NICOTINE & METABOLITES; URINE

The NICOTINE & METABOLITES; URINE test is an at‑home urine assay that detects nicotine and its primary breakdown products to determine recent tobacco or nicotine product use. The sample is collected discreetly at home and analysed in a UAE‑based laboratory using sensitive methods (immunoassay screening with confirmatory LC‑MS/MS where applicable) to provide objective evidence of nicotine exposure.

This test is useful for monitoring smoking cessation programs, pre‑employment or insurance screening, workplace compliance, and clinical assessment of nicotine exposure including passive secondhand exposure. Results are returned quickly for Dubai residents through the local laboratory network, and any abnormal or unexpected findings should be reviewed with a healthcare professional for interpretation and next steps.
