One of the big issues currently faced throughout the world is a rise in non-communicable diseases, such as obesity, type 2 diabetes, coronary heart disease and cancer. These diseases are all linked to the way we choose to live our lives, with one of the biggest factors being what we choose to eat. An unhealthy diet has been highlighted as a major factor in the vast majority of these diseases.

Accurately monitoring what people eat in their home environment with tools currently available is not possible. Current dietary monitoring methods have a misreporting rate of greater than 50%.

Watch this webinar to learn about the development of a metabolite profiling methodology that enables the accurate tracking of dietary intake which has implications for individual advice and monitoring of populations.

Join Dr. Isabel Garcia-Perez, Lecturer in Precision & Systems Medicine at Imperial College London, Professor Gary Frost, Chair of Nutrition and Dietetics at Imperial College London and Professor Elaine Holmes, Premier's Fellow in Molecular Phenomics at Murdoch University, as they explore dietary behavior using NMR profiling and its applicability in clinical practice.

NMR and EPR SpectroscopyNuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is used to resolve the local chemical environment of atomic nuclei with spin, revealing information on molecular structure, dynamic processes and chemical reactions of organic molecules, from proteins to synthetics. Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) also known as electron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy is used to detect and quantify paramagnetic species in a sample, including free radicals as transition metal ions. By immersing the sample in a strong magnetic field, both NMR and EPR spectrometers probe the sample with either radio waves or microwaves respectively. A range of benchtop, solid-state and time domain NMR spectrometers & EPR spectrometers are available, as well as NMR tubes, NMR solvents, software, coils, and magnets.

Ongoing diabetes innovation focuses on developing better diagnostic tools, treatments, and preventive measures. Browse our peer-reviewed product directory to find the best diabetes diagnostic tools, compare products, check reviews, and get pricing directly from manufacturers.CardiologySpectroscopySpectroscopy is a technique that analyzes the interaction of light with matter to study molecular properties, concentrations, and structural information. Widely used in chemical, pharmaceutical, and environmental analysis, spectroscopy offers insights into molecular composition and helps identify unknown compounds. It plays a key role in quality control, research, and diagnostics. Browse our peer-reviewed product directory to compare spectroscopy tools, read reviews, and get prices directly from manufacturers.Cancer ResearchAlthough cancer is often referred to as a single condition, it actually consists of more than 100 different diseases. Microscopy, mass spectrometry, high throughput sequencing and flow cytometry are some of the most common techniques employed in cancer research labs.
