Electrochemical Aptasensors

An aptamer-based biosensor is a compact analytical device consisting of an aptamer, as the bio-sensing receptor element, incorporated on a physical transducer surface. Aptamers are a novel class of reagents for the rapid monitoring and detection of biomolecules, which are characterized by a small size, chemically stability, and low cost, compared to conventional “receptors” such as antibodies or enzymes. Moreover, they offer extraordinary elasticity and expediency in the design of their assemblies, which has led to novel biosensors that show high sensitivity and selectivity. Recent investigations in nanotechnology, fabrication, and biotechnology have involved material science engineers, molecular biochemists, and biotechnologist for the development of aptasensors. This Special Issue will accept and publish manuscripts that deal with aptasensors, concerning, for example, surface immobilization techniques and mechanisms used to detect biomolecular interactions in the context of biotechnology and nanomedicine

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.
