It's a precursor for NAD+ biosynthesis, so what you're really getting is a way to support the cellular machinery that handles energy metabolism and DNA repair—basically, it's the substrate your researchers need to study age-related decline in NAD+ levels, and we see it used pretty consistently in mitochondrial function assays.
The HPLC purity comes in at 99% or better, which is tighter than what you'd get form a typical supplement-grade batch, and the molecular weight is 334.22 g/mol—we usually stock 1g, 5g, and 10g packs, but the 25g and 50g options are more common for labs running longer time-course studies.
Storage is a pain point you'll want to note: it needs -20°C, dry and dark conditions, and shelf life is 24 months when stored properly—we've had buyers complain about degradation after three months at room temp, so it's not suited for ambient shelf storage at all. 4. What it does is dissolve readily in water, which makes it easy to prepare working solutions, but you'll want to confirm solubility at higher concentrations (we've seen some batches require gentle warming above 50 mg/mL). 5. Also, the COA comes with every order, and we usually have stock on teh 1g and 5g sizes (lead time is roughly 5-7 business days), but the 100g drums are a special order—check with us before assuming availability. 6. One detail a buyer might not think to ask: the powder is hygroscopic, so we recommend aliquoting imediately upon opening and purging the vial with argon if you've got it, otherwise you'll see clumping within a week or so.
We accept orders starting from 1g, so there's no strict MOQ — you can order just a gram for small-scale research.
Yes, we include a COA that confirms the ≥99% purity by HPLC, along with other specs like appearance and solubility.
Keep it at -20°C in a dry, dark place — that's crucial to prevent degradation over the full two-year period.
Absolutely, we can repack into custom gram amounts beyond the standard 1g, 5g, 10g, 25g, 50g, and 100g options.
For a 100g order, expect around 5-7 business days from order confirmation to dispatch, depending on stock.
