About this test

Brand we're currently stocking: OneStep

Cotinine remains in the body longer than nicotine itself, which makes it a dependable marker for verifying exposure to tobacco products or nicotine-containing devices.

Beyond simple detection, this test is useful for tracking changes in nicotine use over time, supporting efforts to quit, verifying compliance in monitoring programs, or confirming exposure in settings where nicotine avoidance is required.

This test is a reliable option for individuals or workplaces seeking fast, discreet results. With a high accuracy rate of 99%, it delivers dependable performance when you need answers fast.

The test has a sensitivity level of 200ng/mL, making it suitable for identifying nicotine use from smoking, vaping, or other nicotine-containing products. Cotinine can remain present in urine for approximately 2 to 5 days following the last use, providing a practical window for detection.

Each strip is individually packaged for cleanliness and ease of use, with simple instructions included. No special training or equipment is necessary; just dip the strip and check the results within minutes.

How to use this test

Remove the test strip

Open the foil pouch and remove the test strip. Only break the seal when you’re ready to begin the test.

Obtain a urine sample

Using a clean sample pot, gather a urine sample from the person being tested.

To maintain accuracy, ensure that the sample is fresh and recently gathered.

Dip the testing strip

Carefully dip the testing panel into the urine sample, ensuring the urine does not exceed the indicated maximum line.

Remove the test and wait for the result

Ensure the test absorbs the sample for around 10-15 seconds. Remove the test and place it on a level, sanitised surface to let the results develop.

Confirm the test is working

A pink-coloured line should appear on the strip at the control band (C), indicating the test is working properly.

If no line appears in the control band, the test is invalid and should be repeated.

All results should be read within 10 minutes to avoid false readings.

Interpret a negative result

Negative results can be read as soon as they appear.

If two lines appear, one at the control band (C) and one at the test band (T), this indicates a negative result for the drug being tested.

Positive results must be read at least 5 minutes after removing the test from the urine sample.

If only one pink line appears at the control band (C) and no line appears at the test band (T), this indicates a positive result for the drug being tested.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is this test recommended for?

This test is ideal for anyone wanting to quickly and accurately check for recent nicotine use from smoking or vaping.

Perfect for individual use, workplace screenings, or situations where confidential monitoring is essential, this test provides a straightforward, private solution.

With an accuracy rate of 99%, it’s ideal for initial screenings or periodic testing, providing an easy, non-invasive way to stay informed and maintain control over nicotine consumption.

Do I need to send my sample to a lab?

No lab analysis is required. This cotinine test delivers immediate results in the comfort of your home or office.

Simply collect a urine sample, dip the test strip, and view the results in just a few minutes.

It’s a fast, discreet way to detect nicotine use without the need for professional testing services.

How long after use can cotinine be detected?

Cotinine can usually be detected in urine for about 2 to 5 days after nicotine use. The detection window can vary depending on factors such as the amount used, the individual’s metabolism, and how often nicotine is consumed.

This timeframe offers a useful period for assessing recent nicotine use. For the most accurate results, it’s important to conduct the test within a reasonable period after suspected use.

What should I do if my test result is positive?

If the test result comes back positive, then this indicates that notinine metabolites are present in the urine sample.

In this case, it may be helpful to follow up with some additional steps, including reaching out for professional support on managing substance use.

Can this test differentiate between Cotinine and other drugs?

This test is specifically designed to detect cotinine and will only identify nicotine-related metabolites in the urine. It is not sensitive to other drugs, so there is no risk of false positives from different substances.

If your focus is solely on nicotine use, this test offers a reliable solution.

For more extensive testing, we also provide multi-drug panels that can detect several substances simultaneously.

How is this test compliant with workplace testing guidelines?

This cotinine urine test adheres to the sensitivity guidelines set by the European Workplace Drug Testing Society (EWDTS), making it an ideal choice for initial workplace screenings.

With its proven accuracy and alignment with workplace testing standards, it serves as a dependable solution for detecting nicotine use in professional settings. While no test can guarantee 100% accuracy, this test provides a high level of reliability for these purposes.

Can this test detect nicotine from vaping as well as smoking?

Yes. This test detects cotinine, the primary metabolite of nicotine, which your body produces after consuming nicotine from any source. This means the test is practical for identifying nicotine use from cigarettes, e-cigarettes, vapes, and other nicotine-containing products.

Whether someone is a regular smoker, an occasional vaper, or using nicotine replacement products, this test provides a reliable way to monitor recent nicotine exposure. It is beneficial for those who want to track vaping habits, verify a smoke-free environment, or maintain control over nicotine intake.
