COD100 Laboratory COD Analyzer
COD100 measures chemical oxygen demand (COD) of wastewater, surface water and industrial effluent by the closed-tube dichromate method (EPA 410.4, ISO 15705:2002): two LED light sources cover the 0–150 mg/L and 0–1500 mg/L ranges, with 2-point calibration, 200-result GLP memory and USB data transfer. The optional COD100R reactor digests 21 samples at a time.
Overview
Applications
- Wastewater treatment plants: influent and effluent COD, process control and reporting.
- Environmental laboratories: surface water and wastewater monitoring by a standardised method.
- Industry: food, dairy, chemical and paper effluents before discharge.
- Teaching: demonstration of the dichromate COD method.
Why COD100
- Standard method: closed-tube dichromate digestion per EPA 410.4 and ISO 15705:2002.
- Two ranges: 420 nm LED for 0–150 mg/L and 620 nm LED for 0–1500 mg/L.
- Simple calibration: 2-point calibration with standard solutions.
- Traceable data: 200 results with GLP data and USB transfer to a PC.

Selection guidance
COD100 is chosen when a laboratory needs COD results by the standard dichromate method without a full spectrophotometer. COLO.Science helps with the reactor, reagents and standards.
Configuration checklist
- COD level: expected COD of the samples — low range 0–150 mg/L or high range up to 1500 mg/L.
- Number of samples: daily sample count — the COD100R reactor digests 21 tubes at a time.
- Reagents: ready-made reagents or in-house preparation.
- Documentation: GLP memory and USB transfer for reports.
