Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, point-of-care applications and high-throughput screening in the healthcare and pharmaceutical industries have resulted in the rapid development of microfluidic systems for cell biology and disease diagnostics. The microfluidic method has attracted significant attention in biological and chemical applications, especially in cell manipulation, mixing, and biosensing, due to its distinctive advantages.
Recent advances in microfluidics, such as the development of point-of-care devices for isolating bioparticles (cancer cells, exosomes, and nanoparticles), microfluidic systems for biosensing and mixing, and cell patterning and culturing using acoustic radiation force and the 3D characterization of cells, address many of the limitations of conventional methods.
In this Special Issue, we would like to invite, but not be limited to, the submission of research on the development of technologies and devices using the microfluidic method for bio/chemical analyses, such as cell manipulation, immunoassay sensors, cell rotating, cell sorting, cell patterning systems, and biosensing. Meanwile, immunoassay sensors and cell manipulation devices using acoustofluidic, electric, magnetic, and optofluidic approaches, as well as the discussion of potential opportunities and challenges of these fields, are also welcome. We encourage you to submit your manuscript with us and publish it.

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. Biosensors is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2700 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.
