"Slightly" biased review

Metabolomics of sepsis-induced acute lung injury: a new approach for biomarkers

"... In particular, NMR is widely used for “classic” metabolic studies, because this approach has an exceptional capacity to rapidly identify and quantify multiple metabolites in biological fluids. Other approaches involving mass spectrometry are limited in their ability to identify more than a few small molecules in complex mixtures and are unable to quantify metabolites accurately."

For a review, I think this is a more than questionable statement.
