Facilities & equipment

There is a large assortment of scientific facilities and equipment that is used for scientific research and industrial purposes. Besides the major well-known brands producing their models in high volume, there are many innovative companies and organisations designing and manufacturing exciting new instruments for chemical, physical and biological applications and analysis. At the same time, many suppliers and re-sell (more)ers increasingly focus on the re-use of existing used laboratory equipment. This drive towards a more circular economy offers unique opportunities for institutes and organisations to obtain valuable scientific instruments at a discount.

BOD Sensor Velp analysis system

BOD Sensor is an extremely reliable innovative solution for the determination of BOD, without the us (more)e of mercury. Easy to use, fast and simple. It screws directly onto the bottle containing the sample and a pressure transducer microprocessor transfers the BOD value directly to the display (in mg / l) and automatically stored in the BOD sensor (5 measurements at 24 hour intervals, offering the possibility of making the analysis even during the weekend). The BOD value can also be obtained directly from the display at any time, even after five days. Measurement is available on 4 different scales - 90ppm, 250, 600 and 999 BOD. For higher values, the measurement can be measured by diluting the sample. The BOD Sensor System 6 is a complete package for analyzing 6 samples simultaneously, consisting of a 6-position stirring base, BOD sensors, dark glass bottles, carbon dioxide absorption caps and magnetic stir bars. The BOD Sensor System 10 is a complete package for analyzing 10 samples simultaneously, consisting of a 10-position stirring base, BOD sensors, dark glass bottles, carbon dioxide absorption undercaps and magnetic stir bars. The stirring base has been designed to meet the user's needs, it is comfortable, guarantees a high quality stirring and the small footprint allows to accommodate up to 5 bases of 6 positions (30 samples) or 3 of 10 positions ( 30 samples) in a VELP incubator (FOC 200E). Determine the BOD value in 5 steps! To better analyze the BOD values with the innovative VELP Scientifica systems, based on the respirometric technique, capable of providing highly reliable results, just 5 easy and simple steps are enough: 1. Add the magnetic stir bar to the dark glass bottle, add the sample and place the CO2 trap filled with the necessary reagents 2. Incubate everything 3. Screw in the sensor 4. Monitor the activity of microorganisms 5. Read the BOD value (ppm or mg / l), based on the change in pressure inside the bottle due to the activity of microorganisms Technical features: Sensor display: 3-digit LED display Bod measurement: mg/l (ppm) directly on the display BOD scales: 90, 250, 600, 999, 4000 ppm, Higher values after dilution Bottle volumes: 500 ml Data storage: BOD values at 24h intervals Sensor construction material: Technopolymer Power: BOD Sensor System 6 2 W; BOD Sensor System 10 2 W Sensor battery type: CR 2430 Power supply: BOD Sensor System 6 Sensors: 2x3V lithium batteries Stirring Station: 230V / 50-60Hz or 115V / 60Hz BOD Sensor System 10 Sensors: 2x3V lithium batteries Stirring Station: 230V / 50-60Hz or 115V / 60Hz
