Essential Laboratory Reagents & Controls
Bacteriostatic Water
Use: Reconstitution of multi-use compounds.
Properties: Sterile water containing 0.9% benzyl alcohol. The alcohol acts as a preservative to inhibit microbial growth, allowing for repeated withdrawals from a single vial.
NAD+ (Oxidized Form)
Research Role: Vital coenzyme for redox reactions. In the lab, it is added to reagents to study mitochondrial electron transport and sirtuin (longevity gene) activation.
Glutathione (GSH)
Research Role: The master antioxidant. Used as a control standard in assays measuring oxidative stress and reactive oxygen species (ROS) neutralization.
General Handling Note for Researchers: All compounds are supplied as lyophilized powder to ensure maximum stability during transit. These products are strictly for in vitro and laboratory research use only.
