What Bio-Logic does

BioLogic is a French manufacturer of high-precision electrochemical measurement instruments headquartered in Seyssinet-Pariset, France, with over 40 years of operating history and a privately-held, founder-owned governance structure. The company designs, builds, and sells a modular, platform-based product portfolio that includes potentiostats/galvanostats (including the Premium Potentiostat Board with embedded EIS up to 11 MHz), the BCS family of battery cyclers (BCS-1012 with 32 channels in 8U and BCS-975R up to 2 × 300 A), the M470 scanning electrochemical workstation, the BluPEM/BluPEM-EL integrated workstation for PEM fuel cell and electrolyzer research, and stopped-flow/quench-flow systems with spectrometers for rapid kinetics and life sciences. The product ecosystem is complemented by software suites (EC-Lab, BT-Lab with BT-Test and BT-Analysis modules, Scan-Lab) and a broad accessories and consumables catalog.

The company serves academic and industrial research organizations across six use-case verticals: battery R&D, corrosion research, fuel cell and electrolyzer testing, fundamental electrochemistry, life sciences/rapid kinetics, and energy conversion/photosynthesis. BioLogic generates revenue through quote-based hardware sales (multi-year contracts, Essential and Premium product tiers), software subscriptions and licenses, accessories and consumables, and technical support and service. Distribution is hybrid: direct sales through regional representatives on every continent, paired with an authorized distributor network spanning 36+ countries, and a self-serve portal (my.biologic.net) for quotes, instrument registration, and support documentation. Customer evidence includes long-tenured enterprise accounts such as Ugitech (using a VMP potentiostat daily since 1998) and Ligna Energy (scaling from potentiostats to multi-channel BCS cyclers in supercapacitor development), underscoring a reputation for instrument longevity, modular scalability, and technical service.
