BOD testing involves far more than taking an initial and final dissolved oxygen reading. Sample pretreatment. Dilution water. Seeding. Nitrification inhibition. Incubation. DO measurement. Each step introduces decisions and opportunities for variability - and many of those steps still require significant analyst time. Join experts from SEAL Analytical and Environmental Express including David Smith, Dave Farrow, Joey Redovich, and Sarah McFaul for a practical look at the complete BOD testing workflow, primarily following Standard Methods 5210 B. We'll discuss: ✔️ Sample preparation and pretreatment ✔️ Dilution water, seeding and dilution selection ✔️ BOD vs. cBOD and nitrification interference ✔️ Common challenges including difficult or toxic samples ✔️ Incubation and dissolved oxygen measurement ✔️ Where consumables and automation can improve consistency and reduce hands-on work We'll also look at solutions ranging from Environmental Express BOD consumables to SEAL MiniLab BOD robotics and where they fit into the day-to-day workflow of an environmental laboratory. Whether you're performing BOD every day or looking for ways to improve an existing process, we hope you'll join us!

When it comes to wastewater nutrient testing, confidence in your instrumentation matters just as much as speed. In our latest customer case study, Felicia Bracy, Program & Operations Manager for the City of Richmond, Virginia's water quality laboratory, shares how her team modernized nutrient testing while staying focused on QC performance and audit readiness. By transitioning to discrete analysis and scaling from an AQ2 to dual AQ400 discrete analyzers, the lab gained the flexibility to manage busy days, expand methods like TKN, and stand behind their results - backed by SEAL's support team that stayed with them through troubleshooting and certification steps. 👇 Read the full City of Richmond case study:

That's why we're excited to introduce a new addition to our consumables line-up: PFAS-safe vials and liners - designed specifically for laboratories working at ultra-trace levels. These vials eliminate two of the most common contamination risks in PFAS consumables: ❌ Glass ❌ PTFE Instead, they provide clean, reliable alternatives in both the vials and closures to help labs maintain confidence in results - whether you’re working in drinking water, wastewater, or environmental monitoring. Just as important: accessibility. We’re offering these at industry-leading pricing to make PFAS-safe workflows more practical for labs running high sample volumes.
