Most buyers we deal with are running mitochondrial function assays or aging pathway studies, and they typically need a consistent baseline across multiple batches—so the 99% purity floor matters more than a slightly higher number that fluctuates.
Molecular weight comes in at 663.43 g/mol with a CAS of 53-84-9, and it's a white crystalline powder that dissolves readily in water or ethanol; storage at -20°C in a dry enviornment is non-negotiable for maintaining that 24-month shelf life, and we include a COA with every order (usually HPLC-verified).
You'll see this used in cellular metabolism work and neurological research, but it's actually not ideal for long-term room-temperture assays or anything requiring NADH stability above -20°C for extended periods—we've had researchers push it to 4°C for a week or so and seen degradation start around day 8.
Packging is straightforward: 1g, 5g, or 10g per vial—most labs go with the 5g option for cost efficieny—and we keep stock on hand, but confirm lead time if you need more than 10g since larger quantities sometimes run 2-3 weeks.
We typically ship from 1 gram, but if you need a custom quantity just let us know — we can flex on larger orders.
Most orders go out within 1-3 business days after payment clears. For bulk orders, we might need a few extra days, but we'll confirm upfront.
Yes, every batch comes with a COA showing ≥99% purity via HPLC. Just request it and we'll include it with your shipment.
For maximum stability and the full 24-month shelf life, -20°C in a dry environment is best. Short-term, 4°C in a desiccator works, but we don't recommend room temp.
It dissolves well in water and ethanol, but we don't state a maximum mg/mL in our spec sheet. For typical research, 10-50 mg/mL in water works fine — just test your buffer.
