Cotinine (COT) Tobacco Test – Reliable Detection of Nicotine Consumption in Urine
The cotinine test strip enables fast and precise detection of tobacco and nicotine consumption – ideal for self-monitoring, prevention or medical use.
What is cotinine and why is it relevant?
Cotinine is the main metabolite of nicotine in the human body. It is considered a reliable marker for active or passive tobacco consumption and can be detected in the urine for much longer than nicotine itself – usually up to 48 hours. The test offered here detects cotinine in the urine from a concentration of 200 ng/ml and provides a clear result after just a few minutes.
