Description

Bottle BOD With IC Glass Stopper And Plastic Cap 125ml (Borosil®) 12

The Borosil® BOD (Biological Oxygen Demand) bottle with a capacity of 60mL, interchangeable glass stopper, and plastic cap is designed for use in laboratories to determine the amount of dissolved oxygen needed by aerobic biological organisms to break down organic material in water. Here are the full details:

Specifications:

• Material: Made from high-quality borosilicate glass, ensuring durability and chemical resistance.
• Capacity: 60 mL.
• Dimensions: Approximate outer diameter of 55 mm and height of 120 mm.
• Stopper and Cap: Comes with an interchangeable glass stopper and a plastic cap to prevent evaporation and contamination.
• Individual Numbering: Each bottle has an individual number printed for easy identification and traceability.
• Compliance: Complies with IS 9213 standards, although 60 mL bottles are not specifically covered under these standards.

Features:

• Purpose: Specifically used for the determination of Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD) in industrial effluents, waste, and water samples.
• Design: The plastic cap helps to avoid vapor loss during testing, ensuring more accurate results.
• Applications: Ideal for environmental monitoring, water treatment facilities, and research laboratories involved in water quality analysis.

Uses:

This BOD bottle with interchangeable stoppers is suitable for various laboratory applications involving liquids:

• Sample Collection and Storage: The BOROSIL® glass and interchangeable stoppers make it suitable for storing a variety of liquid samples, especially those sensitive to temperature or light.
• Chemical Preparations and Titrations: The high chemical resistance and clarity of the glass allow for safe handling and observation of chemical reactions.
• BOD Testing (if applicable): While BOD typically uses larger bottles (300ml is common), some procedures might utilize smaller volumes. Check with the manufacturer’s specifications or your specific BOD testing protocol to confirm if this size is suitable.

Selection Considerations:

• Chemical Compatibility: Ensure the BOROSIL® glass and plastic cap (likely HDPE or PP) are compatible with the liquids you intend to store or use.
• Application Needs: Consider if you need a completely airtight seal (glass stopper) or a more convenient opening/closing mechanism (plastic cap).
• Measurement Needs: If precise volume measurement is crucial, check for graduation markings on the bottle.

Additional Notes:

• Look for the manufacturer’s specifications to confirm details like graduation markings, pouring ring presence, and exact plastic cap material (HDPE or PP).
• BOD (Biological Oxygen Demand) is a specific laboratory test to measure the amount of oxygen used by microorganisms in decomposing organic matter in water. While the bottle name references BOD, it might not be specifically designed for this test; ensure it meets the required specifications if that’s your intended use. Especially for BOD testing, following standard procedures and using recommended bottle sizes is important.

Overall:

A Bottle BOD with Interchangeable Glass Stopper and Plastic Cap, 60ml (BOROSIL®) is a versatile laboratory bottle well-suited for storing, transporting, and working with various liquids due to its high-quality BOROSIL® glass construction, interchangeable stoppers, and chemical resistance. However, for BOD testing specifically, double-check if this 60ml size is appropriate for your testing protocol.
