FIGURE 8.

Panel A shows a heatmap of Pearson correlation coefficients for three positive quality control samples, with high correlations ranging from 0.986 to 1. Panel B presents a principal components analysis plot displaying groupings of samples by class along PC1 and PC2 axes, highlighted with colored ellipses. Panel C features a pie chart depicting percentage distributions of chemical classes in Class I, with lipids and lipid-like molecules being the most abundant at 39.01 percent. Panel D illustrates another pie chart for an unnamed group, also dominated by lipids and lipid-like molecules at 32.57 percent, followed by organic acids and derivatives at 21.38 percent.
