Laboratory and pathology is Jodroc's largest single category, from the haematology and chemistry analysers a lab is built around to the centrifuges, incubators, cold chain and safety cabinets that support them, down to the glassware, pipettes and reagents a bench runs through daily. A semi-automatic chemistry analyser processes 30 to 50 samples an hour and costs roughly KES 180,000 to 290,000 in Kenya, where a fully automatic analyser runs 200 to 350 samples an hour for a correspondingly higher price.
Across a full build, the cost of starting a medical laboratory in Kenya runs from about KES 742,000 for a bench lab inside an existing clinic to KES 8.5 million for an automated standalone lab, with most independent labs opening in 2026 landing near KES 3.5 million.

Common questions
A semi-automatic analyser needs an operator to prepare and load every sample and runs 30 to 50 samples an hour, costing roughly KES 180,000 to 290,000 in Kenya. A fully automatic analyser pipettes, mixes, incubates and washes on its own at 200 to 350 samples an hour, for a higher purchase price offset by lower staff time per sample.
From about KES 742,000 for a bench lab added inside an existing clinic, up to roughly KES 8.5 million for a fully automated standalone laboratory. Most independent labs opening in 2026 land near KES 3.5 million, with equipment accounting for most of that figure.
Yes. Reagents, test kits, pipettes and general glassware are supplied alongside the analysers and equipment itself, so a lab can run on one account rather than sourcing consumables separately.
