BOD Bottles with Penny Head Stopper (Product Code: SLE/GBO/04) are 60 ml clear borosilicate glass bottles closed with a pennyhead stopper — the flat, coin-like head that is easy to grip and twist into place. They hold water or wastewater samples sealed from the air during biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) testing and related dissolved-oxygen work. Heat and chemical resistant, they are made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, for environmental, water-quality and chemistry laboratories that need BOD apparatus in India and abroad.

| Application | Chemical laboratory; BOD and dissolved-oxygen testing |
In a BOD determination, each bottle is filled to overflowing with the sample or a diluted sample so that no air bubble is trapped, and the stopper is inserted. The dissolved oxygen in one set of bottles is measured straight away, either by Winkler titration or with a DO probe, while a matching set is incubated in the dark; the drop in oxygen after incubation shows how much oxygen micro-organisms consumed. Clear glass lets the analyst check for trapped bubbles before the bottle goes into the incubator.
These bottles hold 60 ml. If you follow a standard method that specifies a particular bottle volume, check that this size fits your procedure before ordering. Wash bottles thoroughly and rinse with distilled water between tests, since detergent or organic residues can themselves consume oxygen and distort results.
Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited produces these BOD bottles in Ambala, Haryana, and markets them, like the rest of its glassware, under the ScienceLab brand. Our company profile has more about the company.

More storage and sampling bottles are in the Glassware Bottles category.
What is the capacity of these BOD bottles?
60 ml. If your method calls for a different bottle volume, contact us before ordering.
What is a penny head stopper?
A stopper with a flat, disc-shaped head that is easy to grip when inserting and removing it. A version with a robotic-type stopper is also listed.
Why borosilicate glass?
Borosilicate is heat and chemical resistant, so the bottles tolerate repeated washing and contact with the fixing reagents used in oxygen determination.
Will my DO probe fit the neck?
Neck dimensions are not listed on this page. Send us your probe model or diameter through the contact page and we will check.
Are the stoppers matched or numbered to each bottle?
This is not specified in our listing; please ask when you enquire if your lab requires matched or numbered pairs.
Can you supply larger quantities for water-testing labs?
Yes. We supply laboratories, colleges and distributors in India and international markets; share the quantity and delivery location for a quotation.
