We've been getting requests for this one a lot lately, and I finally put through an order for the NAD+ powder—the beta nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide form, CAS 53-84-9, which is what most labs working on aging or metabolism studies actually want.
It's a white crystalline powder, ≥99% purity by HPLC, and it's highly soluble in water—basically dissolves right in, which saves time when you're prepping solutions for cellular assays or neuroprotection models. The molecular weight is 663.4 g/mol, and the pH of a 1% solution runs 2.0 to 5.0, so you'll want to buffer it depending on your experiment. Heavy metals are ≤10 ppm, microbial limits ≤1000 cfu/g, nothing unusual for this grade. Storage is at -20°C protected form light, and we usually have stock, but confirm lead time if you need more than 50 grams or so—bulk can add 2-3 weeks.
One thing that came up in our last call is that it's not suited for in vivo work unless you've got specific protocols for that—this is strictly research grade, pharmagrade peptides for cellular metabolism studies, not for human or animal use. The COA covers all teh key specs, and we can provide it with each batch.
Most buyers go with the 5-gram or 10-gram quantities for initial trials, then scale up once they've confirmed the results. The powder handles well—it's not hygroscopic like some other nucleotides, which is a detail you'd only notice after opening a few vials. Also, EINECS number is 200-184-4 if your compliance team needs it for customs.
Anyway, lead time for standdard orders is roughly 7-10 business days, but for anything over 100 grams, expect 20 days or so depending on the batch schedule. Bulk pricing kicks in around 500 grams, and we can negotiate if you're committing to regular orders.
We typically require a 10-gram MOQ for this pharmagrade peptide to ensure proper handling and cold-chain logistics. Smaller trial quantities may be available upon request.
Lead time is usually 5-7 business days after order confirmation, depending on stock levels. If we need to produce a fresh batch, it could take up to 14 days.
Absolutely—each batch comes with a COA verifying ≥99% purity and heavy metals ≤10 ppm. We can also share HPLC and microbial test results on request.
Store it at -20°C, protected from light, in a sealed container. Under those conditions, it stays stable for at least 24 months.
Yes, it's pharmagrade and tested for low endotoxins, so it's fine for in vivo studies. We can customize packaging—like 5g vials or 50g bags—just let us know your needs.
