You might be prepping a batch for an NAD+ assay where every point in the dose curve has to track cleanly, and that's where having the right chloride salt makes all difference—we've watched customers run these in triplicate without the drift you'd get form lower-grade stuff.
It's a white crystalline powder, 95% minimum as verified by both HPLC and UV, and it dissolves easily in water which is basically the only way you'll want to work with it for most cell-based studies.
We ship it in sealed containers under inert gas, and it's packed dense enough that a 100-gram bottle feels heavier than you'd expect (usually about 20% over teh labeled weight due to powder compaction, though that's good sign for stability).
You'll need to store it cold—2-8°C in a dry enviornment—or the shelf life drops below the typical 2 years; we usually have stock, but confirm lead time if you're ordering more than 50 units.
What it's not suited for is any real-time oral formulation work because research-grade means you're skipping excipients and purity thresholds needed for human consumption.
Anyway, that molecular weight of 663.43 g/mol means a 5mM stock in water takes about 3.3 grams per liter, so plan your buffer volumes ahead.
We typically require a 1-gram minimum for research orders, but we can discuss smaller amounts for initial validation if you contact us directly.
Yes, every shipment includes a COA showing the HPLC purity, UV assay results, and verification of the 95% minimum purity.
Properly stored in sealed containers under inert gas, it has a shelf life of 2 years from the manufacture date.
We can adjust packaging for bulk orders, like larger sealed containers or specific vial sizes, but the inert gas flush remains standard.
Yes, it's water-soluble, so you can dissolve it directly for your NAD+ research studies without needing organic solvents.
