Laboratorio de Medicina

What Laboratorio de Medicina does

Laboratorio de Medicina (operating as Labmedicina) is a privately held Argentine clinical laboratory headquartered in Tandil with operational footprint across Buenos Aires (CABA) and Greater Buenos Aires (GBA). The company runs six or more patient-facing collection branches across neighborhoods including Almagro, Caballito, Palermo, Paternal, Nuñez, and Devoto, supplemented by a home extraction service. Beyond direct-to-consumer testing, Labmedicina functions as a reference laboratory for more than 500 laboratories nationwide, dialysis centers, and health insurance plans (obras sociales and prepagas), handling high-complexity diagnostics that referring laboratories cannot perform in-house.

The service portfolio spans routine chemistry and hematology panels, urinalysis, COVID-19 PCR/antigen/antibody testing, prenatal sex determination (Sexado Fetal) from maternal blood at 8 weeks with >99% reported accuracy, genetic testing, a broader genomic portfolio (Portfolio Genómico) delivered through the Biogenómica brand, and ALCAT food intolerance testing. Operational technology includes an electronic referral system (remito electrónico) for B2B clients, an online results portal (suresultado.com), and quality certifications from CAP, PEEC, FBA, and OAA. Genetic operations are consolidated under the Biogenómica sub-brand, shared with affiliated entity Diagnóstico Maipú.

Revenue mechanics combine fee-for-service patient testing (insured and private pay, with installment plans via 3- or 6-cuotas sin interés), recurring reference-lab relationships with 500+ institutional clients, and premium elective tests such as Sexado Fetal priced at ARS 99,500. Distribution relies on physical branches, home visits, WhatsApp booking, and a loyalty credential (Credencial Mi Lab). The company has no disclosed funding rounds, institutional investors, mobile applications, or API integrations in the public record.
