Description :
Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide (NAD) is a co-enzyme indispensible for the activity of multiple catalytic proteins. NAD+ and NADH, its reduced form, participate in many biological redox reactions. NAD+ is mostly associated with redox enzymes required for catabolic reaction and energy production. NADH/NAD Quantification Kit provides a convenient tool for a sensitive detection of NADH, NAD and their ratio. There is no requirement to purify NADH or NAD from samples. The NADH selective developer develops color while reacting with NADH and can be detected at OD 450 nm. The total NAD can be easily quantified by comparing with the provided NADH standard. The method is quantitative, rapid, simple, sensitive, and designed for high throughput format.The kit can detect as low as 0.04 pmol of NADH in a 384 well assay plate. The reaction specifically detects NADH and NAD, but not NADP nor NADPH.
