSI 5905 DO-probe

or

  • YSI ProODO DO-meter with optical luminescence probe
  • Rinse pump for DO-probe and dispensers
  • Fast dilution pump, fills a 300ml bottle in seconds
  • Inhibitor pump
  • PC-BOD interface for system control
  • Level sensor
  • PC-BOD software for full system control, result calculation and rack monitoring

For smaller workloads, a BOD Mini instrument is available with the AutoMax 73 sampler which holds 11-bottle BOD-racks.
This autosampler has a smaller footprint and reduces the purchase price significantly.
