The Velp Scientifica SA10210137 is an innovative, mercury-free, and extremely reliable BOD sensor system consisting of 10 BOD sensors, 10 bottles and a stirring station for BOD (Biochemical Oxygen Demand) analysis. BOD Determination is a simple and easy way for monitoring the microorganisms’ activity in water samples with extremely reliable results.

Microorganisms present or inoculated in a water sample containing biodegradable organic substances, consume oxygen for their metabolic activity, and produce a corresponding volume of carbon dioxide. The carbon dioxide gets absorbed by a strong alkali positioned in the neck of the bottle. The result of this process is a decrease in gas pressure. The F102B0133 BOD sensor measures this change in gas pressure from the beginning to the end of the analysis and provides the result in mg/l.
