Quest Laboratories was formed in December 1998 with the merger of Quest
Laboratory, Heal Laboratory and The Medical Laboratory. It was a subsidiary of
the British Union Provident Association (BUPA) Health Care Asia until May
2005 when ‘The Gribbles Group’ under Healthscope Limited acquired Quest
Laboratories from BUPA.
In Nov 2005, Gribbles Singapore merged with Quest Laboratories into one
operation. Following a year later in Dec, 2006, Quest Laboratories acquired
DoctorsLab Diagnostics. In June 2007, DoctorsLab was merged with Quest
Laboratories into one operation at our main premise at Frontech Centre.
As a result, the new Quest Laboratories Pte. Ltd. is now the largest independent
non-hospital based laboratory in Singapore, complemented by the strength of its
sister network of laboratories in Australia, New Zealand and Malaysia.
Our core laboratory situated at Frontech Center, 15 Jalan Kilang Barat, occupies
the whole 5th floor and another unit at the ground level. Quest employs over 200
staff with over 38 couriers visiting clinics on regular rounds twice or three times a
day to collect samples as well as distribute reports and consumables all over

Our satellite laboratory situated inside the medical center at The Paragon right in
the heart of Orchard Road is strategically located to service the specialist clinics
in that area. We also have an in house laboratory at Thomson Medical Center,
Singapore’s leading private dedicated Women’s and Children facility.
