Key Benefits
Reliable Cotinine Detection
Nicotine leaves the body relatively quickly, whereas cotinine remains detectable for much longer. This makes cotinine the preferred substance for identifying recent nicotine use.
Suitable For Smoking And Vaping
The test can detect nicotine exposure from cigarettes, cigars, roll-ups and most nicotine-containing vaping products. As nicotine is converted into cotinine by the body, the test provides a dependable indication of recent use.
Quick And Convenient
Simply add three drops of urine to the test cassette and read the result after five minutes. There is no need for laboratory equipment or complicated preparation.
Clear Results
The simple line-based display is easy to interpret. A control line confirms the test has worked correctly, while the appearance or absence of the test line determines the result.

How Long Does Cotinine Stay In Your System?
Cotinine usually remains detectable for longer than nicotine itself. Typical detection times are:
- Occasional users: around 2 days.

Detection times vary according to nicotine intake, metabolism and individual physiology. For best results, first morning urine is often recommended.

First morning urine generally provides the most concentrated sample and may give the most reliable result.
Can passive smoking cause a positive result?
Heavy exposure to second-hand smoke may occasionally influence results, although normal day-to-day exposure is unlikely to exceed the stated cut-off.
