What is Nicotine & Cotinine?

Nicotine is a stimulant of the central nervous system found in cigarettes, vapes, and nicotine products. In smaller doses Nicotine increases alertness and energy but in larger doses it has sedative effects. Its primary metabolite is cotinine which is a main alkaloid in tobacco. Cotinine stays in the body longer than nicotine, making it more likely to be detected on a drug test.

Occasional users: Cotinine can be detected for 1-4 days.

Frequent users: Cotinine may stay in the system for up to 3 weeks.

Cotinine may be present in urine after using cigarettes, vapes, nicotine gum, patches, lozenges, and strips.

How Long Does Nicotine Stay in the Body?

The detection period differs depending on several factors including individual metabolism, health, and usage habits.

How to use Cotinine Test Strip:

1. Open the sealed pouch and use the test strip immediately.
2. Hold the strip by the end with the product name—avoid touching the test membrane.
3. Dip the strip vertically into the urine sample cup for 10–15 seconds, ensuring it does not exceed the MAX line.
4. Remove the strip and place it on a flat, non-absorbent surface.
5. Read results in 5 minutes—do not interpret after 10 minutes.

Interpreting the Results:

• Positive: One colored band appears in the control region (C); no band in the test region (T).
• Negative: Two colored bands appear—one in the control region (C) and one in the test region (T).
• Invalid: No band appears in the control region (C); repeat the test with a fresh strip.
