Research FAQ
How should NAD⁺ be stored?
Store lyophilized powder at 2–8°C for short-term use. For long-term storage, keep at -20°C. Protect from light, heat, and moisture.
What is the recommended reconstitution procedure?
- Solvent: Sterile Water or buffer solution (e.g., PBS)
- Standard Dilution: Add appropriate volume based on experimental concentration requirements
- Handling: Gently add solvent and swirl until fully dissolved. Avoid vigorous agitation.
What distinguishes NAD⁺ from NADH in research?
NAD⁺ is the oxidized form, while NADH is the reduced form. Research often focuses on their interconversion in metabolic and energy-producing pathways.
