A full biomarker panel typically costs $150 to $650 for cash-paying consumers in the US, with a common budget range of $300–$500 for a genuinely broad test[2]. Prices can extend to $1,000+ for highly comprehensive or research-grade "omics" panels (e.g., proteomics or multi-omics) that analyze hundreds of markers[1][5].
Cost Breakdown by Panel Type
| Panel Category | Typical Price Range (US) | What It Includes |
|---|---|---|
| Budget/Basic | $74–$150 | 7–28 key biomarkers (e.g., Ulta Lab Tests' baseline panel at $73.95)[2][9] |
| Mid-Range Wellness | $200–$320 | 15–25 markers (e.g., Personalabs' "Healthy Checkup")[2] |
| Comprehensive | $300–$650 | 100+ markers (e.g., Function Health at $499/year for 2 tests; Levels Labs Comprehensive at $399)[2][4][7] |
| Premium/Omics | $500–$3,000+ | Research-grade proteomics/metabolomics or full-body executive assessments[1][4] |
