Cotinine is now recognized as the main biological marker of tobacco smoking. A positive result in this test means an active smoking (several cigarettes have been smoked in the last 48 hours). For parents, this smoking urine test can be used as part of a comprehensive prevention against cigarette use. Smoking is prohibited in most families and homes. It is not to spoil the life of our teenagers, but to protect them. Time-to-time screenings may help to enforce this rule, thanks to their dissuasive effect. Indeed, many of them will hesitate to light a cigarette if they know that they will be busted by a simple tobacco urine test. Tobacco has always been (along with alcohol) the first drug to be used by young people. The first cigarettes are smoked between friends, cousins or neighbors. They smoke discreetly, taking care that the parents do not realize it. Most adult smokers have started this way. It often happens that young people begin to smoke to yield to the pressure of the group. Putting in place a regular nicotine test can give to your children a timely and valid reason to refuse a cigarette: “no, I can not smoke, my parents test me”. For many teenagers, this will in any case be a sufficient deterrent. Moreover, if they never smoke cigarettes, the chances of never having a problem with other drugs will be multiplied. Allow test, urine specimen, and/or controls to reach room temperature (15-30°C) prior to testing. HOW TO USE THE TEST Bring the pouch to room temperature before opening it. Remove the test cassette from the sealed pouch and use it within one hour. Place the test cassette on a clean and level surface. Hold the dropper vertically and transfer 3 full drops of urine (approx. 120 mL) to the specimen well (S) of the test cassette, and then start the timer. Avoid trapping air bubbles in the specimen well (S). See the illustration below. Wait for the colored line(s) to appear. The result should be read at 5 minutes. It is important that the background is clear before the result is read. Do not interpret the result after 10 minutes. QUALITY CONTROL A procedural control is included in the test. A colored line appearing in the control line region (C) is considered an internal positive procedural control. It confirms sufficient specimen volume, adequate membrane wicking and correct procedural technique. Control standards are not supplied with this kit; however, it is recommended that positive and negative controls be tested as good laboratory practice to confirm the test procedure and to verify proper test – R 625
