COD reagent vial refers to a specific type of vial used in chemical analysis for measuring the chemical oxygen demand (COD) of a water sample. COD is a measure of the amount of oxygen required to chemically oxidize the organic and inorganic compounds present in a water sample.
The COD reagent vial contains the necessary chemicals and reagents to facilitate the oxidation reaction. It typically includes a mixture of strong oxidizing agents, such as potassium dichromate or potassium permanganate, along with other chemicals that help initiate and accelerate the oxidation process.
