NicQuick-Oral Cotinine Test

NicQuick-Oral Cotinine Test – Case of 25 – Precision

The Precision NicQuick–Oral Cotinine Test, with indicator is a rapid, non-invasive diagnostic tool designed to detect cotinine—a primary metabolite of nicotine—in human saliva. This test is widely used in clinical, occupational, and insurance settings to determine recent tobacco use. Its built-in indicator provides a clear visual cue for sample adequacy and test activation, enhancing reliability and ease of use.

This test is ideal for organizations seeking a quick and accurate method to verify tobacco exposure. It supports smoking cessation programs, workplace compliance, and insurance risk assessments. By detecting cotinine levels, it helps differentiate between active smokers, passive exposure, and nicotine replacement therapy users, offering nuanced insights into tobacco use behavior.

The NicQuick test delivers results within 10 minutes, making it suitable for point-of-care environments. It is sensitive to cotinine concentrations as low as 10 ng/mL, ensuring detection even in cases of light or occasional smoking. The indicator mechanism confirms proper sample collection, reducing the likelihood of false negatives due to insufficient saliva volume.

Fast, Non-Invasive, Accuracy

Unlike blood or urine tests, this oral fluid-based method is non-invasive and easy to administer. The test requires no specialized equipment or laboratory processing, allowing for on-site screening with minimal training. The integrated indicator simplifies the procedure, guiding users through each step and confirming test readiness.

Each test kit is individually sealed and includes a test device, instructions for use, and a desiccant to maintain product integrity. The kits are shelf-stable and should be stored at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Proper storage ensures consistent performance throughout the product’s shelf life.

The Precision NicQuick–Oral Cotinine Test complies with relevant diagnostic standards and is validated for clinical use.

How to use NicQuick-Oral Cotinine Test

Saliva drug test kits are designed to provide fast, accurate, and non-invasive drug screening. Here's a general guide on how to use them:

Prepare the Donor: Ensure the donor hasn’t eaten, drunk, or chewed gum for 10 minutes. Confirm identity and check the expiration date on the device pouch.

Begin Sample Collection: Remove pad by holding the handle—avoid touching the pad itself. Place pad under tongue (white side up) and rub gently along gum line.

Wait for Indicator: Hold pad in place until the volume adequacy indicator turns blue. This typically takes 3–4 minutes; do not exceed 15 minutes.

Transfer the Sample: Open specimen vial carefully and insert pad fully into the vial. Snap wand against vial edge and screw cap on tightly to seal.

Seal and Label: Apply tamper-evident seal across the cap and down the sides. Donor must date and initial the seal for verification.
