Comes as a white powder that’s water soluble, so you can reconstitute it directly for cellular metabolism work—we typically see it used in anti-aging studies, though it's not suited for anything outside research. It's 99% pure or better, which matters because trace contaminants can skew dose-response data in your assays. CAS is 53-84-9, MW 663.43, and we keep it at -20°C in dry storage to maintain stability.

Most buyers go with this for NAD+ depletion experiments or mitochondrial function assays, but we've also had labs use it for NAD+ precursor comparison studies. It’s better than reagent-grade alternatives here because the purity is consistent across batches (roughly 99.2-99.4% in recent COAs). GMP and ISO 9001 cerification covers production, not just the final product.

You’ll need to confirm lead time if ordering more than 50 units or so—we usually have stock, but custom packging requests can add 2-4 weeks. Actually, one thing buyers don’t think to ask: the powder can clump if exposed to humidity, so reseal imediately after use. Left at room tempearture for over a week, and you’ll see reduced stability.

Also, the molecular weight checks out at 663.43 g/mol, but solubility varies with pH—basic buffers dissolve it faster. We don’t include a TDS with every gram, but COAs are available per batch. Basically, if you’re working with NAD+ salvage pathways, this is what you need.
