Greetings!

Welcome to the August edition of our Discover More
newsletter.
Chenomx Looks Better Than Ever!
In case you missed it, we recently launched a new website loaded with information about our software and services.  Click here to check it out!

If you want to benefit from our powerful metabolic profiling technology, but don't know where to start, we now offer a free consultation and introductory research study package.

Your study needs are unique and may require custom NMR metabolomics support. Our full service capabilities include:
  • Metabolomics Laboratory: Chenomx has expertise in preparing a broad range of sample types for NMR experiments.
  • NMR Data Acquisition: Chenomx uses state-of-the-art NMR spectrometers for its metabolomics work, ranging in field strength from 500 to 800 MHz.
  • Targeted Profiling Service: Chenomx has years of experience analyzing data from challenging and novel metabolomics experiments - make use of our expertise and have us identify and quantify metabolites in your NMR spectra.
  • 2D NMR Analysis: Chenomx can provide more rigorous approaches to biomarker qualification. 2D NMR provides independent support for identifications made using 1D NMR.
  • Statistical Analysis: Chenomx can provide statistical analysis of data sets using the latest multivariate statistical techniques.
Don't forget, we also launched our newest 6.0 version of Chenomx NMR Suite last month. Enjoy the power and confidence that comes with pH sensitive compound signatures, better line shape modeling, unrestricted cluster transforms and a new high-performance database system. Read more about specific improvements by clicking here.

Publications Using Chenomx NMR Suite 
http://chenomx.com/publications/index.htmlIn the May 2009 issue of Proceedings of the Royal Society, there was a new study published by Swire et al. entitled The cellular geometry of growth drives the amino acid economy of Caenorhabditis elegans.  This paper used Chenomx NMR Suite to help show that a change in the cellular geometry of Caenorhabditis elegans can explain a variety of phenomena during growth.  They concluded that these relations were universal in single cells and in whole multicellular organisms that grow largely by increases in cell size, but not those that grow by cell proliferation.

If you have published any material using Chenomx NMR Suite please let us know and we'll mention it in this newsletter!

Upcoming Conferences
It's less than three weeks away! The Fifth Annual International Conference of the Metabolomics Society will be held in Chenomx's hometown of Edmonton, Alberta, Canada from August 31-September 2, 2009.

Chenomx will have several people on hand to help you learn more about our patented "Targeted Profiling" technique and how our contract services and software can help you with your research.  Our powerful technology can be used with a variety of sample types and has a broad range of applications.

For more information you can go to the Metabolomics Society website here and then click on the 2009 Metabolomics Society Conference link.
Chenomx NMR Suite 6.0 Tips
Chenomx NMR Suite When using the Profiler module in Chenomx NMR Suite 6.0, if the transform window does not allow you to move a cluster far enough to fit your spectrum, you can disable enforcement of the transform windows by clicking Edit > Enforce Transform Windows.
