Salomão e Pardelhas

What Salomão e Pardelhas does

Salomão e Pardelhas (legal name: Laboratório de Análises Clínicas Salomão & Pardelhas) is a privately held clinical analysis laboratory founded in January 1997 in Petrópolis, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The company provides diagnostic testing across 14 specialties — hematology, biochemistry, immunology, hormone assays, microbiology, fetal risk testing, newborn screening (Teste do Pezinho), paternity testing, histopathology, cytopathology, toxicology, urinalysis, and parasitology — serving individual patients, physicians, and healthcare providers in the Serrana and Baixada Fluminense regions of Rio de Janeiro state.

The laboratory operates two physical locations: a headquarters at Shopping Copacabana in downtown Petrópolis (inaugurated May 2022) and the Centro de Diagnóstico Laboratorial de Imbariê in Duque de Caxias, complemented by a home sample collection service and an online results portal (Laudo Online) plus automated budget/quote request. Service quality is supported by internal quality controls, participation in external quality assessment programs (Avaliação Externa da Qualidade), and multiple consecutive years of the Prêmio de Excelência Laboratorial from the Programa Nacional de Controle de Qualidade.

Revenue is generated primarily through fee-for-service diagnostic testing billed to a diversified payor mix including SUS (the Brazilian public health system), private insurers Unimed, Bradesco Saúde, and GEAP, popular discount plans (Convênio Popular), and direct out-of-pocket payments from particular patients. The company is founder-owned (Dr. Antonio Salomão as General Director and Technical Responsible; Dra. Margareth R.P.A. Salomão as General Director), with no disclosed external investors or institutional capital, and operates with a clinical body of registered specialists across pathology, cytology, pharmacy, and quality assurance.
