FAQ'S
A BOD (Biochemical/Biological Oxygen Demand) incubator is laboratory equipment that maintains a precise, stable temperature to incubate biological samples, most commonly water and wastewater samples for BOD testing, as well as microbial cultures and tissue samples, under controlled conditions isolated from external environmental fluctuation.
BOD (Biochemical Oxygen Demand) testing measures the amount of dissolved oxygen microorganisms consume while breaking down organic matter in a water or wastewater sample, typically over a standardized 5-day incubation period at a fixed temperature (commonly 20°C). Even small temperature drift changes microbial activity rates, which is why incubator accuracy directly affects whether a test result is valid.
A BOD incubator is optimized for water/wastewater BOD testing and general sample incubation, typically operating from 10°C to 60°C. A bacteriological incubator is built specifically for bacterial culture growth and, in advanced models, adds humidity and CO₂ control alongside temperature, a feature set BOD incubators don't include.
Check the temperature range and accuracy against your test protocol (±1.0°C is standard for BOD work), stainless steel interior construction for corrosion resistance, data logging capability for accreditation records, NABL-traceable calibration, and door/temperature deviation alarms. These determine whether the incubator's output will hold up under NABL lab accreditation audits.
Kesar Control's BOD incubator operates from 10°C to 60°C with ±1.0°C accuracy and ±2.0°C uniformity, using PLC or PID-based control depending on the model.
The BOD incubator is available from 90 litres to 1,000 litres across the KGOB series, with tray capacity from 2 to 10 trays, and STD, GMP, or cGMP material of construction options for different regulatory environments.
The BOD incubator includes password-protected door access, a temperature deviation alarm, power failure alarm, continuous open-door alarm, extreme temperature cut-off protection, and automatic changeover for the refrigeration system on PLC-based models.
Yes. Both the PID and PLC control options store temperature data with date, time, setpoint, process value, and door open/close events, either printed directly or transferred via USB or Ethernet, supporting NABL lab accreditation and audit documentation requirements.
