Cotinine

What is Cotinine?

Cotinine is a metabolite (byproduct) of nicotine as it is "processed" by the human body. It is an indicator that nicotine has been inhaled or otherwise introduced into the body.

Urine Test Kit for Tobacco Use

When the subject of drug testing is discussed, most people think of marijuana, cocaine, heroin or ecstasy - but did you know that there is also a drug test for tobacco usage? That's right, the same immunoassay technology that is used to detect illicit drugs can also be used to detect cotinine - a metabolite created when the body processes nicotine.

Testing for the presence of cotinine is a standard test to determine if a person is a tobacco user. Cotinine is found in urine from 2 to 4 days after tobacco use. By testing a urine sample, much like a pregnancy test, the tester can detect cotinine.

If you want to check your child for cigarette smoking or see if your own system is free of nicotine, use this simple test kit.
