BioLogic (Bio-Logic Science Instruments SAS) is a French electrochemical instrumentation specialist founded in Grenoble in 1983, having supplied battery cyclers and potentiostats for more than 40 years.
1. Company Overview
- Company name: Bio-Logic Science Instruments SAS (BioLogic)
- Founded: December 1983, by co-founders Yves Dupont (a CNRS researcher) and Philippe Cimadomo
- Headquarters: Seyssinet-Pariset, France (near Grenoble)
- CEO: François Goy
- Scale: 230 employees worldwide (including 180 in the Grenoble, France area), 6–7 overseas subsidiaries
2. History and Personnel
Founded in 1983 by Yves Dupont, then a researcher at CNRS (the French National Centre for Scientific Research), to commercialize instrumentation for biochemistry, kinetics, and electrophysiology. In response to the digital revolution of the early 1990s the company shifted focus to electrochemistry and developed MacPile, the world’s first computer-connected multichannel potentiostat/galvanostat. Following a strategic pivot toward energy-storage applications in 2007, the company successively established overseas subsidiaries: the United States (2007), India (2010), the United Kingdom (2012), Spain (2015), Singapore (2018), Germany (2019), and Italy (2025).
The company has sustained average annual growth of 15% since 2000, and now employs 230 people worldwide (including 180 in the Grenoble, France area). It holds a number of world-first records, including the world’s first computer-connected multichannel potentiostat and a stopped-flow device based on independent stepping-motor technology.
3. Core Technology and Key Equipment
The company’s core products are potentiostats, galvanostats, battery cyclers, and impedance analyzers, and in 2014 it launched the BCS-800 series for high-throughput energy applications.
- BCS-900 series — high-precision modular battery cyclers with built-in EIS
- MPG-200 series — precision battery cyclers for research
- BCS-1012 — essential cycler for high-throughput aging studies (32 channels)
- BluePEM — workstation platform for fuel cells and electrolyzers
- Potentiostats and impedance analyzers — electrode material and electrolyte characterization
4. Production Infrastructure and Quality Assurance
The company has expanded its R&D capacity through building expansions at its headquarters near Grenoble, and collaborates with academic and industrial institutions in more than 36 countries.
5. Delivery Track Record and Partnerships
Publicly disclosed examples include technology development collaborations with the Collège de France and CNRS. Individual customer names among battery manufacturers are (undisclosed).
6. Financial Status and Roadmap
A third-party company information service estimates annual revenue of approximately USD 7.5 million and a headcount of 208 employees (estimate, may differ from the company’s official disclosures).
The company is expanding its applications into hydrogen and electrochemical energy-conversion technologies (fuel cells and electrolyzers), and continues to launch new products such as the BCS-975R for high-power applications and the BCS-1012 for high-throughput screening.
