Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) is a well‐known analytical technique for the analysis of complex mixtures. Its quantitative capability makes it ideally suited to metabolomics or lipidomics studies involving large sample collections of complex biological samples. To overcome the ubiquitous limitation of spectral overcrowding when recording 1D NMR spectra on such samples, the acquisition of 2D NMR spectra allows a better separation between overlapped resonances while yielding accurate quantitative data when appropriate analytical protocols are implemented. Moreover, the experiment duration can be considerably reduced by applying fast acquisition methods. Here, we describe the general workflow to acquire fast quantitative 2D NMR spectra in the “omics” context. It is illustrated on three representative and complementary experiments: UF COSY, ZF‐TOCSY with nonuniform sampling, and HSQC with nonuniform sampling. After giving some details and recommendations on how to apply this protocol, its implementation in the case of targeted and untargeted metabolomics/lipidomics studies is described.
