Overview

Product name
NAD/NADH Assay Kit


Assay type
Quantitative


Product overview
Assay of nicotinamide nucleotides is of continual interest in the studies of energy transforming and redox state of cells or tissues. The NAD/NADH Assay Kit provides a convenient tool for sensitive detection of the intracellular nucleotides: NADH, NAD and their ratio. The NAD Cycling Enzyme Mix in the kit specifically recognizes NADH/NAD in an enzyme cycling reaction. There is no requirement to purify NADH/NAD from samples. The reaction specifically detects NADH and NAD, but not NADP nor NADPH. The enzyme cycling reaction significantly increases the detection sensitivity and specificity. NADt (NAD and NADH) or NADH can be easily quantified by comparing with standard NADH.


Notes
NADH is a sensitive molecule and can easily be used by different enzymes so it is recommended not to leave the lysates longer. The Cell/ tissue extract should also be kept cold. To avoid interference from other enzymes we recommend deproteinate the samples immediately upon harvesting using 10kD spin column (ab93349).
