BOD

Automated BOD analysis with SEAL Analytical BOD robots

Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) analysis is a critical method for assessing the amount of biodegradable material in water samples. SEAL Analytical BOD robots offer an automated solution that ensures accuracy and efficiency at every step of the BOD process, from sample preparation to final measurement. These robots are designed to reduce manual labour, reduce margins of error and increase throughput in the laboratory.

✅ Full automation: SEAL Analytical BOD robots automate the entire BOD process, including sample preparation, pH adjustment, incubation and measurement, ensuring that each step is performed with high precision.

✅ High accuracy: Eliminating the need for manual intervention reduces the risk of errors, leading to more reliable and consistent results.

✅ Cost-effectiveness: Automation saves both time and resources, making these robots a cost-effective solution for laboratories handling large volumes of samples.

How do BOD robots work?

SEAL Analytical BOD robots are designed to automate and optimise the entire BOD analysis process. By taking care of every step of the process, from sample preparation to final measurement, these robots ensure that the BOD values produced are accurate and reliable.

✅ Sample preparation and pH adjustment: The robot prepares each sample carefully and adjusts the pH levels automatically to ensure that the analysis is performed under optimal conditions.

✅ Incubation: Samples are automatically placed in incubators at a constant temperature, which is essential for microorganisms to properly degrade organic matter.

✅ Measurement of oxygen concentration: After incubation, the oxygen concentrations in the samples are measured, giving accurate BOD values that reflect the amount of biodegradable material.

✅ Data analysis and reporting: Data from the measurements are automatically processed and can be presented in the form of detailed reports that can be easily exported for further analysis.

Areas of use

BOD analysis is a crucial method for monitoring and assessing water quality in different environments. SEAL Analytical BOD robots are used in a variety of applications where accuracy and reliability are crucial:

✅ Environmental monitoring: Used to assess water quality in lakes, rivers and other water bodies, and to monitor pollution in industrial and municipal wastewater.

✅ Drinking water control: Ensures that drinking water meets the required standards by analysing BOD levels accurately.

✅ Wastewater treatment: BOD robots are used to monitor and optimise biological treatment processes in wastewater treatment plants.

✅ Research and development: Supports environmental science research projects by providing accurate and reliable BOD data.

With SEAL Analytical BOD robots, laboratories can ensure that their BOD analyses are carried out with the highest possible accuracy, which is crucial for maintaining environmental standards and ensuring water quality in various applications.
