NAD+500
Laboratory-grade research compound, prepared and packaged under controlled conditions. Not for human or animal consumption. For in vitro research use only.
Research Material Overview
NAD+ (β-nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is a ubiquitous cellular coenzyme that functions as an electron carrier in redox reactions central to cellular energy metabolism. Beyond its redox role, NAD+ serves as a substrate for enzymes including sirtuins, poly(ADP-ribose) polymerases, and CD38, which are studied in models of cellular metabolism and aging. CloudComps supplies NAD+ as a research-grade material for in vitro and laboratory investigation only.
Physical Description
Supplied as a white to off-white powder in a sealed glass vial. The material is hygroscopic and light-sensitive; protect from moisture and prolonged light exposure. Dissolve in an appropriate sterile, research-grade solvent prior to in vitro use.

Purity & Testing Information
Reported purity of ≥ 99% is determined by analytical methods specified on the lot-specific Certificate of Analysis, which may include chromatographic and spectroscopic techniques. As a coenzyme rather than a peptide, the analytical approach and documentation differ from peptide COAs. Researchers should review the complete documentation for the methods and conditions applied.
Available Documentation
- Lot-specific Certificate of Analysis (COA)
- Chromatographic purity data
- Spectroscopic identification
- Solubility and handling guidance
- Storage documentation
Storage Information
Store at -20°C in the original sealed container, protected from light and moisture. NAD+ is hygroscopic and light-sensitive; minimize exposure. Prepare working solutions fresh where possible and store at 2-8°C for short-term use. Stability under specific experimental conditions should be validated by the researcher.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between NAD+ and NADH?
NAD+ is the oxidized form of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, while NADH is the reduced form that carries electrons. The two interconvert in cellular redox reactions, and research interest often concerns the balance between them.
Why is this material light- and moisture-sensitive?
As a dinucleotide coenzyme, NAD+ can degrade under exposure to moisture and prolonged light. Storing the material at -20°C in a sealed, protected container helps preserve its integrity for laboratory use.
Is NAD+ intended for human use?
No. The material supplied by CloudComps is for in vitro laboratory and scientific research only and is not for human or veterinary consumption.
