Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Most current biosensors for analyte detection and concentration measurements are based on optical read-out techniques and/or require labelling techniques, often leading to complicated interface systems that make them unsuitable for low-cost applications. Recent developments in micro- or nanoscale resonant sensors are promising to overcome these issues, e.g., based on acoustic wave sensors, coupled resonators, thermo-piezoresistive actuation-sensing techniques, new types of quartz crystal microbalances, high sensitivity gravimetric resonators, etc. They have in common that they offer a solution to the problem that conventional resonant sensors typically require operation in vacuum environment to achieve sufficiently high-quality factors that are of limited use for direct application for biosensing.
This call for papers invites technical contributions from the Sensors Special Issue on “Resonant Based Bio-MEMS Sensors for Analyte Detection and Concentration Measurements”. This Special Issue aims to provide an up-to-date overview of resonant biosensors that can be used in direct contact with the medium that the bioanalyte to-be-sensed is in, their theory, and their solutions, as well as a forum for sharing innovative approaches and applications. Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Acoustic wave biosensors;
- Coupled resonator sensors;
- Biosensors based on piezoelectric resonators;
- High-Q resonator sensors;
- Quartz Crystal microbalances for biosensing;
- Gravimetric biosensors;
- Nanoscale resonators.

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. Sensors 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 2600 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.
