Q40 NAD+ & NADH Tissue / Cell Kit (RUO)

https://shop.nadmed.com/web/image/product.template/1149/image_1920?unique=728f1d3
RUO Quantitative Assay Kit for Tissues and Cells

  • Highly accurate and sensitive
  • 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 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

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.
  • BUFFER A can cause eye irritation. Handle with care, use goggles.
