My Experiments 
Flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) is a redox-active coenzyme essential for a wide range of enzymatic reactions, particularly those involved in electron transfer and oxidative metabolism. Supplied by Thermo Scientific Chemicals at ≥94% purity (dry basis) with <10% water content (Karl Fischer), this disodium salt hydrate is suitable for biochemical, molecular, and enzymatic assays.
FAD acts as a prosthetic group for flavoproteins, serving as an electron carrier in key metabolic complexes such as succinate dehydrogenase, α-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase, and components of the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex.
Key Features
- High-purity FAD (≥94% dry wt.) with consistent activity
- Supplied as a free-flowing yellow powder
- Functions as an electron carrier in a wide range of redox enzymatic systems
- Water content controlled at <10% (K.F. titration)
- Soluble in water at concentrations up to 50 mg/mL
- Used in oxidoreductase assays, mitochondrial studies, and flavoprotein biochemistry
- Research Use Only (RUO) – not for clinical or diagnostic use
