Special Issue Information

Dear colleagues,

All of you are welcomed to submit your valuable research below the special issue entitled "Advances in Analytical Methods and Applications” under consideration of the journal Applied Science.

Research papers could be either practical or theoretical, relying on the application of new and advanced methods in Analytical Chemistry. Problems concerning the conservation and awareness of cultural heritage in a broad context, the characterization of materials, the environmental and food monitoring of contaminants, the growing interest on industrial processes and forensic science have in common the use of analytical methods. Therefore, the increasing acknowledge on those technologies pushes researchers to develop new methods. The purpose of this special issue care to disseminate new advances in analytical methods focusing on those different fields.

The topics of interest for this Special Issue include but are not limited to the following:

  • health
  • pharmaceutical analysis
  • environmental
  • agricultural
  • food science
  • biochemical and clinical analysis
  • forensic analysis
  • industrial process
  • cultural heritage, archeology

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.

The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the need for improved airborne infectious disease monitoring capability. A key challenge is to develop a technology that captures pathogens for identification from ambient air. While pathogenic species vary significantly in size and shape, for effective airborne pathogen detection the target species must be selectively captured from aerosolized droplets. Captured pathogens must then be separated from the remaining aerosolized droplet content and characterized in real-time. While improvements have been made with clinical laboratory automated sorting in culture media based on morphological characteristics of cells, this application has not extended to aerosol samples containing bacteria, viruses, spores, or prions. This manuscript presents a strategy and a model for the development of an airborne pandemic early warning system using aerosol sampling. Full article
