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.

Panel-specific source · Source dated September 10, 2026

Collect

Confirmed

Visit the selected laboratory for a blood draw. Labcorp test 001065 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, excludes oxalate, EDTA and citrate plasma, and requires separation from cells within 45 minutes. Quest test 334 uses serum, with heparin plasma also acceptable, a serum separator tube and room-temperature transport. Exact BioReference technical handling for code 0058-8 was not independently assessed, so follow that laboratory's order-specific instructions. Mito recommends fasting for 8 to 12 hours, with 8 hours preferred, although total cholesterol itself changes little with food. Avoid alcohol the night before, keep diet and activity typical, and test lipid medications under consistent conditions. Follow the selected laboratory's complete order instructions.

The balance

The Strengths. The Tradeoffs.

Strengths

  • Online ordering includes the required laboratory order through Mito.
  • Measures total cholesterol mass concentration in serum or plasma as one result. This is not HDL cholesterol, direct LDL cholesterol, triglycerides, apolipoprotein B, a complete lipid panel, cardiovascular diagnosis or individualized treatment recommendation.
  • 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 $2.43 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 334, for 47 states and Washington, DC, excluding NJ, NY and RI: $2.43 without membership or $1.73 with optional $9 monthly membership, plus a separate $15.00 order fee.
  • Labcorp test 001065, for 47 states and Washington, DC, excluding NJ, NY and RI: $4.95 without membership or $3.53 with optional $9 monthly membership, plus a separate $11.50 order fee.
  • BioReference test 0058-8, for NJ, NY and RI: $6.58 without membership or $4.70 with optional $9 monthly membership, plus a separate $9.50 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.
  • Total cholesterol combines cholesterol carried in different lipoprotein fractions and is a blunt screening measure by itself. A normal total can coexist with an unfavorable HDL or LDL pattern, and a high result does not diagnose cardiovascular disease. Interpret it with the complete lipid profile, health history and clinician guidance.
  • Mito recommends fasting for 8 to 12 hours, with 8 hours preferred, although total cholesterol itself changes little with food. Avoid alcohol the night before, keep diet and activity typical, and test lipid medications under consistent conditions. Follow the selected laboratory's complete order instructions.
  • 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.
