Sample preparation / brief summary
WARNING! Observe the SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS at the beginning of the manual!
• Estimate the measurement range of the sample to be tested and the sample volume as indicated
in section 6.1.
• If necessary, pre-treat the sample as indicated in 6.2 (e.g. adjust pH value, filtrate)
• Measure the sample volume precisely with the overflow volumetric flask and pour into the BOD
bottle (use a funnel, if necessary)
• If necessary, add the nitrification inhibitor as indicated in section 6.1
• Place the magnetic stir bar in the BOD bottle
• Fill the seal cup with 3 - 4 drops of KOH solution and place the seal cup in the test bottle
• Screw the BOD sensors on the test bottles
• Hang the sample in the bottle rack
• Start the test (see section 5)
• Incubate the sample according to specifications (e.g. BOD
BOD Direct plus_BMU_2 03/2016
at 20 °C).
