DiaPharma

What DiaPharma does

DiaPharma Group, Inc. is a privately held specialty distributor of medical and laboratory diagnostic products headquartered in West Chester, Ohio. Founded on January 1, 1997 from Pharmacia Hepar, Inc., the company has operated continuously for over 25 years, distributing assay kits, bioreagents, chromogenic substrates, antibodies, and laboratory instruments exclusively in the United States and Canada. Its product portfolio spans seven core categories — hemostasis (365+ products), instruments, hematology, liver disease, fibrosis, NETosis research, and additional biomarkers — and is sourced from more than 18 partner manufacturers including Chromogenix, Technoclone, VLVbio/Peviva, Volition, Haematex, Zacros, QuickZyme, Rossix, Stasys, Teco Medical, Pplus, AroCell, BioTek, CMIC, Inter-Array, IQ Products, ProAxsis, and ImmunoDiagnostics. DiaPharma holds exclusive US and Canadian distribution rights for Chromogenix hemostasis and fibrinolysis products and additionally markets a proprietary DPG label (including the Fiix Factor VIII inhibitor testing line, DOAC-Stop anticoagulant neutralization products, INHIBIREF reference products, and Haematex-derived specialty reagents).

The business operates a hybrid go-to-market combining a three-territory direct field sales force (East, Midwest, West — covering all 50 US states and 11 Canadian provinces) with inside sales via phone, email, fax, and a website-based Quote Cart system. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; first-time customers apply for NET30 credit terms or pay by credit card with a 3% processing fee. Distribution focuses on clinical and research laboratories in hemostasis/coagulation, liver disease research (MASH, ALD, DILI), oncology drug development (apoptosis detection), hematology research (sickle cell and fetomaternal hemorrhage), and additional biomarker fields such as fibrosis, NETosis, kidney injury, and diabetes. The company complements distribution with scientific content marketing — blog articles, webinars (often co-hosted with partner manufacturers such as Technoclone), and active participation in industry conferences including ISTH, ISLH, ASH, and AASLD — positioning expertise in hemostasis and coagulation as the primary differentiator from broader-line laboratory distributors.

Revenue mechanics are fundamentally those of a multi-brand specialty medical distributor: DiaPharma purchases finished goods, reagents, and instruments from partner manufacturers and resells them to North American clinical and research laboratories, capturing distribution margins on catalog products plus hardware margin on instruments such as the Ceveron s100, T-TAS01, and Atlas PST. Three US/Canada territory managers, supported by a Scientific Director, PhD-level Scientific Product Managers, and a Senior Scientific Liaison, provide application support that anchors the value proposition. As a privately held firm with no disclosed funding rounds, parent company, or subsidiaries, DiaPharma is owned and operated independently, with leadership under President and CEO Madeleine Burmester alongside CSO Michael Hambleton, PhD, CFO Tom Shannon, and Scientific Director Jennifer Kiblinger.
