The Test Grade. The Reason Behind It.

Potentially useful for the right buyer, with meaningful evidence, coverage, transparency, access, cost, terms, or privacy tradeoffs to review.

A lower grade does not mean a panel is a bad personal fit. Your Fit Score can be higher when its purpose, price, sample, access, or support matches what you need.

Choose this test, your state and an available laboratory online. Mito provides the laboratory order when required.

Panel-specific source · Source dated September 10, 2026

Collect

Confirmed

Visit the selected laboratory for a blood draw. Labcorp test 001123 requests 1 mL serum, which is preferred, or plasma, with a 0.7 mL minimum. It accepts a red-top, gel-barrier or lithium-heparin tube, requires separation from cells within 45 minutes and rejects gross hemolysis. Quest test 822 uses serum or plasma, identifies a serum separator tube and room-temperature transport, and rejects hemolysis or anticoagulants other than heparin. Exact BioReference technical handling for code 0146-1 was not independently assessed, so follow that laboratory's order-specific instructions. Fasting is not required by Mito. Mito advises avoiding strenuous exercise for a day or two before the draw and noting recent alcohol, medications and supplements because they can affect interpretation. Follow the selected laboratory's complete order instructions and use comparable conditions when tracking results over time.

The balance

The Strengths. The Tradeoffs.

Strengths

  • Online ordering includes the required laboratory order through Mito.
  • Measures aspartate aminotransferase enzyme activity in serum or plasma as one result. This is a standalone AST result, not ALT, an AST-to-ALT ratio, a hepatic function panel, creatine kinase, lactate dehydrogenase or a diagnosis.
  • Results are delivered to the Mito dashboard after laboratory processing.

Watch-outs

  • Labcorp and Quest are offered in 47 states and Washington, DC; BioReference is offered in NJ, NY and RI. Laboratory selection and price depend on your state.
  • The starting test price of $2.92 is the Quest Diagnostics nonmember option outside NJ, NY and RI, before its separate order fee. Other laboratory options have different prices and fees.
  • Quest Diagnostics test 822, for 47 states and Washington, DC, excluding NJ, NY and RI: $2.92 without membership or $2.08 with optional $9 monthly membership, plus a separate $15.00 order fee.
  • BioReference test 0146-1, for NJ, NY and RI: $7.69 without membership or $5.49 with optional $9 monthly membership, plus a separate $9.50 order fee.
  • Labcorp test 001123, for 47 states and Washington, DC, excluding NJ, NY and RI: $5.90 without membership or $4.21 with optional $9 monthly membership, plus a separate $11.50 order fee.
  • Membership is optional. The final checkout total, cancellation and refund terms remain unverified.
  • Typical results take about 1 day; this is not a guaranteed order-to-result deadline.
  • AST is a nonspecific tissue-injury marker, not a diagnosis and not a standalone liver assessment. Exercise, muscle injury, alcohol, medications and conditions affecting the liver or other tissues can influence the result. Interpret the laboratory-specific result and reference interval with ALT, symptoms, history and clinician guidance.
  • Fasting is not required by Mito. Mito advises avoiding strenuous exercise for a day or two before the draw and noting recent alcohol, medications and supplements because they can affect interpretation. Follow the selected laboratory's complete order instructions and use comparable conditions when tracking results over time.
  • Results appear in the Mito dashboard after laboratory processing. A personalized action plan requires membership; live consultations cost extra.
  • This test is marked HSA/FSA eligible. Your plan determines individual eligibility and reimbursement.
