Bacterial Oxygen Demand (BOD) | December submission pause 16 Dec 2024 to 3 Jan 2025Why BOD sample submissions will be paused on Monday 16th December 2024 Unlike most chemistry analyses, samples analysed for Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) require a 5-day incubation period. Both before and after this incubation, measurements of dissolved oxygen levels must be taken to ensure accurate results. During the Christmas period, midweek bank holidays disrupt this schedule. Additionally, our logistics network must be considered. For example, samples dropped off in Exeter on Monday 16th December will be delivered to our Heathrow Laboratory before being sent on to our Wolverhampton Laboratory on Wednesday 18th December, the final day of the year when analysis can be started. BOD analysis will resume on Friday 3rd January 2025. Read more |
