Traditionally, NMR has been perceived as a tool for structure verification, elucidation and purity analysis. However, driven by the needs of the emerging field of Metabonomics/Metabolomics, NMR has rapidly expanded in recent years into the areas of mixture analysis and screening applications. These developments were facilitated by high-throughput sample changing technology (either sample tube or flow-injection methods), integrated sample preparation, and the improved quality of digital spectrometers in general.
