Application of Electrochemical Sensors in Biomedical Diagnostics

Dear Colleagues,

The potential applications of electrochemical sensors in biochemical and biomedical diagnostics are at the forefront of other methods due to their unique characteristics, such as functional diversity, miniaturization, intelligence, low cost, point-of-care application, and high sensitivity. An important class of electrochemical biosensors is immunosensors, which can be classified based on the type of recognition elements (antibodies or aptamers). In addition, several signal amplification strategies, such as electrode surface modification, enzyme-based hybridization–digestion cycles, and nucleic acid amplification, can be used in electrochemical assays to detect trace amounts of targets.

In this Special Issue, we aim to explore recent advances in diagnostic technologies through electrochemical biosensors. We welcome manuscripts covering the following areas:

1. Exosomes and cancerous biomarkers detection using electrochemical biosensors;
2. Electrochemical biosensors for molecular diagnostics;
3. Development of electrochemical biosensors for the detection of disease-related biomarkers;
4. Nanomaterials-based signal amplification in electrochemical biosensors;
5. Enzyme-based electrochemical biosensors;
6. Development of microfluidic electrochemical biosensors and lab-on-chip sensing devices;
7. Simultaneous multianalyte detection;
8. Electrochemical biosensors in point-of-care detection devices
9. Novel material-based biosensor
10. Assembly and micro-fabrication of biosensor
11. Advancement of the electrochemical biosensors in Lifescience.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
