ELECTROCHEMISTRY INSTRUMENTS2/3

SAS (founded in 1983) is located near Grenoble in the French Alps. We design and manufacture high performance, research laboratory instruments and software for electrochemistry, battery testing, fuel cell and material testing.

Bio-Logic’s product range is based on a modular and flexible design. We offer electrochemical workstations (EC-Lab division) and battery test equipments (BT-Lab division) from single channel up to 128-channel systems, integrating EIS capability and high current boosters.

MT-Lab division offers a complete solution for material characterization. It provides a complete system including impedance analyzer, furnace, sample holders and software for the control of the instruments and for data acquisition.

In 2012, Bio-Logic SAS extended its choice of instruments to the scanning electrochemical workstations. The Scan-Lab division is dedicated to high resolution electrochemical mapping tools. These products are developed, designed and manufactured by Uniscan Instruments Ltd., a company based in Macclesfield, UK. For more than 20 years, Uniscan Instruments Ltd. have been at the cutting edge of scanning probe electrochemistry technology.
