Calcium Chloride 2.75% w/v, BOD Testing Nutrient
Manufacturer: LabChem Inc.
The Calcium Chloride 2.75% w/v Solution from LabChem Inc. is a critical reagent specifically formulated for Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD5) testing. This solution provides a precise source of calcium ions (Ca2+), a vital micronutrient required to maintain the metabolic health of the microbial "seed" used to degrade organic matter in water samples. By utilizing this pre-mixed, standardized formulation, laboratories can eliminate the variability and potential errors associated with manual reagent preparation. This ensures that every BOD test is conducted under optimal, reproducible conditions, leading to more accurate environmental and wastewater data.
Description
Available in two convenient sizes to support both low-volume municipal testing and high-throughput environmental labs.
Features:
- Optimized Microbial Growth: Provides the exact concentration of calcium necessary to support the enzymatic pathways of aerobic bacteria during the 5-day incubation period
- Ready-to-Use (RTU): Saves significant technician time by removing the need for high-purity water sourcing, weighing, and validation of in-house standards
- Environmental Consistency: Specifically designed to meet the requirements of environmental, water, and wastewater analysis protocols
- Analytical Traceability: Manufactured by LabChem Inc. under strict quality control to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and reliable BOD5 values
Application & Safety Tips:
- Storage: Store at room temperature (15°C to 30°C). Ensure the cap is tightly sealed to prevent evaporation, which could alter the 2.75% concentration
- Handling: Always wear standard laboratory PPE (gloves and safety glasses). While this is a dilute solution, consult the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for complete disposal guidelines
IMPORTANT! BOD Nutrient Buffers: This Calcium Chloride solution is typically used as one of four essential nutrient components (along with Magnesium Sulfate, Ferric Chloride, and Phosphate Buffer) added to dilution water for BOD5 tests
Please refer to the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for complete handling and safety information.
