Cleveland Heartlab

Clinical Lab Services

Cleveland HeartLab is a CAP-accredited and CLIA-certified clinical reference laboratory that receives samples from doctors' offices and hospitals all across the United States and Canada. We specialize in cardiovascular disease prevention, diagnosis and management.

Cleveland HeartLab offers a reliable and affordable group of biomarkers that provide additive and complementary insight into an individual’s risk for heart disease and cardiac events. In particular, we have developed a unique profile of tests focused on managing and reducing inflammation, but also offer an array of standard and advanced tests that doctors can choose from.

Cleveland HeartLab also runs a research and development laboratory where next-generation cardiovascular disease biomarkers are being developed for use in the clinical community. We have a significant pipeline of tests that are protected by exclusive intellectual property and target large, under-addressed markets. An agreement with the Cleveland Clinic provides the company access to intellectual property developed at the Clinic in the areas of cardiovascular and inflammatory biomarkers.

Did you know...

The order in which blood is collected into tubes is important simply because the additive of any tube can potentially carry over into a subsequent tube.


NCCLS published in December of 2003 the following order:
  1. Blood-culture tube
  2. Sodium-citrate tube (e.g. blue stopper)
  3. Serum tubes with or without clot activator, with or without gel separator (e.g., red-gold, speckled-stopper)
  4. Heparin tubes with or without gel (e.g. green-stopper)
  5. EDTA tubes (e.g. lavender-stopper)
  6. glycolytic inhibitor (e.g. gray-stopper)
