Launch Diagnostics will officially become Palex Diagnostics UK Ltd from 1 January 2027. This change reflects the company’s integration into the wider Palex Group, a European healthcare and diagnostics firm, which acquired Launch during 2025.
For more than 35 years, Launch Diagnostics has supported laboratories, hospitals and healthcare professionals across the United Kingdom, providing diagnostic solutions that help improve patient care and laboratory efficiency. As part of the Palex Group, the company is well positioned to expand the range of technologies and diagnostic solutions available to UK laboratories, combining its local expertise with the resources and experience of a leading European healthcare and diagnostics organisation.
The company says that its service to customers and partners will be unchanged, with the same team continuing to provide the same products, services and technical support that laboratories across the UK have come to rely on. The Palex name and visual identity will be introduced across communications, digital platforms and marketing materials over the coming months.
