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 tissue or cell culture 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+ stabilizing reagent
- NADH stabilizing reagent
- NAD+ standard stock
