      The Centers for Disease Control (CDC), in collaboration with the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute, has supported programs for standardization of lipid measurements for more than 30 years. The cornerstone of these lipid standardization programs has been an accuracy base of lipid reference materials and methods developed by the CDC. Through its efforts with manufacturers of diagnostic products and specialized lipid research laboratories, CDC′s standardization programs have become a national resource for improving accuracy in the measurement of cholesterol and other lipids, lipoproteins, and apolipoproteins.
