Method LAL-METH-08 · GC-FID · Accreditation: By requestWhat it measures
Cholesterol is run to LAL-METH-08 (GC-FID) on foods, tissue, oils. It sits in the sterol family, and is run to method but sits outside our current accreditation scope, which we mark rather than leaving implied.
Most clients order it alongside the other tests in its family, which is why the panels exist — they bundle the tests that genuinely answer one question together, rather than making you assemble them yourself.
