Lovibond MD 100 COD Digital Meter

Chemical Oxygen Demand Tube Test System

The Lovibond MD 100 COD Meter is a dedicated, single-parameter instrument designed solely for accurate Chemical Oxygen Demand analysis using Lovibond VARIO COD tube reagents. It delivers fast, reproducible COD test results for compliance reporting, pretreatment monitoring, and wastewater process optimization — without the added cost or complexity of multi-parameter colorimeters.

Key Features

• Dedicated COD Instrument
  Designed specifically for COD tube digestion testing — no unused menus or multi-parameter distractions.

• EPA-Reportable COD Analysis
  Works with Lovibond VARIO COD reagents for low, medium, and high ranges. Mercury-free reagent options are available.

• Rugged, Waterproof IP68 Housing
  Survives field environments and accidental immersion up to 1 hour at 0.1 m. The unit floats if dropped in water.

• Reliable Optical System
  LED and interference filter design ensures stable, accurate, and repeatable readings.

• One-Time Zero Function
  Zero a single blank and run all tests from that sample without re-zeroing.

• Automatic Data Storage
  Stores the last 16 results with time and date stamp. Download records using the optional IRiM interface.

• User Calibration Mode
  Supports one-point calibration and reading display in ABS or %T.

• Factory-Loaded Curve Library
  Up to 14 COD calibration curves installed and ready to use.

• Ergonomic Design
  Comfortable to hold in the field and stable on benchtops with integrated rubber foot pads.

• Two-Year Warranty
  Confidence backed by Lovibond’s industry-proven reliability.

Instrument Specifications

Comparison to Other COD Test Systems

Many facilities evaluating COD testing equipment also consider models from Hach, Thermo Scientific, LaMotte, Hanna, Chemetrics, and other multi-parameter platforms. The MD 100 offers a simpler, more focused approach for operators who only need COD.

MD 100 vs Hach DR Series

Hach DR instruments are multi-parameter colorimeters and spectrophotometers. The MD 100 is dedicated to COD only, making it easier to operate, quicker to train, and typically more cost-effective. It also provides IP68 waterproof protection and floating capability, which most DR instruments do not.

MD 100 vs Thermo Orion COD Platforms

Thermo units offer broader photometry menus but often cost more and involve additional configuration steps. The MD 100 boots directly into COD testing, with built-in test curves and one-time zeroing for fast workflow.

MD 100 vs LaMotte COD Testers

LaMotte systems are popular for classrooms and basic lab testing. The MD 100 is better suited to industrial and municipal wastewater operations requiring reporting alignment, data logging, calibration, and tube-based digestion ranges.

MD 100 vs Chemetrics Ampule-Style COD Kits

Ampule-based COD kits are simple for screening but lack official EPA alignment, timestamped result storage, calibration capability, and digital reporting functions. Facilities that need traceable, defensible COD records often prefer the MD 100.

MD 100 vs Multi-Parameter Colorimeters

Multi-parameter platforms add cost and complexity when COD is the only required analysis. By focusing on COD alone, the MD 100 provides:

• Lower overall acquisition cost

• Faster testing workflow

• Easier operator training

• Reduced maintenance

• A more rugged field-ready housing

Applications

• Municipal wastewater treatment

• Industrial pretreatment monitoring

• Food and beverage processing

• Stormwater and runoff analysis

• Process optimization and load balancing

• Compliance and discharge reporting

• Environmental lab work

• University research and instruction

Why Facilities Choose the MD 100

• Dedicated, COD-only platform

• EPA-recognized reagent options

• Durable IP68 waterproof housing

• One-time zeroing for fast batch testing

• Built-in calibration curves

• Internal result storage with timestamps

• Mercury-free reagent availability

• Compact size for field or lab use

• Lower cost of ownership compared to most multi-parameter instruments
