Chenomx NMR Suite 7.0 Released!
In case you missed it, we recently launched our newest 7.0 version of Chenomx NMR Suite. Utilize the power and speed of metabolite assignments using our new cleaner interface and visual improvements. Read more about specific improvements by clicking here.

If you want to try Chenomx NMR Suite 7.0 for FREE then you can download it by clicking here.  You no longer need a license to try our demo version, but you will not be able to save, print, or track any of your work unless you purchase a license.

If you are a Chenomx customer who currently subscribes to Support and Maintenance then you are entitled to a free upgrade to this latest version.

  • Professional and Standard Edition customers who are presently on maintenance please click here to download the newest version (you will need a new license before you can use all features in the software - your current maintenance status will be verified prior to a license being sent).

If you are a current Chenomx NMR Suite user, but do not currently subscribe to Chenomx Support and Maintenance and would like to get this latest version, you can try 7.0 for free, but need to contact us to get a quote on your renewal price for a full license.

Remember, if you want to take advantage of our valuable metabolic profiling services without purchasing an in-house license of our software, you can use our Contract Services division to send us samples for analysis.  It is easy, economical, and powerful.  Click here for more information.

Finally, we have also made a few changes to our website including an FAQ section and a history of the improvements in every past release that can be found by clicking here.
Publications Using Chenomx NMR Suite 

In the March 2010 online issue of Metabolomics, there was a study published by Alam et al. entitled 1H NMR metabonomic study of rat response to tri-phenyl phosphate and tri-butyl phosphate exposure.

This paper extensively used the patented "Targeted Profiling" technology of Chenomx NMR Suite to characterize NMR metabolite profiles of rat urine following single dose exposure to either tributyl phosphate (TBP, 15 mg/kg body weight) or triphenyl phosphate (TPP, 2 and 20 mg/kg body weight). Using the developed O-PLSDA models it was possible to clearly identify TBP or TPP exposed animals. The performance of these models was validated using cross validation and permutation testing. Utilizing the variable importance in projection (VIP) coefficients from the O-PLSDA the metabolites that were most responsible for the classification of TBP or TPP exposure were determined. This initial study demonstrates the potential for NMR metabonomic studies for the identification and separation of environmental exposure to organophosphates.

Chenomx NMR Suite 7.0 Tips
When using the Profiler module in Chenomx NMR Suite 7.0, remember you can now use the new single compound autofit feature. You can have Profiler automatically suggest a concentration and transforms for the currently selected compound, allowing you to focus your efforts on tasks like refining your overall analysis of the spectrum, or resolving overlapped compounds.

To perform an auto fit you first need to select the compound in the Compound Table. If you do not see the compound in the Compound Table, select additional compound sets or use Quick Searches to find it. Then, on the Compound menu, click Selected Compound > Fit Automatically, or right-click on the compound and select Fit Automatically from the context menu.  Presto!
