The BOD Pro™ – Automated BOD (Biochemical Oxygen Demand) Analysis System MANTECH automates the determination of the biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) according to international standards. The system fully automates sample preparation, dilution, oxygen measurement, and documentation, significantly reducing manual labor.
Thanks to its modular design, the system can be precisely adapted to the requirements of laboratories in environmental analysis, industry, and research – from semi-automated workstations to fully automated high-throughput systems.
The MANTECH BOD Pro™ automates the globally recognized 5-day and 7-day BOD methods according to international standards. The system handles all work steps from dilution to evaluation, thus ensuring reproducible results with significantly reduced personnel costs.
Depending on the expansion stage, the system automates:
- Sample Dilution
- Addition of dilution water
- Addition of seed solution
- Addition of an ATU inhibitor
- pH Adjustment
- Dechlorination
- Oxygen measurement
- Calculation and Documentation
All processes are controlled and documented via BOD Pro™ software.
Thanks to its modular design, the system can be expanded at any time. Autosamplers with different capacities, various DO probes, as well as additional modules for pH, conductivity, or alkalinity measurements can be easily integrated.
