Ranges
Each lab publishes a reference range for the population groups it tests, usually the middle 95% of results. These intervals describe that population, not an optimal or healthy target. How ranges differ
Quest Diagnostics, Drug Toxicology Nicotine, with Confirmation, Oral Fluid 93986
| Population | Interval |
|---|---|
| Nicotine Metabolite | <5.0 ng/mL |
| Cotinine | <5.0 ng/mL |
Tests
Check the catalog code, specimen, method and preparation for every test that measures Cotinine, Oral Fluid, Saliva (oral fluid). Select up to five tests to compare them side by side.

Drug Toxicology Nicotine, with Confirmation, Oral Fluid 93986
1 mL oral fluid inserted into 3 mL buffer tube collected in Quantisal™ device · Fasting not stated · Turnaround Set up: Daily
Quest Diagnostics catalog pageMethod and collection
- Method
- Mass Spectrometry (MS)
- Preparation
- Quantisal™: Avoid any food or drink consumption, or gum or tobacco use for 10 minutes prior to collecting. If donor's mouth is not empty immediately prior to collection, have subject rinse mouth with water (up to 4 oz) and wait a minimum of 10 minutes before collecting a specimen.
- Collection
- Quantisal™: Using the standard Quantisal™ collection container, place the swab under the tongue. Donor should keep head down to allow gravity to help with saliva collection. Leave in place until blue dye indicates that the collection pad is saturated sufficiently. Follow collection instructions on package.

Cotinine Screen, Oral Fluid 770411
Saliva · Fasting not stated · Turnaround 3 - 5 days
Labcorp catalog pageMethod and collection
- Method
- Immunoassay (IA)
- Preparation
- Clear mouth of any foreign material
- Collection
- An oral fluid specimen is collected by placing a cellulose pad affixed to a polypropylene stem (collector) under the tongue of an individual until a defined volume of saliva has saturated the cellulose pad. The defined volume taken up by the cellulose pad is indicated by coloration (blue) in a window on the stem (volume adequacy).

Verify these ranges and sources
We compile this page from named laboratory catalogs, guidelines and studies. Labs calculate reference intervals from the people they test, for one assay method and one population group, so an interval describes that population rather than an optimal target.
