BioLogic

What BioLogic does

BioLogic is a French designer and manufacturer of high-performance laboratory research instruments, headquartered in Seyssinet-Pariset, France, and founded in 1983. The company operates from a single main site and serves 101-250 employees focused exclusively on electrochemical measurement and rapid kinetics spectroscopy. Its core product platforms include potentiostats/galvanostats (Essential and Premium ranges), modular battery cyclers, PEM fuel cell and electrolyzer test stations (BluPEM/BluPEM-EL), scanning probe workstations (M470), frequency response analyzers, and a spectroscopy portfolio spanning MOS circular dichroism spectrometers, MOS-200/MOS-DAD absorbance instruments, stopped-flow systems (SFM-2000/3000/4000, µSFM), cryogenic and freeze-quench accessories, an EKKO CD microplate reader, and JTS pump-probe instruments for photosynthesis research. Underlying differentiators include embedded EIS up to 11 MHz, independent stepping motor technology achieving 200µs dead times, and patented three-stage wavelength selection.

The company monetizes through four streams: hardware sales of complete instrumentation systems and modular add-ons, recurring revenue from proprietary software suites (EC-Lab, BT-Lab Suite, Bio-Kine), accessories and consumables (electrode rotators, cells, holders, connection accessories), and professional services covering training, applications consulting, and after-sales support. Pricing is opaque and quote-based, sold through a direct enterprise field motion and a global distributor network spanning 36+ countries. BioLogic serves academic and industrial customers across five primary vertical segments: battery R&D, corrosion research, fuel cell and electrolyzer development, fundamental electrochemistry, and life sciences and spectroscopy, with recent product cadence in 2025 indicating explicit focus on next-generation batteries and the hydrogen energy value chain.

BioLogic markets through a content-driven engine including a Learning Center, quarterly BluBox newsletter, application notes, white papers, and brochures; direct sales is conducted via a request-a-quote system at my.biologic.net alongside the regional distributor network. Customer evidence signals durable installed-base economics, with named enterprise accounts including Ligna Energy (supercapacitor development) and Ugitech (stainless steel metallurgy, customer since 1998) operating BioLogic potentiostats for multi-decade, high-utilization research programs. The company has no disclosed funding rounds, no parent company, and no public listing.
