Panel
A panel groups multiple individual tests into one order — a 10-test STD panel, a metabolic panel, a fertility hormone panel. Panels are how most at-home services package their offerings, and panel contents differ between services more than marketing suggests. Comparing exactly which markers a panel includes, rather than the panel name, is one of the most useful things a buyer can do.
