What Labsur does

LABSUR (legal entity A.C. LABSUR, S.L.) is a privately-held clinical laboratory founded in 1982 and headquartered in the Cartuja Science and Technology Park in Seville, Spain. The company specializes in the diagnosis of digestive pathologies and food-related disorders, operating a comprehensive clinical analysis service spanning clinical biochemistry, hematology, immunology, endocrinology, microbiology, genetics, toxicology, and reproductive diagnostics. Labsur collaborates with more than 200 healthcare professionals (gastroenterologists, nutritionists, allergists) across Spain, and manages the clinical laboratory of Hospital Victoria Eugenia de la Cruz Roja de Sevilla under an embedded service arrangement. The patient base is split between direct-to-consumer individuals accessing services through a self-serve online results portal and B2B referrals routed through a dedicated healthcare professional portal.

The company's flagship product is the Test HANA (Hipersensibilidad Alimentaria No Alérgica / Non-Allergic Food Hypersensitivity), a proprietary blood-based diagnostic that exposes patient immune cells to different food proteins to detect cell-mediated immunological reactions missed by conventional antibody-based intolerance tests. Labsur holds several invention patents for HANA diagnostic methods developed over four decades of pioneering research, positioning it as a domain authority in this specific niche. The broader service catalog includes celiac studies, lactose/fructose/sorbitol intolerance testing, H. pylori detection, SIBO diagnosis via hydrogen/methane breath testing, intestinal malabsorption and permeability assessments, inflammatory markers, allergy studies, tumor markers, and biological fluid analysis — all delivered from the single Seville facility.

Labsur generates revenue on a per-test, one-time-service basis through two channels: direct patient access (with results delivered via resultados.labsur.es authenticated by DNI and analysis number) and professional referrals (managed through profesionales.labsur.es). Pricing is not publicly disclosed. The company also derives institutional revenue from managing Hospital Victoria Eugenia's laboratory. It maintains a strategic co-development partnership with Biomedal for innovative digestive pathology diagnostics, distributes marketing content via LinkedIn, WhatsApp, and a content-rich website, and is recognized on the Top Doctors platform. With 13 in-house employees, Labsur operates as a niche specialty laboratory with limited geographic reach (Andalusia, with Spain-wide professional referral) rather than a scaled diagnostic chain.
