Nicotine and Cotinine Urine Test
Comprehensive Tobacco Use Detection and Monitoring
The Nicotine and Cotinine Urine Test represents a sophisticated diagnostic approach to detecting and quantifying tobacco exposure through advanced laboratory analysis. This specialized test provides crucial insights into an individual’s tobacco use patterns, serving multiple purposes from workplace compliance to healthcare management.
What This Test Measures and Detects
Our state-of-the-art urine test specifically targets and measures two key biomarkers:
- Nicotine: The primary addictive compound found in tobacco products
- Cotinine: The major metabolite of nicotine that remains detectable in the body for longer periods
Using cutting-edge Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry/Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) technology, this test delivers unparalleled accuracy in detecting even minimal tobacco exposure. The methodology ensures precise quantification, distinguishing between active tobacco use, passive exposure, and various tobacco product consumption.

This comprehensive screening is particularly valuable for:
- Workplace Screening: Employers implementing no-smoking policies or tobacco-free workplace initiatives
- Insurance Applicants: Individuals undergoing life or health insurance underwriting processes
- Smoking Cessation Programs: Participants in tobacco cessation treatments requiring progress monitoring
- Medical Evaluations: Patients being assessed for tobacco-related health conditions
- Legal and Forensic Cases: Situations requiring objective evidence of tobacco use
- Clinical Research: Participants in studies involving tobacco use assessment
