Heat map displaying hierarchical clustering analysis (HCA) analysis for relative abundance data for (A) 2D-GC/ToF-MS and (B) 1D-GC/Orbitrap-MS quantified metabolites. Both platforms were capable of clustering the independent technical-runs/replicates together while retaining the biological replicates separate. Furthermore, the discriminatory metabolites (amino acids, and fatty acids) are common to both platforms in addition to unique metabolites captured by each of the platforms.
