Olvg Lab

What Olvg Lab does

OLVG Lab BV is a Dutch integrated medical diagnostic laboratory organization headquartered in Amsterdam, established on January 1, 2018 as a spin-off from Stichting OLVG hospital. It combines three laboratory disciplines — clinical chemistry (Klinische Chemie), medical microbiology (Medische Microbiologie), and pathology (Pathologie) — under a single organizational umbrella, employing approximately 390 staff across the network. The lab serves as the primary diagnostic provider for OLVG hospital and contracted external customers including regional hospitals (Flevoziekenhuis, Tergooi MC, BovenIJ Ziekenhuis), independent treatment centers (ZBCs) such as Jan van Goyenkliniek, and general practitioner practices across Greater Amsterdam, Flevoland, and Noord-Holland.

Core products and technology span routine and specialized diagnostic testing including hematology, coagulation, blood transfusion, endocrinology, immunology, fertility, bacteriology, serology, parasitology, mycology, cytology, histology, and molecular pathology. The organization operates modern automated analysis techniques, a shared laboratory information system, digital pathology with AI-supported image analysis for remote multidisciplinary consultation, point-of-care testing (POCT), and a home blood collection service. A strategic Labcombinatie partnership with Sanquin extends the diagnostic palette into highly complex molecular diagnostics. OLVG Lab holds ISO 15189 accreditation from the Raad voor Accreditatie across all three disciplines (M073, M216, M316) plus ISO 22870 for POCT and EU MDR/IVDR compliance for in-house IVDs.

Revenue is generated through contracted diagnostic service agreements with healthcare providers and health insurers, supplemented by ancillary services such as home blood collection and obduction (autopsy) procedures. Distribution operates via the Zorgdomein digital ordering platform, multiple 24/7 blood collection locations at OLVG Oost and West, and a logistics network serving partner hospitals and GP practices. Recent strategic actions include the July 2024 acquisition of Diagnost-IQ BV and Comicro BV from Zaans Medisch Centrum and Dijklander Ziekenhuis, the October 2024 addition of Pascal Bleeker to the board, and the phased January 2026 relocation to Basecamp, a new sustainable laboratory facility in Amsterdam-West that consolidates the disciplines in a single future-proof site.
