AllTest Cotinine Drug Testing Cassettes – Accurate Nicotine Detection
The AllTest Cotinine Drug Testing Cassettes provide a fast, reliable, and easy-to-use method for detecting cotinine, a key metabolite of nicotine. This test is widely used for identifying tobacco and nicotine use, monitoring smoking cessation, and ensuring compliance with nicotine-free policies.
What is Cotinine?
Cotinine is the primary byproduct of nicotine metabolism in the body. It remains detectable for longer than nicotine, making it an ideal biomarker for identifying recent nicotine exposure. Cotinine levels in urine is the most widely used Cotinine test, due to their convenience and accuracy.
Key Features of the AllTest Cotinine Drug Testing Cassette:
✔ Highly Accurate & Reliable – Provides results with over 99% accuracy when used correctly.
✔ Fast Results – Detects cotinine within 5 minutes after applying the sample.
✔ Easy to Use – Simple cassette method with clear, easy-to-interpret results.
✔ Non-Invasive Testing – Uses a urine sample.
✔ Cut-Off Level: 100 ng/mL – Designed to detect nicotine use while minimising false positives from environmental exposure.
Who Can Use This Test?
- Health & insurance assessments – Used to determine smoking status for life and health insurance applications.
- Smoking cessation programs – Monitors progress for individuals trying to quit smoking or using nicotine replacement therapies.
- Medical professionals – Assists doctors in evaluating nicotine exposure and secondhand smoke risks.

How long does Nicotine stay in your urine for a urine test?
Nicotine can be detected in urine for up to 5 days after use in a urine test. However, this detection window can vary depending on factors such as the frequency and amount of nicotine use, individual metabolism, and the sensitivity of the urine test being used. Ultra sensitive detection Cotinine urine tests may detect Nicotine use for longer.
Generally, for occasional smokers or users of nicotine products, nicotine and its metabolites may be detectable at the shorter end of this range, while heavy or frequent users might find that nicotine is detectable for a longer period within the 5 days window.
Cotinine, the primary metabolite of nicotine, is often tested because it remains in the body longer than nicotine itself. Testing for cotinine provides a more extended detection window and a more reliable measure of nicotine exposure.
How long does cotinine stay in the body?
Cotinine can be detected in urine for up to 4 days, in blood for up to 10 days, and in hair for up to 3 months after nicotine use. The detection window varies based on frequency of use and individual metabolism.
Will secondhand smoke exposure cause a positive test result?
This test has a cut-off level of 100 ng/mL, meaning casual exposure to secondhand smoke is unlikely to result in a positive result. However, prolonged exposure in enclosed spaces may lead to detectable levels.
Can e-cigarettes and nicotine replacement products cause a positive result?
Yes. Since e-cigarettes, nicotine patches, gum, and lozenges all contain nicotine, they will lead to cotinine detection in the test.
Can drinking water help clear cotinine faster?
Staying hydrated may help flush cotinine from the system more quickly, but it cannot instantly remove all traces of nicotine use. The body naturally eliminates cotinine over several days.
Used on recommendation as part of health screening program and seems to be sensitive and accurate indication of nicotine. Larger packs are better value
