BOD Analysis with the YSI ProOBOD Probe & MultiLab Pro IDS: Setup, Calibration & Measurement

In this video, we walk through Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD) analysis — a cornerstone test for environmental water testing and wastewater treatment monitoring. We cover what BOD measures, why the 5-day standard matters, and how to get up and running with the YSI ProOBOD probe on the MultiLab Pro IDS. You'll learn how to connect and configure both optical and polarographic BOD probes, update sensor cap coefficients, perform a calibration, take and store dissolved oxygen readings, run on-board OUR/SOUR tests, and export your data for documentation and sharing. By the end, you'll be ready to set up, calibrate, and measure with confidence.
