BOD Bottle 300ml

Product Code : SCL-LG-12003

The BOD Bottle 300 mL is a laboratory sample bottle used in biochemical oxygen demand testing and dissolved oxygen analysis of water and wastewater samples. Its 300 mL nominal capacity is widely associated with standard BOD procedures, making it suitable for environmental laboratories, water-testing facilities, educational institutions, and research laboratories.

Product Description

The BOD Bottle 300 mL is designed for laboratory procedures where a defined water or wastewater sample must be contained while minimizing unwanted interaction with atmospheric air. Careful filling and closure are important because trapped air bubbles or additional oxygen can influence dissolved-oxygen measurements.

The bottle supports water-quality analysis in environmental, educational, municipal, and research settings. It can be used alongside laboratory glassware, chemistry laboratory equipment, analytical laboratory equipment, and the broader laboratory equipment range.

Key Features

• 300 mL nominal capacity: A commonly used capacity for biochemical oxygen demand and dissolved oxygen procedures.
• Designed for BOD testing: Suitable for holding water and wastewater samples during appropriate analytical methods.
• Supports dissolved oxygen analysis: Can be incorporated into procedures that measure oxygen concentration in water samples.
• Controlled sample handling: Proper filling helps minimize trapped air that could influence analytical results.
• Water-quality applications: Suitable for environmental monitoring, wastewater studies, academic laboratories, and research work.
• Reusable laboratory format: Appropriate for repeated laboratory use when the exact product material permits cleaning and reuse.
• Transparent specification policy: No unsupported dimensions, glass grade, stopper type, tolerance, standard, or certification is claimed.

Technical Specifications

What's Included in the Kit

• One BOD Bottle with 300 mL nominal capacity.

The exact inclusion of a stopper, cap, numbered identification marking, or other accessories should be confirmed before procurement.

Applications / Uses

• Biochemical oxygen demand testing of water samples.
• Wastewater and effluent analysis.
• Dissolved oxygen sampling and determination.
• Environmental water-quality monitoring.
• Educational demonstrations of BOD and dissolved oxygen concepts.
• Research involving aquatic systems and water pollution studies.

How to Use the BOD Bottle 300 mL

1. Confirm the analytical method and ensure that the 300 mL bottle is appropriate for the procedure.
2. Inspect the bottle and closure for cleanliness, damage, or contamination.
3. Label the bottle according to the laboratory's sample-identification procedure.
4. Fill the bottle carefully with the required sample while minimizing turbulence.
5. Allow the bottle to fill completely according to the selected test method.
6. Check carefully for trapped air bubbles.
7. Close the bottle using the appropriate stopper or closure without introducing air.
8. Continue with incubation, dissolved-oxygen determination, reagent addition, or other steps required by the approved analytical method.

Safety note: BOD and dissolved-oxygen procedures may involve chemical reagents and biological samples. Follow the applicable test method, wear appropriate PPE, and handle wastewater samples as potentially contaminated materials.

Care & Maintenance

• Clean the bottle according to the analytical method and the nature of the previous sample.
• Prevent detergent, organic residue, or other contamination from remaining inside the bottle.
• Inspect the bottle and closure for damage before each test.
• Store clean and dry in a protected location to minimize contamination and breakage.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a BOD Bottle 300 mL used for?

A BOD Bottle 300 mL is primarily used for biochemical oxygen demand testing and dissolved oxygen analysis of water and wastewater samples.

Why is 300 mL commonly used for BOD bottles?

A 300 mL bottle is one of the commonly used capacities in established BOD and dissolved-oxygen procedures. The exact required volume depends on the analytical method being followed.

Why must air bubbles be avoided in a BOD bottle?

Trapped air can introduce additional oxygen into the sample and potentially affect dissolved-oxygen measurements. Samples should therefore be collected and closed according to the prescribed analytical procedure.

Can this bottle be used for wastewater testing?

Yes. A BOD bottle may be used for wastewater, effluent, and environmental water analysis when the selected BOD or dissolved-oxygen method requires this bottle format.

Does the BOD Bottle 300 mL include a stopper?

The exact stopper or closure inclusion has not been verified for this specific Science Lab Supplies product listing. Buyers should confirm the supplied components before ordering.

Is the BOD Bottle 300 mL made from borosilicate glass?

The exact material specification has not been verified for this specific product listing, so no particular glass composition is claimed here.
