Answer to comments on: 'Voltammetric analysis of epinephrine using glassy carbon electrode modified with nanocomposite prepared from Co-Nd bimetallic nanoparticles, alumina nanoparticles and functionalized multiwalled carbon nanotubes' by Ida Tiwari et al., (Doi: 10.1007/s11356-022-23660-y).

This is an answer to the letter by the editor that was sent in response to our previously published article entitled "Voltammetric analysis of epinephrine using glassy carbon electrode modified with nanocomposite prepared from Co-Nd bimetallic nanoparticles, alumina nanoparticles and functionalized multiwalled carbon nanotubes." We are grateful to the writers for showing an interest in our manuscript and for providing such helpful feedback. We emphasise that our research was just a preliminary investigation to detect epinephrine in different biological samples, however, in literature a link between epinephrine and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is already reported. Hence, we are agreeing to the authors that epinephrine is suggested as a cause for ARDS following anaphylaxis. It is recommended that more research be carried out to evaluate the possibility of epinephrine as a cause for ARDS and to validate the therapeutic relevance of the findings. Additionally, the purpose of our research was electrochemical sensing of epinephrine alternative to the conventional means like HPLC, fluorimetry, etc. for epinephrine detection. We have found that benefits which the electrochemical sensors have, are their simplicity, cost-effectiveness, ease of use owing to their small size, mass manufacture, and straightforward operation, as well as their extreme sensitivity and selectivity, hence the electrochemical sensing methods are more beneficial than conventional techniques for epinephrine analysis.
