The dissolved oxygen in a water sample is generally estimated by modified Winkler method. The water sample is taken in a 300 ml BOD bottle and the dissolved oxygen is fixed by adding:

1.  1 ml of concentrated H2SO4 followed by addition of 1 ml of MnSO4 reagent and contents mixed thoroughly, thereafter waiting for 5-10 minutes, and then 1 ml of alkali-iodide azide reagent is added

2.  1 ml of alkali-iodide-azide reagent followed by addition of 1 ml of concentrated H2SO4 and then the contents mixed thoroughly, thereafter waiting for 5-10 minutes, 1 ml of MnSO4 reagent is added

3.  1 ml of MnSO4 followed by addition of 1 ml alkali-iodide-azide reagents and then the contents mixed thoroughly, thereafter waiting for 5-10 minutes and then 1 ml of concentrated H2SO4 is added.

4.  1 ml of concentrated H2SO4 followed by addition of 1 ml of alkali-iodide-azide reagent and then the contents mixed thoroughly, thereafter waiting for 5-10 minutes and then 1 ml of MnSO4 reagent is added
