Xylem OxiTop-IDS A6: a complete system for accurate respirometric analyses
The OxiTop-IDS A6 from Xylem is a measurement solution dedicated to respirometric applications in aerobic conditions. Designed to offer high accuracy and ease of use, this device is particularly suitable for wastewater treatment laboratories, environmental research institutes and industrial facilities requiring rigorous monitoring of biological processes.
The system measures biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) in accordance with DIN EN 1899-2 and ASTM 5210 D standards, with the option of taking up to 12 samples in parallel. Thanks to its special BOD mode, it can process highly diluted or concentrated samples, covering a measuring range of up to 400,000 mg/L. This flexibility is essential for meeting the varied requirements of modern environmental analysis.
The OxiTop-IDS A6 integrates seamlessly into Xylem's IDS ecosystem, enabling wireless communication via Bluetooth® with the Multi 3620 IDS or Multi 3630 IDS multiparameter instruments. This connectivity provides easy access to measurement parameters, real-time curve visualisation and data export to acquisition software, ensuring complete traceability.
The device is equipped with a modern graphic display and a multi-coloured LED indicator, ensuring quick reading of the system status: blue for measurement in progress, green for measurement complete and red for battery replacement or pressure exceeded. These visual elements facilitate monitoring and reduce the risk of errors during analysis.
The system also includes an IS 6-Var inductive stirring platform, designed to ensure homogeneous mixing of samples, and six PF45/1000 sample bottles with a capacity of 1,000 ml. It is compatible with various accessories such as NHP 600 CO2 absorbers, optimising performance and adaptability to various applications.
With extended autonomy and a measuring range from 0.5 hours to 180 days, the OxiTop-IDS A6 is an indispensable tool for all studies requiring precise analysis of biodegradation processes and microbiological activity.
