Note: Shipping animal samples to the NADMED laboratory from outside the EU requires an import permit. Before shipping, please contact our laboratory at laboratory@nadmed.com and provide:

  • Sample country of origin
  • Animal species
  • Sample type

Do not ship samples before receiving confirmation from us. If our existing permit does not cover your samples, we will need to apply for a new one, which may cause a delay of up to 2 months. The import permit must be printed and attached to the document pouch on the shipment.

 

RESEARCH

 

NADMED laboratory works in collaboration with Anu Wartiovaara Suomalainen laboratory and operates in Helsinki, Finland. Besides serving clients the laboratory takes part in several research projects. NADMED also conducts its own research to improve the NADMED products to be as user-friendly as possible.

Ongoing projects:

  • Response of NAD metabolism to life-threatening conditions – NADs in intensive care patients
  • Role of NADs in cardiovascular diseases
  • Changes of NADs in pancreatic and gastric cancer
  • Effect of alcohol on NAD levels

Completed projects:

  • NAD metabolism in obesity
  • NAD metabolism in long Covid
  • NAD metabolism in non-alcoholic liver disease
  • NADs in pre-eclampsia

R&D:

  • Validation protocols for NAD+ and NADH assay kit for cells and tissues
  • Developing a way to preserve home-collected blood during shipment time
  • Improving stability of Q-NADMED kit components for storage at -20C and shipment at ambient temperature
