What Labomed, Inc. does

Labomed, Inc. is a privately held manufacturer of scientific and medical diagnostic instrumentation headquartered at 2728 S. La Cienega Blvd. in Los Angeles, California, in continuous operation since 1982. The company designs, manufactures, and distributes a portfolio centered on four categories: UV-Vis and atomic absorption spectrophotometers; Labomed LB binocular, trinocular, and USB microscopes for biological, metallurgical, gemological, pharmacological, surgical, dental, and genetic applications; fully automatic and semi-automatic clinical chemistry and biochemistry analyzers (the FACA and BAS series, with throughput from the FACA-200 at 200 tests/hour up to the FACA-801, plus ISE modules, coagulation, hematology, electrolyte, and microplate reader/washer accessories); and digital cameras for microscopy and machine vision imaging. Adjacent lines include HPLC systems, chromatography instruments, and a GC-5000 mass spectrophotometer, along with veterinary hematology analyzers.

The business model is hardware sales through a two-tier distribution channel. In the United States, Labomed ships through two authorized distributors, Fisher Scientific and Thomas Scientific, both providing toll-free ordering; internationally, the company maintains authorized distributors with documented regulatory clearances in Iraq (Ministry of Health) and Saudi Arabia (SFDA). Direct sales inquiries are captured through website information request forms, and pricing is quote-based across all SKUs with no public list price. End-customer segments span hospital and research laboratories, chemistry and pharmaceutical labs, medical diagnostic labs, biological and genetic research facilities, environmental and water/wastewater labs, food processing quality control, and educational institutions. The company holds ISO 9001:2015 certification, CE Conformity for medical diagnostic products, and four FDA 21 CFR Part 820 licenses covering diagnostic equipment, microscopes, spectrophotometers, and reagents.
