NAD+ Only kit

Key Features

• Highly accurate and sensitive. Quantitation limit is 330 nM for NAD+ in whole blood measured in two 96-well plate assays.
• Easy to handle. One-step metabolite extraction is followed by measurement of NAD+ in the extract. Detection time is less than 10 minutes.
• 40 samples can be measured at once or two separate times e.g. 20+20
• High throughput. Can be easily adopted into high-throughput 96-well plate assay to analyze hundreds of samples per day.

Intended Use

Q-NADMED Blood, an in-vitro diagnostic medical device, is an analytical assay kit for measurement of concentrations of NAD+ metabolite in human whole blood. The assay is quantitative. Intended users of the Q-NADMED assay kit are trained laboratory personnel.

Principals

The principle of the assay is a cyclic enzymatic reaction with a colorimetric end-point detection. First, NAD+ is extracted from a blood sample in a single step. After this, the NAD+ is stabilized and measured.

Reagents Provided   

Extraction BUFFER A, NAD+ stabilizing reagent, NAD+ standard stock, Assay BUFFER C, Assay color reagent, Enzyme, Stop solution, Positive control

Kit Requires 

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

Precautions and Warnings

For in vitro diagnostic 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 googles.
