Agitated water that may require COD measurement
Published: 26 July 2023

As a required consumable for testing, chemical oxygen demand reagents are the primary ongoing expense for in-house analysis. Switching your COD reagent supplier is one way to save ongoing costs and improve access to reagents as and when needed. Read on to learn more: 

What are COD reagents?

COD reagents are vials that are combined with samples of wastewater to measure chemical oxygen demand. Reagents, a heater block and a photometer or spectrophotometer, such as the Hanna Iris, are all requirements for testing COD in-house. Hanna reagents follow the dichromate method and include ISO compliant and mercury-free solutions to suit your requirements.

Why switch COD reagent suppliers?

If you are bringing COD testing in-house or you use COD reagents already, it’s possible to switch your supplier to better suit your business requirements. Hanna’s affordable, ISO-compliant COD reagents are compatible with meters from other brands, providing a readily-available solution for testing. 

Our reagents are all manufactured in an ISO 9001 European facility and stocked in the UK, for fast delivery whether you require a single box or a bulk order.

How to save money on COD reagents

Here are a few ideas to consider to save money on COD reagents:

  • Buy reagents in bulk: Purchasing reagents in bulk is an ideal way to ensure you have the stock you need without paying the full price for one box at a time. Speak to our team at Hanna to discuss discounts for bulk orders.
  • Use compatible brands: If you already have instrumentation in-house, Hanna COD reagents are compatible with other COD meter brands, including Hach, Lovibond and Palintest.
  • Opt for reliability: A reliable and consistent brand can save you money in multiple ways, including reducing the need to re-test and ensuring blanks are usable for the whole lot of reagents.
  • Choose the most cost-effective solution: Hanna reagents are cost-effective for COD testing, with free delivery for orders over £50 to further save you money on day-to-day parameter measurement.
