Table 2 Performance comparison of pre-processing analysis using Tagfinder, XCMS and TargetSearch.

All parameters were set to default in order to obtain the maximum number of samples, but only 1025 samples were available. Times were compared using 200 samples. Before running this analysis, Tagfinder intensity threshold was set to 200 to allow the 200 samples to be imported. Time is expressed in seconds. Peak import is not necessary in XCMS and TargetSearch. RI correction is performed together with Peak extraction in TargetSearch.
