Nat Methods 12 (2015), 1091–1097 The study presents a high-throughput approach for real time metabolite concentrations in various cell types. The achieved temporal resolution allows for the clear detection of intracellular dynamics, the data is therefore perfectly suited for kinetic modeling and model calibration.
