NAD+ (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide)

Axon Biolabs offers high-purity NAD+ coenzyme standard reagents ($\beta\text{-NAD}^+$ / $\beta$-Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide) for biochemical laboratories conducting cellular bioenergetics and enzymatic research. Specifically, NAD+ represents an essential metabolic coenzyme that functions as a critical electron acceptor in glycolysis and the citric acid cycle. Furthermore, it serves as an indispensable substrate for sirtuins and poly(ADP-ribose) polymerases (PARPs).

This analytical-grade NAD+ coenzyme standard powder allows researchers to quantify enzymatic reaction rates and cofactor depletion dynamics in vitro. Additionally, scientists investigating cellular metabolic stress pathways often evaluate NAD+ alongside mitochondrial signaling peptides such as our MOTS-c mitochondrial peptide standard. As a result, research teams can effectively benchmark cellular energy flux alongside dermal standards like our GHK-Cu copper tripeptide.

Technical Specifications

• Chemical Name: $\beta$-Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide ($\text{NAD}^+$, Oxidized Form)

• CAS Registry Number: 53-84-9

• Molecular Formula: C21H27N7O14P2

• Molecular Weight: 663.43 g/mol

• Purity: ≥98.0% (Enzymatic Assay & HPLC)

Laboratory Handling & Storage

Because NAD+ powder exhibits high hygroscopicity, store vials tightly sealed at -20°C in a desiccated freezer. Furthermore, technicians must allow the container to reach room temperature before unsealing. This crucial step prevents rapid ambient moisture condensation from degrading the material. Therefore, personnel should prepare fresh aqueous stock solutions immediately before performing enzymatic microplate assays.

Quality Assurance

Our quality control team tests each production lot using UV spectrophotometry ($A_{260}/A_{340}$ ratio testing) and HPLC to ensure exceptional chemical purity. Specifically, specialists cross-reference pathway references with the KEGG Compound Database. Therefore, research teams can easily access complete batch documentation cataloged in our laboratory index.

Statutory Compliance Disclaimer

We supply this reagent strictly for in vitro laboratory analysis, enzymatic calibration, and academic research. Consequently, regulatory guidelines strictly prohibit its use as a dietary supplement or drug, and personnel must never administer it to humans or animals.
