Would it help to have Chenomx NMR Suite installed on more computers in your lab?  Having more seats can add to productivity and be convenient.  Well, we might not be an airline, but we can still have a seat sale! Until December 31, 2009, we will be offering a 40% discount off your regular list price of any additional seats of Chenomx NMR Suite.

So, if you already have a license of Chenomx NMR Suite, you can use this discount to purchase additional seats at a 40% discount off your regular list price.  If you are not already a Chenomx NMR Suite user, but were thinking of purchasing a license, then you can use this discount on any additional seats you need after your original first seat is purchased.  This means it is a great time to finally purchase an in-house license of Chenomx NMR Suite!

Buy as many seats as you like at this discounted price, but the offer expires December 31st, 2009 (hard to believe, but that is only six weeks away).  See the coupon at the bottom of this page or contact us for details.

Don't forget, we also offer contract services for anyone who does not want to purchase a license, but still wants to benefit from our patented metabolic profiling technique. Using our Introductory Research Study Package is a great place to start!

In the November 2009 issue of Metabolism, there was a study published by Boor et al. entitled Regular moderate exercise reduces advanced glycation and ameliorates early diabetic nephropathy in obese Zucker rats.

This paper used the patented "Targeted Profiling" technology of Chenomx NMR Suite to show that systemically, exercise increased aerobic metabolism in obese Zucker rats (OZR - a model of diabetes- and obesity-associated nephropathy) as apparent from urinary metabolite profiling using Chenomx NMR Suite. No differences in plasma glucose, insulin, or lipid profile were found between the 2 groups.  Exercise in OZR decreased advanced glycation. This might represent the early event of exercise-induced renoprotection in diabetic nephropathy in OZR. They concluded that, if confirmed in clinical studies, regular moderate exercise could represent an easy and effective nonpharmacologic approach to reduce advanced glycation.

Chenomx is proud to be a silver sponsor at the first International Metabolomics Symposium taking place March 10-12, 2010, in Freising-Weihenstephanin, Germany.

This informative conference will focus on new analytic methods, late-breaking discoveries, as well as challenges and pitfalls in metabolomics studies. Leading scientists will discuss the value of Metabolomics in basic science applications, in diagnostics and in nutrition and food research.  

You can register for this 2-1/2 day conference and get more information by clicking here.

When using the Processor module in Chenomx NMR Suite 6.0, remember that in spectra of aqueous samples, the water peak may be distorted relative to the rest of the spectrum; do not use the water peak to determine phasing. Instead, try to obtain smooth baseline curves to either side of the water peak.
