The Nicotine Test Kit can detect the presence of nicotine and cotinine in the
urine in order to indicate tobacco use. Cotinine is produced after nicotine
enters the body, and is detectable up to 4 days after a person’s last
cigarette. This test is so easy to use. Just drop a few drops of urine into
the sample well and wait. Results can be read in 5 minutes! Once the purple
control band appears on the left section, another purple band will appear on
the right if the test is negative. A second band will NOT appear if the test
is positive. Cutoff level of 200 ng. Smoking Status / Detects Cotinine, a

Available Most experts and healthcare professionals agree that nicotine is
unquestionably the most addictive drug in use today. The principle source of
nicotine is tobacco products. Tobacco smoking or chewing results in the
absorption of nicotine through the lung and buccal/nasal epithelium, after
which nicotine is metabolized into 20 metabolites excreted in urine. Cotinine,
a major metabolite of nicotine accumulates in the body with regular smoking.
It is reported that Cotinine is stable in body fluids and has a relatively
long half-life of approximately 17 hours. Therefore the detection of Cotinine
is less dependent on the time of sampling than that of nicotine and other
metabolites. Cotinine has been widely used as a bio-marker of tobacco
exposure.
