Laboratorio Santa Catarina

What Laboratorio Santa Catarina does

Laboratório Santa Catarina is a privately held clinical analysis laboratory founded in 1976 and headquartered in Tubarão, Santa Catarina, Brazil. The company operates 12 collection units across the Amurel region spanning Tubarão, Gravatal, Capivari de Baixo, Jaguaruna, Imbituba, Laguna, Treze de Maio, and Pescaria Brava, and offers more than 2,300 types of laboratory examinations covering hematology, biochemistry, hormones, microbiology, serology, and tumor markers. Its core service is delivered through automated laboratory equipment with a 24-hour technical operation, supported by the Shift laboratory information system (LIS) for exam processing, results management, and patient portal delivery. The company is ISO 9001 certified (since February 2006), participates in PNCQ proficiency testing (since 1996), and holds ANVISA regulatory certification.

The laboratory serves four primary customer segments: individual patients (the dominant segment), corporate clients requiring occupational health and on-site testing, four exclusive hospital partners (Hospital Nossa Senhora da Conceição, Hospital São Camilo, Hospital de Caridade de Jaguaruna, and Hospital de Caridade Senhor Bom Jesus dos Passos), and health insurance members covered by 24+ convênio providers including Unimed, Amil, Bradesco Saúde, Hapvida, Cassi, and Saúde Caixa. Its go-to-market is direct-to-consumer through owned physical units, home collection, corporate on-site collection, and a digital patient portal with companion Android and iOS apps.

Revenue is generated through per-procedure billing across insurance and cash-pay channels, with consumer-facing check-up packages priced between R$25 (Check-up Básico Renal) and R$399 (Check-up Fitness Feminino) and corporate and hospital contracts on negotiated terms. Ownership appears to be family-led, with the Furtado family (including founding biochemist Dr. Antônio Pedro Furtado) holding significant involvement; no external institutional investors, funding rounds, or M&A activity are disclosed in the available data.
