A small biotech startup ordering for a pilot study on mitochondrial function might only need a single 500mg vial at roughly $85-120, but if you're running a multi-month aging intervention trial across 200 cell cultures, teh per-gram cost drops significantly once you hit the 5-gram mark or so.
We're working with a white crystalline powder that's ≥99% by HPLC, CAS 53-84-9, molecular weight 663.43 g/mol, and it's fully soluble in water—which matters because you don't want solubility headaches when you're reconstituting it for cell culture media at precise nM concentrations.
Basically, it's used for cellular metabolism studies, aging research, and biochemical assays where you need a clean NAD+ standard. One limitation we'll note: it's not suitable to in vivo work in humans or animals, so don't use this as a dietary supplement—it's strictly for lab bench appliction like enzyme kinetics or sirtuin activation assays.
500mg or 1000mg vials are the standerd packaing, and we usually have stock on the 1g size ready to ship within 2-3 business days, but confirm lead time for larger bulk orders.
Most buyers go with the 1g vial for flexibility (you can aliquot it into smaller working stocks) rather than buying multiple 500mg units, which adds handling cost anyway.
Orders over 10g get a custom quote with a tighter margin, so email us for that—we don't list the bulk tier publicly.
