Q40 NAD+ & NADH Blood Kit (RUO)

https://shop.nadmed.com/web/image/product.template/5/image_1920?unique=67f44db
Catalog name: Q-NAD Blood NAD+ and NADH Assay kit 

RUO Quantitative 40-sample Assay Kit for Whole Blood

Highly accurate and sensitive
  • Quantitation limit is 330 nM for NAD+ and 119 nM NADH in whole blood measured in two 96-well plate assays.
Easy to handle
  • One step metabolite extraction is followed by separate measurement of NAD+ and NADH in the extract. 
  • Detection time is less than 10 minutes.
Higher throughput
  • Can be easily adopted into higher-throughput 96-well plate assay to analyze hundreds of samples per day.


Notice: By placing an order for assay kits, you acknowledge that the kit requires standard laboratory equipment (See Kit Requirements specified below). Orders are non-returnable if the necessary equipment is not available in your laboratory (See Terms and Conditions for more information).

Kit Requirements

  • Multi-channel pipets
  • Two clear-bottom 96-well plates suitable for colorimetric assays
  • Heat block with adjustable temperature (up to 80°C)
  • Spectrophotometric plate reader

Principles

The principle of the assay is a cyclic enzymatic reaction with a colorimetric end-point detection. First, NAD+ and NADH metabolites are extracted together from a blood sample in a single step. Then the extract is divided into two parts revealing both NAD+ and NADH concentrations by removing one metabolite and stabilizing the other.

Provided Reagents

  • EXTRACTION BUFFER A
  • NAD+ STABILIZER
  • NADH STABILIZER
  • NAD+ STANDARD STOCK
  • NADH STANDARD STOCK
  • ASSAY BUFFER C
  • ASSAY COLOR REAGENT
  • NAD ENZYME
  • STOP SOLUTION
  • POSITIVE CONTROL
  • DEIONIZED WATER

Storage

If you are storing the kits for more than one month, place them in a freezer set to -80°C. If you plan to run the assay within four weeks, the kits may be stored at stable -20°C.

Precautions and Warnings

  • For research use only by trained personnel.
  • The STOP SOLUTION may cause skin, eye, and respiratory irritation. Avoid breathing in fumes.
  • ASSAY COLOR REAGENT may cause skin irritation. Handle with care, use gloves.
  • EXTRACTION BUFFER A can cause eye irritation. Handle with care, use goggles.
