- BPC Instruments AB is a Sweden-based analytical technology company that develops, manufactures, and commercializes automated laboratory instrumentation and measurement systems for biotechnology, renewable energy, and environmental testing applications. Founded in 2005 as a spin-out from Lund University and headquartered in Lund, Sweden, the company specializes in precision analytical devices engineered for low gas flow and gas volume monitoring in anaerobic and aerobic biological degradation processes. BPC Instruments serves academic and industrial research institutions, environmental testing laboratories, biogas and biomethane producers, wastewater treatment facilities, animal nutrition developers, and bioplastics manufacturers across Europe, North America, the Asia-Pacific region, Latin America, and the Middle East through direct sales and an extensive global distributor network.
The company's core product and service portfolio includes automated analytical instruments and integrated software solutions, comprising the Automated Methane Potential Test System (AMPTS II and AMPTS III) for biochemical methane potential assays and anaerobic biodegradability evaluations; the Gas Endeavour platform for batch and continuous gas volume and gas flow measurement in aerobic and anaerobic respiration and fermentation processes; BPC Blue, a dedicated analytical instrument designed to evaluate the biodegradability and compostability of plastics, polymers, and packaging materials across aquatic, soil, and compost environments; BPC Core, a compact modular gas flow measurement instrument; laboratory-scale continuous stirred-tank bioreactor systems (BPC BioReactor/CSTR); auxiliary gas flow meters; and BPC Connect, a cloud-enabled monitoring and laboratory data acquisition platform. Additionally, the company offers laboratory consumables, replacement components, preventive maintenance agreements, calibration services, technical consulting, and training programs.
In recent developments, BPC Instruments has diversified its core offerings beyond traditional biogas and bioenergy analytics by accelerating the commercialization of its BPC Blue platform to meet expanding regulatory demand for biodegradability certification of sustainable packaging and bioplastics. The company has also introduced its upgraded AMPTS III instrument series, featuring enhanced hardware accuracy and modern software integration. To strengthen its global market penetration, BPC Instruments has expanded its direct commercial operations in North America through its subsidiary, BPC Instruments Inc., fortified operational and customer support capabilities in Asia via its Chinese subsidiary, and established new distribution partnerships across select European and Asian regional markets.
