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 123283 accepts serum, which is preferred, or EDTA plasma; 0.5 mL is requested and 0.2 mL is the minimum. Separate serum or plasma from cells within two hours, refrigerate and ship with cold packs. Quest test 94218 requests 1 mL serum, minimum 0.5 mL, separated within four hours and transported refrigerated with cold packs. Exact BioReference technical handling for code 6155-6 was not independently assessed, so follow that laboratory's order-specific instructions. Fasting is not required by Mito or Labcorp. Quest says fasting is preferred but not required. Follow the complete order instructions and the selected laboratory's guidance, 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 lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2 enzyme activity in serum or plasma as one result. This is an activity assay, not an Lp-PLA2 mass concentration, lipid particle count, hs-CRP, lipoprotein(a), lipid panel or 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 $25.72 is the BioReference nonmember option in NJ, NY and RI, before its separate order fee. Other laboratory options have different prices and fees.
  • BioReference test 6155-6, for NJ, NY and RI: $25.72 without membership or $18.37 with optional $9 monthly membership, plus a separate $9.50 order fee.
  • Quest Diagnostics test 94218, for 47 states and Washington, DC, excluding NJ, NY and RI: $35.70 without membership or $25.50 with optional $9 monthly membership, plus a separate $15.00 order fee.
  • Labcorp test 123283, for 47 states and Washington, DC, excluding NJ, NY and RI: $52.52 without membership or $37.51 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 2-4 days; this is not a guaranteed order-to-result deadline.
  • Lp-PLA2 activity is a cardiovascular risk marker, not a diagnosis and not a standalone measure of coronary heart disease risk. Interpret it with lipid results, blood pressure, smoking, diabetes, family history and the rest of the clinical picture. The activity result should not be treated as interchangeable with an Lp-PLA2 mass assay.
  • Fasting is not required by Mito or Labcorp. Quest says fasting is preferred but not required. Follow the complete order instructions and the selected laboratory's guidance, 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.
