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.

What it asks of you

Sample and fulfillment journey

Order

Confirmed

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

Panel-specific source · Source dated September 9, 2026

Collect

Confirmed

Attend the selected partner laboratory for a timed PM blood draw. Confirm the exact afternoon or evening collection window before booking. Labcorp 104026 requires serum, prefers a gel-barrier tube and accepts a red-top tube with separated serum transferred to a plastic transport tube. Its requested volume is 1 mL, with a 0.7 mL minimum that does not permit repeat testing. Citrate plasma and improper labeling can cause rejection. Follow the selected laboratory instructions; this is not a home kit. No fasting is required in the checked Mito instructions. Record the exact collection time and date, recent illness, stress and medication use. Mito and Labcorp warn that high-dose biotin can interfere and specify at least 72 hours without it before collection; confirm this with your clinician and chosen laboratory. Do not stop prescribed medicines on your own.

The balance

The Strengths. The Tradeoffs.

Strengths

  • Online ordering includes the required laboratory order through Mito.
  • Measures total cortisol in one timed PM blood specimen. An AM draw, complete daily cortisol curve, free cortisol, salivary or 24-hour urinary cortisol and ACTH stimulation testing are not included.
  • 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 $7.56 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 4213, for 47 states and Washington, DC, excluding NJ, NY and RI: $7.56 without membership or $5.40 with optional $9 monthly membership, plus a separate $15.00 order fee.
  • Labcorp test 104026, for 47 states and Washington, DC, excluding NJ, NY and RI: $19.66 without membership or $14.04 with optional $9 monthly membership, plus a separate $11.50 order fee.
  • BioReference test 0067-9, for NJ, NY and RI: $24.66 without membership or $17.61 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 1-2 days; this is not a guaranteed order-to-result deadline.
  • A single PM cortisol result does not diagnose or rule out Cushing syndrome or adrenal insufficiency. Stress, recent illness, medicines and collection timing affect results. This order is not a replacement for the separately selected tests used in an endocrine diagnostic workup.
  • No fasting is required in the checked Mito instructions. Record the exact collection time and date, recent illness, stress and medication use. Mito and Labcorp warn that high-dose biotin can interfere and specify at least 72 hours without it before collection; confirm this with your clinician and chosen laboratory. Do not stop prescribed medicines on your own.
  • 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.
