Acouns Laboratory

What Acouns Laboratory does

Acouns Laboratory and Diagnostics Centre is a molecular diagnostic laboratory headquartered at Km 12, Lekki–Epe Expressway, Ajah, Lagos, Nigeria, operating from a single physical site and serving the Lekki/Ajah corridor. Founded in 2020 and operating with 11–50 employees, the laboratory runs a broad test menu spanning clinical chemistry, hematology, microbiology, hormonal assays, toxicology, serology, histopathology, immunology, molecular diagnostics, ultrasound, and ECG, with COVID-19 PCR, cancer genomics, HIV/Hepatitis detection, and in-house DNA paternity testing as featured services. The catalog is productized into screening packages such as Comprehensive Health Check, Fertility, Pre-Employment, Domestic Staff, Food Handlers, Chemical Handlers, Pre-Marital, and Liver/Kidney Function tests.\n\nThe underlying technology is conventional clinical-laboratory instrumentation rather than proprietary AI or software platforms: PCR-based nucleic acid analysis, culture-based microbiology, automated chemistry and hematology analyzers, histopathology microscopy, and standard imaging modalities (ultrasound, ECG). The differentiator is breadth and the in-house paternity test rather than a novel technology stack, supported by stated laboratory certification, accreditation, and ongoing proficiency testing.\n\nAcouns runs a fee-for-service revenue model, charging per test with no publicly disclosed pricing; quotations are routed through WhatsApp. The go-to-market is hybrid: direct-to-consumer via walk-ins, referrals, and WhatsApp booking on the demand side, and channel partnerships with HMOs, schools, businesses, other laboratories, and hospitals for occupational health screening, pre-employment testing, and diagnostic referrals on the supply side. Brand building is concentrated on the company website, a content blog, and active social profiles on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn. The company is privately held with no disclosed funding rounds, parent company, or institutional investors.
