Cotinine elisa co096d

Manufactured by Calbiotech
Sourced in United States

The Cotinine ELISA CO096D is a quantitative enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kit designed to detect and measure the concentration of cotinine, a metabolite of nicotine, in various biological samples. The kit utilizes a competitive ELISA principle and provides a reliable method for the assessment of nicotine exposure.

Cotinine Measurement in Pregnant Women

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Cotinine was measured in a subsample of women with stored urine samples collected at ~27 weeks gestation. Cotinine was measured via. solid phase competitive ELISA, with a sensitivity of 1 ng/mL (Calbiotech Cotinine ELISA CO096D, Calbiotech, El Cajon, California). The limit of detection (LOD) was 0.05 ng/mL. We categorized women as either nonsmoker (cotinine < 31.5 ng/mL; the established cutpoint for active smoking18 (link)) or active smoker (≥31.5 ng/mL).

Prenatal Cotinine Exposure Assessment

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Cotinine was measured in a subsample of women with stored urine samples collected at ~ 27 weeks gestation. Cotinine was measured via solid phase competitive ELISA, with a sensitivity of 1 ng/mL (Calbiotech Cotinine ELISA CO096D). The limit of detection (LOD) was 0.05 ng/mL. The cotinine categories were defined as follows: no exposure (< LOD), exposure to secondhand smoke (≥ LOD to 550 ng/mL; the established cutpoint for active smoking [17 (link)]), and active smoking (≥ 550 ng/mL).
Self-report of active smoking and exposure to second hand smoke prenatal smoking was ascertained through questionnaires completed at ~ 27 weeks gestation. Self-report of exposure was defined as follows: no exposure (if they reported not currently smoking and no secondhand smoke exposure), exposure to secondhand smoke (if they reported not currently smoking and > 1 h/week exposure to secondhand smoke), and active smoking (if they reported current smoking).

Prenatal Tobacco Exposure Assessment

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Prenatal exposure to tobacco was assessed via urinary cotinine (major metabolite of nicotine) at ~ 27 weeks gestation. Cotinine was previously analyzed in stored urine samples via solid phase competitive ELISA with a sensitivity of 1 ng/ mL (Calbiotech Cotinine ELISA CO096D, Calbiotech, El Cajon, California). Consistent with a previous Healthy Start analysis [5] , cotinine concentrations were dichotomized as no exposure (< 0.05 ng/mL; the limit of detection [LOD]) and prenatal exposure to exposure (> LOD).

Maternal Tobacco Exposure Biomarker Assessment

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Urinary cotinine (a metabolite of nicotine and marker of tobacco exposure [15 (link)]) was measured in a subsample of study participants at ~ 27 weeks gestation. Cotinine was analyzed in stored urine samples via solid phase competitive ELISA—with a sensitivity of 1 ng/mL (Calbiotech Cotinine ELISA CO096D, Calbiotech, El Cajon, California). Following a previous Healthy Start analysis examining similar exposures, [16 (link)] cotinine concentrations were categorized as follows: no exposure (< limit of detection [LOD]); ~ 0.05 ng/mL), maternal exposure to secondhand smoke (cotinine ≥ LOD to 550 ng/mL), and active maternal smoking (≥ 550 ng/mL; an established cut-point for active smoking [17 (link)]). Very few women were active smokers (~ 6%). Therefore, cotinine was dichotomized as no exposure (< LOD; 74%) and any exposure to tobacco (≥ LOD; 26%) to maximize power in our interaction analyses.

Urine Cotinine Levels and Smoking

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Urine cotinine levels were determined using the Calbiotech Cotinine ELISA CO096D (Calbiotech, El Cajon, California, USA) and the limit of detection was 5 ng/mL. A cotinine-verified non-smoker was defined as having urinary cotinine ≤50 ng/mL. This threshold value was used as the cut-off according to the Society for Research on Nicotine and Tobacco and is consistent with being a current smoker.22 (link)

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
