Ranges
Each lab publishes a reference range for the population groups it tests, usually the middle 95% of results. These intervals describe that population, not an optimal or healthy target. How ranges differ
Quest Diagnostics, Micronutrients, Antioxidants Panel 10187
| Population | Interval |
|---|---|
| Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) | >35 ug/mL |
| 18-19 years | 26-72 mcg/dL |
| >19 years | 38-98 mcg/dL |
| Male ≥18 years | 0.2-2.1 mg/dL |
| Female ≥18 years | 0.3-2.7 mg/dL |
| Vitamin E, Alpha Tocopherol | ≥18 years | 5.7-19.9 mg/L |
| Vitamin E, Beta-Gamma Tocopherol | ≥18 years | <4.4 mg/L |
Tests

Coenzyme Q10 19826
Serum · No fasting · Turnaround Set up: Mon-Fri
Quest Diagnostics catalog pageMethod and collection
- Method
- Liquid Chromatography/Tandem Mass Spectrometry (LC/MS/MS)
- Preparation
- Fasting is not required. Patients should not take Coenzyme Q10 supplements the morning of the test. They may take other nutritional supplements prior to testing.
- Collection
- It is preferred that the specimen is shipped the day it is drawn. Please wrap the specimen in foil or transfer specimens to amber tubes if they are not to be shipped the same day. Specimens must be protected from direct light. 1. Gently invert 5x (DO NOT SHAKE!). 2. Let blood clot for 30 minutes at room temperature. 3. Centrifuge for 10 minutes. 4. Store and transport refrigerated.

Micronutrients, Antioxidants Panel 10187
4 analytes · Serum · Fasting required
Quest Diagnostics catalog pageMethod and collection
- Method
- Chromatography • Liquid Chromatography/Tandem Mass Spectrometry (LC/MS/MS)
- Preparation
- Overnight fasting required. Avoid taking Coenzyme Q10 supplements the morning of the test. Refrain from eating fruits or taking vitamin C supplements 24 hours prior to collection.
- Collection
- Patients should be 18 years of age or greater. Gently invert specimen 5 times (DO NOT SHAKE!), allow to clot for 30-60 minutes at room temperature, centrifuge 10 minutes. Separate serum into 3 amber plastic transport tubes: 1 mL (0.5 mL min) for Vitamin A and E, protect from light, ship frozen (can be refrigerated). 1 mL (0.5 mL min) for Vitamin C, freeze immediately, protect from light, ship frozen. 1 mL (0.5 mL min) for CoQ10, protect from light, ship refrigerated. Do not ship on dry ice. Coenzyme Q10 must NOT be shipped on dry ice. Vitamin C must be shipped on dry ice. Additionally, for remote collection sites, or those with no access to ultra-low freezers or dry ice, it is recommended to schedule patient visits/draws after 12:00 p.m. local time and store the samples at -10° C to -30° C freezers (stable for 8 hours) until picked up by courier. Couriers should then transfer samples to -70° C storage (on dry ice) while enroute to the performing site location.

Verify these ranges and sources
We compile this page from named laboratory catalogs, guidelines and studies. Labs calculate reference intervals from the people they test, for one assay method and one population group, so an interval describes that population rather than an optimal target.
