What Peripheral Visions does
Peripheral Visions Inc. is a private US manufacturer and distributor of clinical chemistry consumables and replacement parts, founded in 1987 in Kent, Washington by Kent and Diana Laverdure and now headquartered in Black Diamond, Washington. The company sells under the proprietary Perphormax brand a portfolio of OEM-compatible parts — including probes, electrodes, lamps, cuvettes, pump tubing, maintenance kits, stirrer paddles, disc drives, and circuit boards — for clinical chemistry analyzers from Hitachi/Roche, Beckman Coulter, Olympus, Bayer/Siemens Advia, Biolis, Ciba Corning, Konelab, and Siemens Dimension. It also offers an integrated Ion Selective Electrode (ISE) Module combining a flowcell and electrodes for OEM analyzers.
The business model is primarily hardware sales of aftermarket replacement parts priced approximately 50% below OEM equivalents, supported by same-day shipping from in-house manufacturing. The company has more recently begun designing and manufacturing parts for OEM analyzer companies (electrodes, lamps, and other solutions), effectively extending into white-label/OEM supply. Customers span four segments: hospitals/labs/vets, service and biomedical groups, distributors, and government/tenders. Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer through the company's e-commerce webstore plus phone, email, and fax ordering, supplemented by a three-partner distributor network (Laboratory Advanced Solutions, MYCO Instrumentation, Block Scientific). 75% of revenue is generated internationally, with logistics capability across express air and ocean freight and accommodation of non-standard payment terms including letters of credit and government grants. The company has no external funding, no disclosed revenue, and headcount in the 11-50 range.
