About Nicotine Metabolite Screen, Blood in Hackensack

This screen measures breakdown products of nicotine in the bloodstream.

Nicotine is metabolized primarily into cotinine, and further into trans-3'-hydroxycotinine. The test identifies these metabolites to confirm nicotine exposure.

Because nicotine has a relatively short half-life, blood levels of the parent compound decline quickly, while cotinine persists longer. The screen targets these metabolites rather than nicotine itself.

Results are reported qualitatively or quantitatively, depending on the laboratory method. They should be interpreted by a qualified healthcare professional alongside the individual's history and other findings.
