Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Recently, there has been rapid progress in the biosensor field. This is due to the adaptation of existing nanofabrication techniques to develop new biosensors with higher performance and form factor. New methods for measuring analytes are being formed using novel materials and technologies, such as conducting polymers, and electrical sensing methodologies, such as chronoamperometry and voltammetry. When coupled with a small size, nano-scale electronic biosensors offer superior advantages such as high sensitivity to targets, strong resolution for localized detection, compatibility with standard large-scale semiconductor processing, and real-time and label-free detection in a nondestructive manner. Such advancements have led to higher standards for biosensors, and new facets are being explored to increase utility, like data assessment methods for characterization, and use of flexible substrates for wearable sensors. These sensors are able to maintain many of the same capabilities of normal sensors but are much more suited to being used in dynamic environments due to their ability to stretch and bend while retaining function, opening up the possibility for fully integrated, flexible systems. Today, biosensor technology presents an exciting opportunity to transition from academic research into the clinical spotlight.

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.
