What is Diagnostics as a Service
Diagnostics as a Service turns lab testing into infrastructure One provider runs the whole chain: the kit, the collection, the laboratory, the result your customer reads. You buy it on one contract instead of assembling five suppliers yourself for each market.
Aniva runs that chain for clinics, brands and platforms across Europe. Your name is on the kit, the dashboard and the report, while an accredited partner laboratory does the analysis.
Orderable parameters
Contract to first sample
Core panel turnaround
One partner replaces the five suppliers you would otherwise assemble yourself.
Kits, collection, laboratory, logistics and the results layer. One contract instead of five separate vendors, five separate invoices, and your own team acting as the integrator.
Four steps run between an order and a result
The provider is responsible for all four of them.
Your team orders the test
Your team orders in the partner console. Your developers can do the same through the API, from inside your own product.
The sample is collected
Your customer uses a kit at home, or gives a venous sample in your clinic or at one of 25+ partner locations across Germany.
The laboratory analyses the sample
An accredited partner laboratory runs the analysis. It holds ISO 15189 and works under RiliBAEK, the German quality guideline.
The result is returned twice
Your systems get structured results and signed webhooks. Your customer reads the same values in your own dashboard, with a PDF to download.
Modalities, from clinical chemistry to proteomics and whole-genome sequencing
Collection methods, from a venous draw to a kit your customer uses at home
Partner draw locations across Germany, alongside a draw by your own team
Ordering, status, results and webhooks through one integration
Your customers test at home or in a room, and you sell both.
Venous draw
In your clinic or at 25+ partner locations
Capillary kit
Tasso, lancet, finger-prick
At-home kit
Mailed to your customer, prepaid return
Saliva
Hormones, genetics, microbiome
Urine
Metabolites, hormones, screening
Stool
Microbiome, iFOBT, calprotectin
A mailed kit covers most of what a preventive programme sells. Micronutrient status, hormones and microbiome all work from a sample the customer collects alone. We ship kits with prepaid return postage, so anyone in the country can test in the week they buy.
The venous draw is what a mailed kit cannot do. Some assays need more serum than a finger-prick gives, and some customers will not prick a finger at all. With both routes on one contract, you never turn a customer away.
Diagnostics as a Service, your own laboratory, or direct laboratory contracts
There are three ways to put laboratory values inside a product. The difference is what you have to build, and who is responsible when something goes wrong.
If you already run high volume in your own laboratory, that is cheaper per test than any outsourced model, and a point-of-care test read in the room needs no logistics chain at all. Everywhere else, buying the chain is faster and cheaper than building it.
What a Diagnostics as a Service stack is made of
Six parts make up the service, and a provider missing one of them leaves that part with you.
White-label kits carry your brand
The kit, the instructions and the return packaging carry your name, and nothing in the box names a laboratory.
Home collection covers most of a preventive panel
Kits, saliva, urine and stool cover micronutrient status, hormones and microbiome without a clinic visit.
An accredited laboratory performs the analysis
A partner laboratory works under ISO 15189 and RiliBAEK, and reports the values straight into your account.
One API covers ordering, status and results
The REST API uses an API key header and signs every webhook. Your developers get a sandbox with test data before you go live.
Logistics move every sample to the laboratory
Same-day courier pickup on draw days, prepaid return postage on home kits. Both are part of the service, not a supplier you find yourself.
Your team and your customer each get a screen
Your team works in the partner console and your customer reads your own dashboard, with the laboratory, the courier and the paperwork behind both.
Who buys Diagnostics as a Service
Longevity and preventive clinics
A clinic offers a full laboratory menu without running a laboratory, and the report carries the clinic's name.
Telehealth providers
A video consultation becomes a decision once a real laboratory value is on the screen beside it.
Health and fitness apps
An app adds biomarker features to a subscription without turning itself into a diagnostics company.
Insurers and employers
A prevention programme is built on measured values, not on questionnaire answers.
Medical practices and MVZ
A practice sells Selbstzahlerleistungen, the services a customer pays for privately, with home collection between appointments.
Supplement and nutrition brands
A brand recommends a product from a measured value, not a survey answer, and can measure again later.

Eight questions to ask a provider before you sign
Ask which parameters the accreditation covers
ISO 15189 covers a defined scope. Ask whether the parameters on your own panel list are inside it.
Ask how deep the catalogue is against your two-year roadmap
One micronutrient panel needs perhaps thirty parameters. A clinic that wants sequencing in year two is buying a catalogue it cannot yet name.
Ask which collection methods are live today
Home kits and venous draws are two different products. Ask which ones exist now and which ones are described as coming.
Ask what your developers get on day one
Ask for the documentation, a sandbox, the webhook event list and the retry behaviour. Read them before the commercial call.
Ask how deep the white-labelling goes
White-label means something different at every provider. Ask which of the kit, the packaging, the dashboard, the PDF and the sub-domain take your name.
Ask where the data is processed and by whom
Ask for the processing agreement, the hosting location and the sub-processor list. Check that the answer matches the market you sell in.
Ask which countries are covered today
Kit shipping, laboratory analysis and physical collection each have their own borders. Ask about all three, country by country.
Ask for a live reference in your own segment
A provider that already runs a partner like you can name them. One reference call answers more than a capability list.
Diagnostics as a Service questions we are asked first
What is Diagnostics as a Service?
One provider runs the kit, the collection, the laboratory, the logistics, the results and the paperwork. You buy testing on one contract instead of five.
What does it cost?
Pricing depends on your volume and your panel mix, so you get a per-parameter and per-kit quote built around your programme on the first call, rather than a list price you would have to grow into.
How long does an integration take?
Four weeks from a signed contract to the first customer sample. That includes the white-label setup, the panel selection and the paperwork.
Which sample types are supported?
Six are live: the venous draw, the capillary kit, the at-home kit, saliva, urine and stool. The parameter decides which one a panel can use.
Do we need our own developers?
Your team can work entirely in the partner console without writing code, and the API is there for partners who want testing inside their own product.
Who carries the regulatory responsibility?
The laboratory is responsible for the analysis under its own accreditation, and Aniva for the platform. The split is written into the contract before you sign.
Which countries does Aniva cover?
We sell to partners across Europe. The 25+ physical draw locations are in Germany, so ask about collection in each market you sell into.
How is Diagnostics as a Service different from a laboratory information system?
A laboratory information system is the software a laboratory runs inside its own walls. Diagnostics as a Service is the whole chain, from the order to the report.
