Reproduction of experiments generally comes after publication, not before acceptance. Reviewers of a paper would review the analysis of the data, and whether the conclusions are reasonable given the data, but no one would expect a reviewer to replicate a chemical experiment, or the biopsy of some mice, or re-do a sociological survey or repeat observation of some astronomy phenomenon, or any other experimental setup.
Reviewers work from an assumption that the data is valid, and reproduction (or failed reproduction) of a paper happens as part of the scientific discourse after the paper is accepted and published.
