Clinical Biochemistry maintains a comprehensive selection of routine, high-volume automated clinical biochemistry tests and a diverse menu of serological tests, endocrine/hormone analysis, tumor markers, and other testing options.
This section also operates a regional facility on Cleveland Clinic’s Main Campus that provides rapid blood gas and acute care testing for operating rooms and intensive care units.
Additionally, the Clinical Biochemistry section is also responsible for oversight of Cleveland Clinic’s Point of Care Testing program, which includes medical diagnostic testing performed outside of the clinical laboratory but close to where the patient is receiving care.
