TEST DIRECTIONS FOR COTININE (NICOTINE) TESTS

Allow Test Device & Urine Specimen to reach room temperature (15-300C) prior to testing.
- When ready to perform the test, remove the test device from the pouch. Discard the small moisture absorbent packet.
- Place the test device on a clean and level surface. Hold the dropper vertically and transfer 3 full drops of urine to the specimen well (S) of the test device and start the timer for 5 minutes. Avoid trapping bubbles in the specimen well (S).
- Wait for the colored lines to appear. The results should be read at 5 minutes. It is important that the background is clear before the result is read. Do not interpret the results after 10 minutes.

How to Read Results |
POSITIVE RESULT: One red line appears in the Control (C) region. No line appears in the Test (T) region.
NEGATIVE RESULT: Two red lines appear. One red line should be in the Control (C) region & another red or pink line should be in the Test (T) region.
Note: The shade of color in the test region (T) may vary, but it should be considered negative even when there is even a faint line.
INVALID RESULT: Control (C) line fails to appear. Insufficient specimen volume or Incorrect procedural techniques are the most likely reasons for the Control line failure.
LIMITATIONS:
- The One Step test Strip provides only a qualitative, preliminary analytical result. A secondary analytical method must be used to obtain a confirmed result. Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry (GC/MS) are the preferred confirmatory methods.
- It is possible that technical or procedural errors, as well as other interfering substances in the urine specimen may cause erroneous results.
- A Positive Result indicates presence of the drug or its metabolites but does not indicate level of intoxication, route of administration or concentration in urine.
- A Negative Result may not necessarily indicate drug-free urine. Negative Results may be obtained when drug is present but below the cutoff level of the test.
