Chenomx NMR Suite

Chenomx NMR Suite is a commercial software package developed by Chenomx Inc., used extensively in metabolomics for processing, identifying, and quantifying metabolites in NMR spectra. It integrates spectral processing tools with proprietary reference libraries to provide high-precision results in a streamlined workflow (Chenomx Official).

Core Features & Capabilities

  • Integrated Workflow Modules โ€” Combines Processor, Profiler, Compound Builder, and Spin Simulator into one suite (SpinCore).
  • Reference Library โ€” Includes spectral references for 400 MHz to 800 MHz field strengths, pH range 4โ€“9.
  • Automatic Deconvolution โ€” Separates overlapping signals and enables precise concentration measurements.

Processing Workflow & Modules

  1. Processor Module โ€” Imports multiple spectrum formats (Bruker, Agilent, JEOL, JCAMP-DX, NMRPipe, MNova) and performs baseline correction, phase correction, and calibration (User Guide).
  2. Profiler Module โ€” Fits spectra against reference libraries with tools like Compound Snapper and batch fitting.
  3. Compound Builder & Spin Simulator โ€” Allows creation of new compound signatures and simulation of spin systems.

Installation & Licensing

Runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux (64-bit) using JavaFX. Evaluation versions are available with limited save features; full versions require a license key (.cnxlic file).

Training & Tutorials

Includes detailed manuals for multiple versions and a guided tutorial with sample files (Manualzz).

Scientific Applications

Chenomx is cited in peer-reviewed research for metabolite identification and quantification โ€” for example, NMR-based profiling of biological samples using Suite v8.2 (ScienceDirect).

"In addition to biological metabolomics, NMR techniques are also applied to study the chemical structure and curing behavior of epoxy resins in material science."
