Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Optical Label-Free Sensors is a research field which has focused growing interest since first devices, such as Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) based biosensors, emerged as an alternative for biodetection. Since then, biofunctionalization techniques, micro and nano fabrication processes, microfluidic devices and have contributed to develop highly integrable biosensors, with really low values of limit of detection (both for refractive index sensing and biodetection), hardly reachable with other sensing techniques, and also requiring really small values of sample for all the detection process.
In this special issue we will focus on recent advances on the optical biosensing field: New or improved platforms for optical sensing, optimized optical transducers, integrated devices, multiplexed detection units, biofunctionalization protocols for transducers and characterization of the performance of sensors are some examples of the sub topics covered in this special issue, no excluding other any other topic related

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.
