About this event
Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) remains one of the most essential and labor-intensive tests in wastewater and environmental analysis. From sample pretreatment to final dissolved oxygen (DO) readings, accuracy depends on careful technique and consistent workflow management.
In this complimentary webinar, experts from Environmental Express and SEAL Analytical will:
- Review the complete BOD testing workflow from sample collection through final DO measurement.
- Share best practices for sample pretreatment, seeding, dilution water preparation, incubation, and more.
- Discuss common challenges such as variability, toxic samples, and nitrification interference.
- Demonstrate how automation and consumables—from Environmental Express BOD bottles and reagents to SEAL Analytical MiniLab robotics—can improve precision, reduce labor, and streamline compliance with Standard Method 5210 B.
The session is ideal for laboratory professionals performing BOD or cBOD testing in water, wastewater, and environmental labs.
