What dD Biolab does

dD Biolab (legal name DD BIOLAB S.L., registered in the Barcelona Trade Register under B66238197) is a B2B distributor of laboratory consumables, scientific equipment and reagents serving the Iberian market (Spain and Portugal). It is wholly owned by the French parent Dominique Dutscher SAS and operates as the Iberian arm of the pan-European Dutscher Group, alongside sister entities Teknovas in Derio/Bizkaia and Cultek in Madrid. The company was founded in 2014 and is headquartered at the Parc Científic de Barcelona. Its catalogue spans more than 26,000 stocked SKUs covering plasticware, pipetting supplies, bioreactives, chemistry products, cell culture and molecular biology consumables, plus capital equipment such as centrifuges, incubators, freezers, spectrophotometers and micropipettes from third-party brands including Eppendorf, Implen, Memmert, PHCBi, A&D Instruments and SHIELD Scientific. DDBiolab also markets its own ClearLine® private-label consumables and curates value (Smart CHOICE), sustainability (GoGreen) and cleanroom product lines, supported by online selection guides and chemical compatibility charts.

The underlying platform is a B2B e-commerce storefront at ddbiolab.com, hosted on SCALEWAY cloud infrastructure, offering express ordering, quote requests, order tracking, in-stock visibility within 48 hours, e-catalogues, sample and certificate requests, and an account-based login area. Sales is hybrid: a team of specialized technical sales engineers provides field-based advisory and account management for institutional customers, while the website handles long-tail transactional demand. The company is ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001:2015 certified, holds a registered capital of €70,589, and is led by CEO Josep Puig.

DDBiolab monetizes primarily through one-time consumables and equipment sales transacted on the e-commerce platform or via sales-engineer-led quotes, with a secondary revenue stream from financial leasing on equipment purchases above €500 excl. VAT, underwritten by the Dutscher Group for terms of 1–5 years. Target customers are vertical-segmented into Research & Academia, Life Sciences & Biotechnology, Healthcare & Clinical, and Industrial Laboratories — all served through a Spain- and Portugal-focused distribution footprint backed by the group's 8,000+ m2 logistics centre and 50+ years of scientific distribution heritage.
