As we head into the final days of 2008, we all are kept busy with holiday errands, social gatherings, and tying up loose ends before we take some time to relax.  So, at this time, all of us at Chenomx would like to take this opportunity to extend our best wishes for a happy and safe holiday season and a prosperous 2009 to all of you. 

We thank you for your continued support and interest in our metabolic profiling software and services.  If any of you still have some money remaining in your 2008 budgets and are interested in purchasing a license of Chenomx NMR Suite before December 31, 2008, then you will be pleased to know we are still offering our year-end upgrade sale special.  Please contact us or see the box at the bottom of this page for details. Hurry though, there are only three weeks left!

Once again, happy holidays to everyone!

The new publications using Chenomx NMR Suite just keep coming!  Here are two more you should find interesting.

The first is a fish cancer study, entitled "Metabolic Changes in Flatfish Hepatic Tumours Revealed by NMR-Based Metabolomics and Metabolic Correlation Networks", done by Southam et al. and published in the Journal of Proteome Research. To see the abstract and sign-in to read the paper click here.

The second publication, entitled "Metabolite profiling of the intraerythrocytic malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum by 1H NMR spectroscopy", was done by Teng et al. and was published in NMR in Biomedicine. To see the abstract and sign-in to read the paper click here.

Both are excellent studies which used Chenomx NMR Suite's patented "Targeted Profiling" methodology to help identify and quantify the metabolites and monitor the changes between groups.

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 Compound Builder module in Chenomx NMR Suite 5.1, remember that generated clusters have no formal theoretical basis. They simply add a number of Lorentzian peaks that approximates the overall shape of the spectrum in the selected region. The generated peaks will not let you accurately account for significant changes in the spectrum based on magnet frequency, pH or other systematic variations.

Since many of you likely use rats in studies: Rats multiply so quickly that in 18 months, two rats could have over a million descendants. That's a big family!
