Autoclave
Indeecon autoclaves are precision steam sterilisation systems designed for microbiology laboratories, pharmaceutical manufacturing, hospitals, research institutions, and biotech facilities.
Industrial GradeISO 9001 Certified
BOD Incubator
Indeecon BOD incubators are precision environmental chambers designed to maintain constant 20°C ± 1°C conditions required for Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) testing. BOD measurement is a critical parameter in water quality assessment, environmental monitoring, and wastewater treatment compliance. Indeecon BOD incubators are specified for municipal treatment plants, industrial effluent laboratories, environmental agencies, and NABL-accredited testing facilities. With forced air circulation, microprocessor control, UV sterilisation, and glass shelving, our incubators ensure accurate, repeatable BOD results in compliance with IS 3025, APHA, and ISO standards.

Background
What is a BOD Incubator?
A BOD incubator is a specialised environmental chamber that maintains precise temperature and dark conditions for the standardised 5-day Biochemical Oxygen Demand test. BOD measurement quantifies the amount of organic matter in water that can be decomposed by microorganisms, expressed in milligrams per litre (mg/L). The 20°C temperature is critical to the test procedure; deviation compromises result accuracy and regulatory compliance. Indeecon BOD incubators use refrigeration to maintain exactly 20°C ± 1°C regardless of ambient conditions, ensuring test validity across seasons and climates. Our units provide complete darkness to prevent photosynthesis interference, allowing microbes to consume dissolved oxygen accurately. BOD incubators are essential equipment for environmental monitoring, wastewater treatment plant verification, and regulatory compliance reporting.

What Makes Our Temperature and Humidity Chamber Stand Out
- Precision Temperature Control: 20°C ± 1°C maintained regardless of ambient conditions
- Refrigeration System: Hermetically sealed, low-noise compressor with R134a refrigerant
- Dark Incubation Design: Dual-door system (solid outer + optional transparent inner) prevents light interference
- Forced-Air Circulation: Balanced blower fans ensure uniform temperature distribution across all shelves
- Microprocessor PID Controller: Digital display with high/low temperature alarms and power-failure detection
- UV-C Germicidal Lamp: Optional integrated sterilisation to maintain sample integrity
- Glass Shelving: Removable and adjustable tempered glass shelves for flexible load arrangement
- Interior Lighting: LED illumination for sample visibility without opening the chamber
- Compact Footprint: Space-efficient design suitable for crowded laboratory environments
- NABL/IQ/OQ/PQ Documentation: Pre-qualified units with validation support for accredited labs
- Dark Incubation Mastery: Dual-door design (solid outer + transparent inner option) prevents photosynthesis interference while allowing operators to inspect samples without opening the chamber, ensuring BOD₅ test integrity.
- ±0.5°C Temperature Stability: Microprocessor-based PID control with refrigeration maintains precise 20°C ± 1°C across 24-hour BOD incubation cycles, meeting IS 3025 and APHA standard requirements.
- NABL-Ready Validation: Pre-configured chambers with 9-point temperature mapping, automatic IQ/OQ/PQ documentation, and power-failure alarm support ensures immediate NABL accreditation for water testing facilities.
