• COD analysis widely used in municipal and industrial laboratories to measure the overall level of organic contamination in wastewater
• Contamination level is determined by measuring the equivalent amount of oxygen required to oxidize organic matter in sample
• CHEMetrics offers two dichromate reactor digestion methods for fast, easy, safe determinations of low-, mid-, and high-range COD levels in wastewater: the USEPA-approved Method*, and a mercury-free method
• Products using the USEPA-approved method contain mercuric sulfate in the reagent to eliminate chloride interferences and must be disposed of following local, state and federal laws
• More readily disposable mercury-free product line is applicable when chloride interference is not a concern and USEPA reporting is not required
• CHEMetrics leakproof reagent vials contain premeasured solutions of sulfuric acid and potassium dichromate
• To perform the COD determination, the analyst simply removes the Teflon-lined screw cap from the vial, adds sample to the vial, and replaces the cap.
• Vial is then heated for two hours at 150 degrees C in a standard digestor block.
• Once digestion is completed, results are obtained using any photometer that accepts 16-mm diameter cells
• CHEMetrics COD vials can be directly used in V-2000 multi-analyte photometer, CHEMetrics single analyte COD photometers, as well as in Hach spectrophotometers
• Built-in Hach COD methods and calibrations can be used without the need for a new calibration.
• A generic calibration table is included within the CHEMetrics kit for use with other spectrophotometers.

• A fresh reagent ampoule blank must be prepared for each series of tests; therefore the number of samples that can be tested with each kit will vary
