What labor team does

labor team w ag is a Swiss medical diagnostic laboratory headquartered in Goldach, St. Gallen, founded in 2001 and operating with 251-500 employees. The company provides comprehensive laboratory analyses across twelve-plus clinical disciplines, including clinical chemistry, hematology, microbiology, molecular biology, pathology, medical genetics, immunology, histopathology, cytology, and specialized analytics. It serves a B2B customer base of doctors, medical practices, hospitals, and healthcare institutions across Switzerland, with 24/7 sample collection and transport logistics supported by multilingual operations in German, French, Italian, and English. The company is a FAMH member and holds Green & Sustainable Laboratory certification, with pricing for its core services determined by the Swiss federal Analysenliste (EDI) and Tarmed rates for ancillary medical services.

Its core technology stack centers on a single Goldach-based laboratory facility supported by an integrated digital ecosystem: the LabHub mobile application for result access, an electronic order portal (Auftragsportal) for test requisitions, an online result reporting portal, a webshop for laboratory supplies, and a ChatGPT-powered chatbot for customer service inquiries. The technology portfolio includes advanced proprietary and partner-developed diagnostic tests such as ColoAlert (colorectal cancer screening), Stockholm3 (prostate cancer detection), Ziwig Endotest (endometriosis), OsteoTest (bone health), and a fully automated microbiology department commissioned in April 2026.

labor team generates revenue through unit-priced laboratory analysis services billed to healthcare providers per test, following the regulated Swiss federal tariff schedule. Its go-to-market is a direct enterprise field-sales model with sample logistics built into the service offering. On September 9, 2025, Galenica AG (a Swiss healthcare company listed on SIX Swiss Exchange, ticker GALN) acquired Diagnostics Group GmbH including labor team, integrating it as part of the newly created Galenica Diagnostics business unit while labor team continues to operate under its own brand. The company also acquired Modern-Path on January 24, 2025, prior to the Galenica transaction.
