Bloodo™ NAD Test: Specifications

May 7, 2024 · 2 min read

The Basics of Our Test

The Bloodo™ NAD Test uses an advanced technique to measure your total NAD levels, which include both NAD+ and NADH. This measurement is crucial because it reflects your cellular health and energy status.

Technical Details Made Simple

Method: We use the enzymatic cyclic assay, a highly accurate method, to detect total NAD.
Suitability: This test is designed for analyzing dried blood spots, making it convenient for home use.
Precision: With a relative standard deviation (RSD) of 6.6%, our test is highly reliable.

Understanding the Numbers

Limit of Detection: We can detect NAD levels as low as 0.23 µmol/L in your blood.
Linear Range: Our test accurately measures NAD levels in the range of 5-60 µmol/L.

Easy Sample Handling

Shipping and Storage: Both the test kits and the collected samples can be shipped and stored at room temperature, simplifying the process.

Diving into the Research and Data

Calibration and Accuracy: We use a calibration curve against the NAD standard (Fig. 1) to ensure accuracy. This means we can precisely measure your NAD within the identified range.

Consistency in Testing: We’ve tested over 100 samples to ensure the test’s reproducibility (Fig. 2). Most samples showed very little difference between duplicate measurements.

Control Testing for Accuracy: We’ve rigorously tested the Bloodo™ NAD Test to ensure it exclusively measures NAD. This included tests with and without the removal of NAD from samples (Fig. 4), confirming the specificity and reliability of our method.

Additional controls were performed to confirm that the test accurately measures NAD. When a known amount of NAD was added to a blood sample, the test result increased by exactly that amount. This shows that the test works correctly and measures only NAD, without interference from other substances.

The Takeaway

The Bloodo™ NAD Test is more than just a simple health test; it’s a window into understanding your body’s cellular vitality. With proven accuracy, consistency, and ease of use, it’s a powerful tool in your health and wellness journey.
