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.
