Quality Documentation

A batch-specific Certificate of Analysis and applicable analytical documentation should be available for each lot. Verify compound identity, oxidized-state specification, purity, molecular weight, hydration status, formulation details, and batch information against the records supplied with the individual product.

The molecular formula and molecular weight listed above correspond to anhydrous β-NAD. Commercial NAD+ is frequently supplied as a hydrate, represented as C₂₁H₂₇N₇O₁₄P₂·xH₂O. In such preparations, water content can vary while the reported anhydrous molecular weight remains approximately 663.43 g/mol.

NAD+ should also be distinguished from NADH, NADP+, NAD salts, and other nucleotide derivatives because these are chemically distinct materials with different molecular specifications.
