New criterion for incubation time:
SLIDE 34
SLIDE 35
New criterion for incubation time: 5 Days ± 6 Hours (Section 5, Part i)
SLIDE 36
New requirement for the Glucose-Glutamic Acid Check (GGA)
SLIDE 37 Set up THREE GGA
Measured BOD of the three samples must be 198 ± 30.5 mg/L (Section 6, Part b)
SLIDE 38
New instructions for determining the detection limit for a sample.
SLIDE 39
For samples with NO SEED and NO DILUTION: The detection limit equals the detection limit of the DO measurement method. (i.e., around 0.1 mg/L) (Section 8, Part b)
SLIDE 40
For samples with NO SEED but which ARE DILUTED: The detection limit equals 2 mg/L multiplied by the dilution factor. (Section 8, Part b)
SLIDE 41
For samples which are SEEDED and DILUTED: The detection limit equals 2 mg/L minus the seed correction, multiplied by the dilution factor. (Section 8, Part b)
SLIDE 42 For samples which are SEEDED and DILUTED, the actual text does not say to multiply by the dilution
sense would dictate
SLIDE 43
For samples which are SEEDED but NOT DILUTED: The detection limit is 0 mg/L. (Section 8, Part b)

How do you prepare a Zero Oxygen Sample? SM gives a vague recipe:
SLIDE 50
“Add excess sodium sulfite, Na2SO3, and a trace of cobalt chloride, CoCl2, to bring DO to zero.”
(SM 4500-O G-2001, Section 3, Part a)
SLIDE 51 20 g sodium sulfite, Na2SO3 10 mg cobalt chloride, CoCl2
(a few crystals)
1 L water
Dissolve with stir bar and stir
SLIDE 52 1 g sodium sulfite, Na2SO3 10 mg cobalt chloride, CoCl2
(a few crystals)
1 L water
Dissolve with stir bar and stir
maybe longer.
SLIDE 53 Carefully pour the standard into a BOD bottle up to the
reagents and titrate.
SLIDE 54
Carefully pour a portion of the standard into a beaker to attain a depth of 2 to 3 inches. Submerge the DO probe so that the tip is near the bottom of the beaker. Swirl gently and read.
SLIDE 55 One manual for a Thermo membrane electrode meter says that the probe must be inserted in the zero standard for at least 5
- minutes. Another says 2.5
minutes.

There are some surprises in store for you when you explore the new versions of the Standard Methods methods.
