COD DIGESTION UNIT
A COD digestion unit is a laboratory device used to measure the Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) of water or wastewater. It heats samples with a strong oxidizing agent (usually potassium dichromate in sulfuric acid) at 150°C for two hours. This process oxidizes organic matter, indicating pollution levels. It’s essential for water quality analysis in environmental monitoring.

A water distiller is a device used to purify water by boiling it into steam and then condensing the steam back into liquid. This process removes impurities such as salts, heavy metals, microorganisms, and most chemicals. Distilled water is often used in laboratories, medical settings, and for appliances like steam irons where mineral-free water is required. Although effective, distillation is slower and more energy-intensive compared to other filtration methods.
A laboratory chiller is a cooling device used to maintain a constant low temperature for laboratory instruments or processes. It works by circulating chilled fluid (like water or glycol) through equipment such as rotary evaporators, condensers, lasers, or reactors to dissipate heat.
Agilent HPLC (High-Performance Liquid Chromatography) systems are advanced analytical instruments used for separating, identifying, and quantifying compounds in a mixture. Manufactured by Agilent Technologies, these systems are widely used in pharmaceuticals, environmental testing, food safety, and chemical research. Agilent HPLCs are known for their high precision, reliability, and user-friendly software (such as OpenLab or ChemStation). Common models include the Agilent 1100, 1200, and 1260 Infinity series.
The Kjeldahl apparatus is used to determine the nitrogen content in organic compounds, which helps estimate protein levels in food, feed, and other samples. The process involves digestion, distillation, and titration. In digestion, nitrogen is converted to ammonium sulfate; during distillation, ammonia is released and captured; titration quantifies nitrogen. It’s widely used in agriculture, food, and environmental labs.
An HPLC column (High-Performance Liquid Chromatography column) is a crucial component of an HPLC system used to separate, identify, and quantify components in a liquid sample.
Hydrotherm boilers are high-efficiency heating systems used in residential and commercial buildings. They operate using hot water or steam and are typically gas-fired. Known for their durability and modular design, Hydrotherm boilers offer reliable and energy-efficient performance. Regular maintenance ensures long service life and optimal heating efficiency.
A magnetic stirrer hot plate is a common laboratory device used to heat and stir liquids simultaneously. It consists of a flat heating surface and a rotating magnetic field that spins a magnetic stir bar placed inside the liquid.
A laboratory freezer is a specialized unit used to store biological samples, chemicals, reagents, and vaccines at low temperatures, typically ranging from –20°C to –80°C. It ensures sample stability and prevents degradation. Laboratory freezers are essential in research, clinical, and pharmaceutical settings for long-term preservation and safety.
An oil distillation kit is a laboratory setup used to extract and purify essential oils or separate oil mixtures based on their boiling points through the process of distillation.
A rotary evaporator (or rotavap) is a laboratory device used to remove solvents from samples through evaporation under reduced pressure. It works by rotating a flask containing the solution, while gently heating it and applying a vacuum, allowing the solvent to evaporate at a lower temperature. It is widely used in chemistry, pharmaceuticals, and food research for concentration, purification, and solvent recovery.
A laboratory oven is used for drying, sterilizing, and heating samples at controlled temperatures, typically ranging from 50°C to 300°C. It operates using convection to ensure uniform heat distribution. Common applications include removing moisture, curing materials, and conducting thermal testing in biological, chemical, and industrial labs.
A fat analyzer is a laboratory instrument used to determine the fat content in food and feed samples. It typically operates using solvent extraction methods like Soxhlet or automated systems. The analyzer extracts fat from the sample, then measures and calculates the percentage of fat present. It’s essential in quality control, nutrition labeling, and food research.
