NAD+ · Sourcing & COA
Sourcing & COA
Where a research material comes from, and what documentation accompanies it, determines whether results built on it are reproducible. This reference explains what a certificate of analysis (COA) documents for NAD+ and what to look for when sourcing research compounds. It concerns research-material quality, not any human or animal use. For research use only. Not for human consumption, diagnostic, or therapeutic use.
What a certificate of analysis contains
A COA is the batch-level record of a material's analytical characterization. For NAD+, a complete COA documents its identity, measured purity (≥98% (HPLC verified)), the methods used to establish both, and batch/lot identifiers so the specific material can be traced.
- Identity
- Confirmed (CAS 53-84-9)
- Purity
- ≥98% (HPLC verified)
- Methods
- HPLC + LC-MS
- Traceability
- Batch / lot number
Why third-party testing matters
Independent, third-party testing removes the conflict of interest in a supplier assessing its own product. It is what lets a research group trust that the NAD+ in a vial matches what the label claims.
Blueprint Labs supplies NAD+ as a third-party-tested research material with a COA available for the batch.
What to look for in a supplier
When sourcing research compounds, look for: a batch-specific COA (not a generic one), stated analytical methods, transparent purity figures, and clear research-use-only framing. Vague or missing documentation is a reproducibility risk.
Good sourcing is part of good experimental design. For research use only. Not for human consumption, diagnostic, or therapeutic use.

Questions, answered
Is a COA available for NAD+?
Yes. Blueprint Labs supplies NAD+ as a third-party-tested research material with a certificate of analysis available for the batch.
What does a COA for NAD+ document?
Its identity, measured purity (≥98% (HPLC verified)), the HPLC/LC-MS methods used, and batch/lot identifiers for traceability.
Why does third-party testing matter?
It provides independent confirmation that the material matches its label, which is essential for reproducible research.
Does a COA mean NAD+ is approved for people?
No. A COA documents analytical quality for a research material. For research use only. Not for human consumption, diagnostic, or therapeutic use.
