The columns of proportion of reproducible metabolites per sample pair \(>70/80/90\%\) indicate that proportion of sample pairs of replicate experiments with reproducible metabolites per sample pair greater than \(70/80/90\%\). The columns of proportion of reproducible sample pairs per metabolite \(>70/80/90\%\) indicate that proportion of metabolites with reproducible sample pairs per metabolite greater than \(>70/80/90\%\)
