About Nicotine Metabolite Screen, Blood in Anaheim
This screen focuses on the chemical byproducts that the body produces after nicotine enters the bloodstream.
When nicotine is introduced into the body, the liver converts it into several metabolites, most notably cotinine. A blood-based nicotine metabolite screen typically measures cotinine, and sometimes other related compounds, to provide an objective indication of nicotine exposure.
Because nicotine itself has a relatively short half-life, testing for its metabolites offers a more reliable window for detection. Cotinine persists longer in the bloodstream, making it a useful marker for recent use or exposure over the preceding days.
The test involves a standard blood draw performed by a trained phlebotomist. Results are generally available within a few business days, and preparation instructions should be followed as provided by the laboratory performing the analysis.
