The NAD cycling enzyme mix in the kit specifically acts on NADH/NAD in an enzyme cycling reaction which significantly increases sensitivity and specificity. There is no requirement to purify NADH/NAD from samples.
The levels of both NADt (total NAD+ and NADH) and NADH can be easily measured; the level of NAD+ can be easily calculated by subtracting NADH from NADt. The assay is read by absorbance at 450 nm.
NAD / NADH assay protocol summary:
- extract samples from cells / tissues with extraction buffer and deproteinize with spin column
- for NADH measurement, heat samples to 60°C for 30 min to decompose NAD+, cool on ice (this step not necessary for measurement of total NAD+/NADH)
- add samples and standards to wells
- add reaction mix and incubate for 5 min at room temp to convert NAD to NADH
- add NADH developer and incubate for 1-4 hrs while reaction cycles
- analyze with microplate reader multiple times during the 1-4 hr incubation
- reaction can be stopped with stop solution.
This assay specifically detects NAD and NADH, but not NADP nor NADPH. If you would like to use a fluorometric reading, please refer to NAD/NADH Assay Kit (Fluorometric) (ab176723). NAD/NADH Assay kit ab221821 uses an alternative assay method that relies on purification of NAD and NADH from samples and may be more sensitive in some samples.
