BOD Reagents
Question/Answer
Once the polyseed is added to nutrient water how long does it last
The manufacturer recommends holding the seed suspension for a total of 6 hours from rehydration.
How much volume does each capsule make?
The instructions state to use 500 mL of dilution water to rehydrate each capsule. However, this volume can be adjusted according to individual laboratory procedures to compensate for the source water, desired strength of seed or other factors.
Can disposable BOD bottles be used more than once?
We do not recommend reuse of the bottles. The coating on the inside of the bottle is what prevents the seepage of oxygen through the plastic. This coating can become compromised in the cleaning process.
What is the shelf life of the Polyseed capsules?
The shelf life of our Polyseed capsules is 2 years from the date of manufacture.
