WINKLER BOTTLE

What is a Winkler bottle?

The Winkler flask, also known as a Winkler bottle, is a specialised container used in water quality analysis, specifically to measure dissolved oxygen. The Winkler bottle plays a crucial role in the Winkler method, a chemical procedure to determine the amount of oxygen present in a water sample. The shape of the bottle, made of transparent glass, is designed to prevent the ingress of air during the analysis process, ensuring accurate results.

How is the Winkler bottle used?

The use of the Winkler bottle is essential to perform the Winkler method, which involves the addition of chemical reagents to the water sample inside the bottle to cause a reaction to quantify dissolved oxygen. This analysis is essential in environmental and water quality studies, as dissolved oxygen is a key indicator of the health of aquatic ecosystems.

Benefits of the Winkler flask

Using a high quality Winkler flask is vital for reliable dissolved oxygen analysis results. Its design ensures the accuracy of the method, allowing researchers and technicians to meet the necessary standards for water quality assessment.
