How to choose the correct COD100 configuration
When selecting the COD100 laboratory COD analyzer, the expected COD concentration range, sample type, number of samples per batch, required digestion workflow, reporting needs and internal SOP requirements should be defined first.
COLO.Science can help confirm whether the laboratory requires analyzer-only configuration or a complete analyzer plus COD100R digestion reactor setup, including matching reagents, COD tubes, standards and documentation.
COD100 laboratory COD analyzer for routine wastewater and water quality analysis
The COD100 laboratory COD analyzer is useful when a laboratory needs a compact and standardized COD testing platform for water and wastewater samples. Dual range measurement, closed tube digestion, USB data export and optional 21-position digestion support make it practical for routine laboratory workflows.
COD result quality depends on reagent selection, digestion conditions, standard calibration, sample preparation, chloride interference control where relevant, vial handling and method discipline. COD100 provides the measurement platform, while COLO.Science can help define the correct COD100 configuration for the laboratory workflow.
