Laboratório Exame

What Laboratório Exame does

Laboratório Exame is a private, family-controlled clinical analysis laboratory founded on November 3, 1997 by Dr. Elcio Jesus Manzano in Araçatuba, São Paulo, Brazil. Following the founder's passing in July 2018, his daughter Dra. Carolina Manzano assumed the role of director and technical responsible. The laboratory provides a comprehensive range of in-vitro diagnostic testing services including blood tests, cholesterol panels, liver and kidney function analysis, hematology, microbiology, and preventive health screenings. It operates from a single physical facility at Rua Floriano Peixoto, 817 in Araçatuba, supplemented by an external collection (Coleta Externa) service for home-based sample collection.

The laboratory employs 107 staff, including approximately 11 clinical specialists, and operates advanced automated analysis systems for diagnostic precision. Its service delivery is supported by two digital platforms: an online results portal for patients and physicians, and the Shift multi-user platform providing dedicated access for doctors, patients, and corporate clients. Marketing and customer acquisition channels include a content blog, Instagram, Facebook, WhatsApp, phone, and local SEO.

Revenue is generated through fee-for-service diagnostic testing billed to individual patients (both private-pay and insured), corporate clients (employee health screenings and occupational testing), and contracted health insurance providers (convênios). The laboratory maintains agreements with 14+ health insurance partners including Unimed and APAS, distributing payor exposure while concentrating all activity within the regional Araçatuba market in Southeast Brazil. No external funding, M&A activity, or satellite locations are present in the operating record.
