BOD Bottles with Penny Robotic Stopper (Product Code: SLE/GBO/05) are clear borosilicate glass bottles of 60 ml capacity, fitted with a stopper that our listing specifies as the robotic type — the alternative stopper style to our penny head BOD bottle. They are used where water and wastewater samples must be sealed without air between the first and final oxygen readings of a biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) test. Heat resistant and chemical resistant, they are made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, for chemical and environmental laboratories.

A BOD run usually needs a batch of bottles at once: blanks of dilution water, several dilutions of each sample and duplicate sets for the initial and incubated readings. Labs therefore order these bottles in quantity, label each one clearly and keep a log that links every bottle to its sample and dilution. Many water-testing labs now take the oxygen readings with a dissolved oxygen meter, which India's environmental and effluent labs use alongside the classical titration method.
If you plan to use the bottles with automated or semi-automated BOD equipment, confirm the stopper profile with us first so that it matches your system. Fill each bottle completely so no bubble remains under the stopper, and store incubating bottles in the dark to stop algae from producing oxygen during the test.
These BOD bottles are manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited of Ambala, Haryana, which trades as ScienceLab and supplies water-testing glassware to laboratories in India and international markets. Visit our company profile for background.

How does this differ from the penny head version?
Both are listed as 60 ml clear borosilicate BOD bottles; the difference is the stopper, which here is the robotic type. If you need a particular stopper profile, send us the details before ordering.
Is it compatible with my automated BOD analyser?
Compatibility with specific automated systems is not stated in our listing. Share the make and model of your equipment through our contact page so we can advise.
What volume does each bottle hold?
60 ml. Confirm that this suits the method your lab follows.
How should the bottles be cleaned between tests?
Wash them thoroughly, rinse well with distilled water and let them drain; any leftover detergent or organic matter can consume oxygen and bias the next result.
Can I buy replacement stoppers separately?
Please ask us; availability of loose stoppers is confirmed at the time of enquiry.
What information is needed for a laboratory quotation?
The number of bottles, the stopper type, the delivery location in India or abroad, and any paperwork your purchase department needs.
Request pricing through our contact form or list the bottles in your enquiry cart.
