4 | Measuring System BD 600 | Department of Microbiology | Microbiology Laboratory 2 |
Lovibond® sensor system BD 600 is a 6-sample system that allows precise measurements of BOD based on a respirometric system for determining Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD). It›s easy to begin collecting data—simply add a sample to the bottle, add a nitrification inhibitor and place the sensor head on the bottle. Measurements are taken and stored automatically at regular intervals and can be retrieved at any time. |
