The Urine Cotinine (Nicotine) Test is a diagnostic tool used to detect the presence of cotinine, a metabolite of nicotine, in urine. It is commonly used to assess tobacco use, exposure to secondhand smoke, or compliance with smoking cessation programs. The test uses immunochromatography, a method that relies on the interaction between antibodies and cotinine to produce a visible result on a test strip. Cotinine remains detectable in urine for up to 3-4 days after nicotine exposure, making this test an effective way to monitor recent tobacco use or nicotine exposure.

faqFrequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Why do I need this test?

How to prepare for this test?

Cotinine test requires a urine sample. A lab technician will provide you with instructions on how to collect the urine sample. Drink enough water before going for this test so that you can make enough urine for the sample. Stay away from second hand smokers.
