Now anyone can get accurate, reliable biochemical oxygen demand water quality determinations without complicated procedures, calculations or previous training. Hach Model 2173 manometric BOD measurements compare within ‘5% of standard APHA dilution procedures and, at the same time, cost less to operate than other manometric set-ups used (Warburg and Sierp). The Model 2173 BOD reads directly in ranges from 0-35 ppm to 0-350 ppm. Progressive readings are easily graphed where rate data is required. And, the new compact design requires minimum incubator space. No buffers are required. The Hach Model 2173 BOD comes complete with five sample mixing bottles, mag. netic stirring bars, and all necessary accessories. Price $200 F.O.B. Ames, Iowa, U.S.A.
