I suspect that you are going to have to be more specific regarding the
subject matter and the experimental design so that those with the
requisite expertise could comment.

If this is looking at a continuous measure (ie. instrumentation
measurements), you could look at Bland-Altman methods. More information

Otherwise, given that Google returns almost a million hits with the
phrase "reproducibility of experiment"...
