Wheaton BOD Bottle 300 mL (227497‑00G)

The Wheaton BOD Bottle (model 227497-00G) is a precision glass container designed for Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) testing and other water-quality analysis tasks. It features clear borosilicate (Type I) glass for maximum clarity and chemical durability, and holds 300 mL capacity—ideal for the standard five-day BOD test.

Key Features

• Made from Type I borosilicate glass, offering superior chemical resistance and thermal stability.

• Designed with a special shoulder radius that sweeps air from inside the bottle during filling, reducing air entrapment.

• Features a flared mouth that forms a water seal around the stopper during incubation, preventing air ingress.

• Compatible with penny-head stoppers and probes for dissolved-oxygen metrics.

• Clear glass body allows visual monitoring of sample clarity and changes.

Specifications

Applications

• Ideal for environmental laboratories that perform the standard 5-day BOD test on sewage, effluents, or industrial waste.

• Suitable for water quality monitoring, research, or regulatory analysis where controlled incubation and minimal air entry are critical.

• Recommended when clarity, chemical durability, and repeatable accuracy are required.

Maintenance & Handling Tips

• Before use, inspect the bottle and stopper for chips or cracks; damaged glass may compromise test results.

• After use, clean with mild detergent and rinse thoroughly to remove residue—avoid abrasive cleaners.

• Dry completely and store upright in a clean, safe location away from extreme temperature changes.

• During tests, ensure the stopper is properly seated to maintain the water seal and prevent air intrusion.
