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.

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.
