Would knowing the specific metabolites and the changes in their respective concentrations between samples help you draw better conclusions?  Do you need to have a better understanding of the underlying biology of your research?  If so, Chenomx not only offers patented NMR software, but also provides efficient, cost-effective, and timely outsourcing services.  You don't even need access to NMR instruments...we can take care of that too.  Our flexible services offer varying levels of involvement including project design, sample preparation, NMR data acquisition, "Targeted Profiling" analysis, and statistical analysis.  We can work with a wide variety of sample types (including urine, serum, plasma, saliva, cell extracts, CSF, and more) and have years of experience applying our patented Chenomx NMR Suite technology
platform to a broad range of metabolic profiling experiments.  Our technology is ideal because it is non-selective, fully quantitative, non-destructive, and the results are reproducible both within and across labs.  This also makes it a perfect choice for multi-lab collaborations and long term studies.

The process is simple: you send us your samples and we send you back a comprehensive report of all the metabolites we can identify in your samples along with their respective concentrations.  The report also includes various graphical representations of your data so that you can easily visualize the changes between your samples and search for patterns.  We can go even further by performing statistical and metabolic pathway analysis on your results.  Our highly
trained scientists will work with you to interpret your data and ensure satisfaction.  Rest assured, full confidentiality is maintained throughout and after the project.

More and more researchers are benefiting from the patented Chenomx technology and gaining a better understanding of their samples in a wide variety of areas - including disease marker pattern discovery and pharmaceutical safety research among many others (to read some testimonials from users of our patented technology click here).  You will be surprised at how cost-effective it is too!

If you want to learn more about how we can help you with
your research please contact us.  Also, if you know others
who might be interested in our software or services, we
would sincerely appreciate if you forward this newsletter
to them!

Dr. Mark Viant, from the University of Birmingham, sent us a couple of 2007 papers in which his research group used Chenomx NMR Suite. 

The first paper compares metabolic fingerprints of adductor muscle and mantle from four groups of Mytilus galloprovincialis.  It is titled Direct sampling of organisms from the field and knowledge of their phenotype: key recommendations for environmental metabolomics.

The abstract for the second paper, High-throughput tissue extraction protocol for NMR- and MS-based metabolomics, can be found here.

Thanks very much to Dr. Viant for sending these papers and allowing us to put them in our newsletter. If you have published any material using Chenomx NMR Suite please let us know and we'll mention it in this newsletter!

When using the Profiler module in Chenomx NMR Suite 5.1, some sections in the Reference Panel are collapsed by default, including Alternate Names and Alternate CAS Registry. To expand them, click the + symbol next to the section name. Click the - symbol to collapse the section again.

Chewing on gum while cutting onions can help prevent watering eyes. Rinsing the onion and leaving it wet while chopping can also be effective.  Try it next time you chop onions!
