Description

Description: Salimetrics salivary assay kits are expertly designed, developed and validated to ensure accuracy in saliva and proven to deliver precision results for saliva biomarkers.The Salimetrics Salivary Cotinine Enzyme Kit is a competitive immunoassay designed and validated for the quantitative measurement of cotinine in saliva samples. This kit may be used to measure primary or secondhand exposure to nicotine. The detection of exposure to tobacco smoke by measurement of cotinine is the preferred method, as nicotine is not considered a valid marker of smoking status due to its relatively short half-life. Salimetrics has designed this quantitative research tool to provide biomedical researchers with a highly sensitive means to quantify differences in inter-individual cotinine level. These differences include factors related to intrinsic and extrinsic predispositions that affect the physiology of nicotine metabolism, the dose of nicotine present in the cigarette (or alternative source), and health behaviors relevant to how cigarettes are smoked (e.g., vent blocking, duration and frequency of puffs).
