Molecular Scale

“I’m exploring new synthetic routes and need to understand the fundamental mechanisms.“

When pursuing new electrosynthetic processes it is essential to understand the elementary electron-transfer steps and the reaction pathways. Accurate, high-resolution electrochemical control and characterization provide the insight required to design and optimize reactions.​

SP-200

Premium single-channel potentiostat

SP-200

Research advantages: Detecting subtle electron-transfer events and short-lived intermediates requires exceptional sensitivity and speed.

Paired with EC-Lab® software and the ULC ultra-low current option, the SP-200 resolves currents down to the 100 fA range, letting you follow reaction intermediates and electron-transfer kinetics that standard instrumentation would miss. Add a rotating disk or ring-disk electrode (BluRev) for convection-controlled experiments that help separate diffusion and kinetic contributions to your mechanism.

M470

Scanning Electrochemical Workstations

M470

Research advantages: Local techniques such as Scanning Electrochemical Microscopy (SECM) let you visualize where electron transfer is actually occurring on your electrode, revealing active sites and reaction intermediates that bulk measurements simply average away.

The M470's SECM and SDC modes provide spatially resolved feedback on reactivity, helping you connect molecular-level mechanisms to macroscopic electrode behavior — all controlled through the same intuitive software platform used across your other measurements.

Electrode Scale

“I am investigating how the electrode, and the electrode-electrolyte interface affect electrosynthesis.”

When pursuing new electrosynthetic processes it is essential to understand the elementary electron-transfer steps and the reaction pathways. If an electrocatalyst is used its role must be understood.

SP-300

Premium potentiostat

SP-300

Research advantages: With EIS up to 11 MHz, low-noise stability, and full modularity, the SP-300 covers both molecular- and electrode-scale studies in a single instrument, so you're not switching platforms as your research evolves.

Native EIS QI™ data validation and OEM integration options let you link the SP-300 to complementary instruments (spectroscopy, microscopy, QCM), while add-on temperature control extends your electrode studies to realistic operating conditions and screens multiple electrode designs efficiently.

Lab Reaction Scale

“I need to demonstrate the feasibility of the electrosynthetic process.”

At the stage of bulk electrosynthesis it is important to scale up and prove not only the feasibility of the process, but also its selectivity. This is where rigorous validation becomes essential.

 

SP-150e

Essential potentiostat

SP-150e

Research advantages: Scaling from electrode-level studies to lab-scale reactions demands both continuity of technique and headroom for higher currents.

The SP-150e, boosted up to 800 A with FlexP, gives you that headroom alongside excellent chronoamperometric performance for tracking reaction progress over time. Because it runs on the same EC-Lab® software as your electrode-scale work, moving to lab-scale feasibility studies doesn't mean learning a new system — just adding the current range and integrated temperature control your reaction demands.

Reactor Scale

“I am ready to scale up my reaction to optimize my final process.”

Before moving to commercialization, you need to optimize the electrosynthesis, increasing the reaction productivity, and improving mass transport to the electrodes.

VMP-3e

Essential multi-channel potentiostat

VMP-3e

Research advantages: Optimizing productivity at reactor scale means running higher currents across multiple channels while keeping tight control over reaction conditions.

The VMP-3e offers up to 16 independent channels, each scalable to 800 A with FlexP boosters, so you can push toward production-relevant rates without losing measurement precision. Its modular design and integrated temperature control let you fine-tune conditions channel by channel, helping you identify the optimal balance of rate, selectivity, and energy efficiency before committing to full-scale reactor design.

FAQ.

Can I use BioLogic instruments for multimodal experiments?

Yes! BioLogic’s Premium and Essential potentiostats can be used to perform multimodal experiments. We have combined our potentiostats with a range of partner devices, including Quartz Crystal Balance (QCM), X-Ray Diffractometer (XRD), and Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM).

If you are interested in coupling BioLogic’s potentiostats with other devices the EC-Lab Developer Package is also available. This is a specialized version of BioLogic’s control and analysis software allowing integration with proprietary software.

For the optimal solution, we strongly recommend contacting our sales teams to discuss how we can support your current projects, they can provide personalized recommendations based on your application needs.

I’m interested in high throughput screening what do you offer?

BioLogic’s multichannel potentiostats can be used to perform high throughput screening experiments. Users can take advantage of their ability to setup multiple cells and tests for simultaneous experiments, learn more here.

Scanning Electrochemical Microscopy (SECM), and Scanning Droplet Cell (SDC), available on the M470, can also be used in high throughput screening. These techniques are used because of their ability to obtain local information and therefore measured individual samples of a library at each step of an experiment. Further information on high throughput screening can be found in our Learning Center article Introduction to High Throughput Screening.

For help in choosing the right solution for you, we recommend contacting your local BioLogic representative.

Are there different tip types available for the BluRev?

Yes! A range of Rotating Disc Electrode (RDE) and Rotating Ring Disc Electrode (RRDE) tips are available. These include Glassy Carbon (GC), Platinum (Pt), and Boron Doped Diamond (BDD). Users can also use customized materials when working with our disc replaceable tips.

For help in choosing the right solution for you, we recommend contacting your local BioLogic representative.

Does BioLogic offer further information on best practices?

BioLogic offers a wide range of resources offering tips, tricks, and best practices to get the most out of your instrument.  BioLogic’s extensive documentation includes Application Notes, Learning Center articles and a personal space with exclusive support resources after instrument registration. Webinars covering advanced techniques and research topics are also held regularly.
