Nicotine – Cotinine Urine Test- Smoke Test (40 Tests Per Box)

Easily and quickly determine smoking status.

If you need to know someone’s smoking status, the Urine Cotinine Test Cassette is the device for you. The test qualitatively detects cotinine (nicotine metabolite) in a simple, one-step urine test, with results available in minutes.

 

DIRECTIONS FOR USE

Allow test device, urine specimen to reach room temperature (15-30°C) prior to testing.

1. Bring the pouch to room temperature before opening it. Remove the test device from the sealed pouch and use it as soon as possible.

2. Place the test device on a clean and level surface. Hold the dropper vertically and transfer 3 full drops of urine (approx. 100 µL) to the specimen well (S) of the test device. Afterwards, start the timer. Avoid trapping air bubbles in the specimen well (S). See the illustration below.

3. Wait for the colored line(s) to appear. Read the results at 5 minutes. It is important that the background is clear before the result is read. Do not interpret the result after 10 minutes.

INTERPRETATION OF RESULTS

NEGATIVE:

* Two lines appear. One colored line should be in the control line region (C), and another apparent colored line should be in the test line region (T). This negative result indicates that the Cotinine concentration is below the detectable level (200 ng/mL). *NOTE: The shade of color in the test line region (T) may vary, but it should be considered negative whenever there is even a faint line.

POSITIVE:

One colored line appears in the control line region (C). No line appears in the test line region (T). This positive result indicates that the Cotinine concentration exceeds the detectable level (200 ng/mL).

INVALID:

Control line fails to appear. Insufficient specimen volume or incorrect procedural techniques are the most likely reasons for control line failure. Review the procedure and repeat the test using a new test device. If the problem persists, discontinue using the lot immediately and contact your local distributor.

 

PRODUCT PROCEDURE NOTE:

Refer to product insert for complete instructions, limitations, precautions, and warnings. For professional in vitro diagnostic use only. This assay provides only a preliminary analytical test result. A more specific alternate chemical method must be used in order to obtain a confirmed analytical result. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) or liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) are the preferred confirmatory methods. Clinical consideration and professional judgment should be applied to any drug of abuse test result, particularly when preliminary positive results are indicated.
