Reviewer 2 Report
Dear sirs,
the work is interesting, yet it's not particularly innovative.
I found minor spell errors in writing formulas (rows 77-79) Please use subscript for the numbers in formulas.
I found a principal issue on Figure 2 and then a methodological/conceptual explanation is required.
I would kindly ask why the regression line do not pass through the origin of the axes.
If you autozeroed the instrument with the blank reaction, then 0 abs = 0 concentration.
That implies the discussion and part of results should be modified. please explain.
Thank you
