An ordinary incubator is generally based on ambient temperature for growth of bacteria. It can have some baic heating arrangements. It fails in cold weather. If the room where it is stationed has right ambiant temperature, it can still work. BOD Incubator has full control over the temperature as it is provided with both heating and cooling arrangements and provides +/- 0.5 Degree C variation over the set temperature. It does not provide control over relative humidity. The Environmental chamber provides control over Temperature and relative humidity.

∙ 15y agoA BOD incubator is an incubator designed to maintain 20°C necessary to perform a test called Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD). It involves incubating samples saturated with oxygen at 20°C for (usually) five days. Such an incubator has a compressor to depress the temperature below ambient and a heater to bring it back up to 20°C. These work against each other and produce very precise temperature control, often as close as +/-0.1°C. The term "incubator" is a general term which includes BOD incubators and other incubators designed to maintain other temperatures. The term used unqualified usually refers to an incubator designed to maintain temperatures of 5°C or more above ambient to as high as 100°C. Incubators designed to maintain temperatures below ambient to as low as about 10°C are generally called low-temperature incubators. Devices that maintain colder temperatures are called refrigerators or freezers.

What is the working principle of BOD shaker incubator?
A BOD shaker incubator is designed to maintain a temperature of 20 degrees C. The BOD incubator has a compressor that works as a heater and a cooler maintaining the temperature at a precise 20 degrees.
Is that BOD Incubator and Bacteriological Incubator are same?
no they are not same because they varies in temperature
What is the basic difference between BOD incubater and Bacteriological incubater?
I want the basic difference of BOD incubater and Bacteriological incubater? We are used BOD incubater as a bacteriological incubater?
What is the difference between a still air and forced air incubator?

What is the difference between egg incubator and hatcher?
An egg hatcher is another name for an egg incubator. They are both structures that keep eggs warm in place of the mother, so the eggs will hatch.
What are the relationship between cod chemical oxygen demand and bod5 biological oxygen demand what does the ratio of bod cod or cod bod means?
BOD is inversely proportional to COD
What is BOD incubator?
B.O.D. Incubator is available in two model Standard and GMP model. Its construction is in Double walled, where gap between the two walls filled with high quality called Polyurethanes Foam (PUF). The special range of B.O.D. Incubator are designed & fabricated to match various I.S. standards and to meet requirement of different bio chemical oxygen demand test equipment in various fields like medical, vaccines, agricultural, industrial, research laboratories, culture of bacteria, microorganism, seed germination

What is the difference between BOD and COD?
1. COD or Chemical Oxygen Demand is the total measurement of all chemicals in the water that can be oxidized BOD- Biochemical Oxygen Demand is supposed to measure the amount of food (or organic carbons) that bacteria can oxidize. 2. COD is usually measured and the test is simple and easy to perform with the right equipment and can be done in 2 hours. BOD usually takes 5 days 3. Permissible limit of COD =250 to 500 ppm Permissible limit for BOD = 30 mg/L
What are the differences between seeded and unseeded BOD?
When diluted water is added in surface wastewater to take immediate BOD is called unseeded and after 5 days of period wastewater received saturated oxygen from diluted water is called now seeded BOD.

What is the difference between a bird and reptile incubator?
From what I have been able to find online, bird incubators are hotter than reptile incubators and the egg turning feature of the bird incubators can kill reptiles.
