New COD Tests for Waste Water Analysis

Merck Millipore (Germany) introduces 2 new Spectroquant® COD test kits. When analysing waste water, ground or surface water, you may need something more than the well established measuring range of 4.0 – 40 mg/l. We developed a new kit that meets those unique needs covering the range from 5.0 – 80 mg/l. Broadening the measurement range means the new kit is compliant with the German DIN 38409 H44 regulations – an added benefit at audit time.

Merck Millipore also offers a new Spectroquant® test kit developed especially for measuring COD in highly polluted water, such as untreated waste water. Most commonly done as a first screening, analysis of these samples can be tricky. Not only do they contain a very high COD level, they also can contain a huge quantity of chloride. The new kit measures COD in the ultra high range from 5,000 – 90,000 mg/l and also tolerates as much as 50,000 mg/l chloride in your sample. This is totally unique in the market since most kits from other suppliers tolerate only 1,000-20,000 mg/l chloride.

The new Spectroquant® COD test kits join a complete range of products for water and waste water analysis. Take advantage of Merck Millipore’s experience in developing comprehensive, certified quality analysis processes.
