Nicotine Cotinine Urine Rapid Test Kit

FDA Approved Tobacco Test Kit

The Nano-Check™ Nicotine test is a rapid, self-controlled immunoassay for the qualitative detection of cotinine in human urine. Cotinine is a primary metabolite of nicotine and remains in the body of habitual tobacco users for approximately 17 hours. The cutoff concentration of this test is 200 & 500 ng/ml of cotinine. This in-vitro assay is intended for professional use.

How to Use Cotinine Urine Nicotine Rapid Test Kit

:: Allow test device and the urine specimen to reach room temperature (15-30°C) before testing.
1. Bring the packet to room temperature before using it. Remove the nicotine test device from the sealed packet and use it as soon as possible.

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

3. Wait for the colored line(s) to appear. The result should be read at 5 minutes. It is vital that the background is clear before reading the result. The results should not be interpreted after 10 minutes.



:: Interpretation of Results
NEGATIVE:* Two lines appear. One colored line should be in the control line region (C), and another colored line should be in the test line region (T). This negative result indicates that the Cotinine (COT) 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 (COT) 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.
