How to choose appropriate NADP/NADPH Assay Kit?
NADP (coenzyme II) is the coenzyme of many redox reactions, including NADP+ (oxidation type) and NADPH (reduction type). NADP+ is also involved in biosynthesis reactions, such as lipid and nucleic acid synthesis. In animal cells, the oxidation stage of pentose phosphate pathway (PPP) is the main source of NADPH.
In this article, for NADP/NADPH Assay Kit, the author chose different brands (BioAssay Systems, Abcam, Biovision) and compared them with Abbkine CheKine™NADP/NADPH Assay Kit (Cat#: KTB1010) from several aspects such as assay principle, detection, sample type and size/price.
Summary:
These brands are the similar in Assay Principle, Detection and Sample type. Prices are different. The price of Abbkine NADP/NADPH Assay Kit (Cat#: KTB1010) is the lowest.
Besides good price, Abbkine NADP/NADPH Assay Kit (Cat#: KTB1010) has other advantages. The detection limit of Abbkine NADP/NADPH Assay Kit is 0.1 µM and linearity up to 4 µM NADP+/NADPH in 96-well plate assay.
Details of different brands for NADP/NADPH Assay Kit are as follows,
| Brand | Assay Principle | Detection | Sample type | Size/Price |
| Abbkine | The assay is based on an enzymatic cycling reaction in which NADP+ is reduced to NADPH. NADPH reacts with a colorimetric probe that produces a colored product which can be measured at 565 nm. | Detects NADP+, NADPH, or total NADP+/NADPH | Tissue Extracts, Cell Lysate | 48T/$90 96T/$150 |
| BioAssay Systems | The assay is based on an enzymatic cycling reaction in which NADP+ is reduced to NADPH. NADPH reacts with a colorimetric probe that produces a colored product which can be measured at 565 nm. | Detects NADP+, NADPH, or total NADP+/NADPH | Tissue Extracts, Cell Lysate | 100T/$379 |
| Abcam | The assay is based on an enzymatic cycling reaction in which NADP+ is reduced to NADPH. NADPH reacts with a colorimetric probe that produces a colored product which can be measured at 450 nm. | Detects NADP+, NADPH, or total NADP+/NADPH | Tissue Extracts, Cell Lysate | 100T/$615 |
| Biovision | The assay is based on an enzymatic cycling reaction in which NADP+ is reduced to NADPH. NADPH reacts with a colorimetric probe that produces a colored product which can be measured at 450 nm. | Detects NADP+, NADPH, or total NADP+/NADPH | Tissue Extracts, Cell Lysate | 100T/$535 |
