Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are inviting submissions to a Special Issue of Applied Sciences on Research Highlights in Microfluidics.
Microfluidics is a new technology platform used to manipulate very small amounts of liquids with high accuracy, and is widely used in the research of biological problems. Microfluidic technology has developed rapidly in recent years. It integrates the sample pretreatment, biochemical reaction, sorting and detection processes involved in the fields of chemistry, biology and medicine into a microfluidic chip and provides a powerful research platform for the foundation and application of these fields. Microfluidic chips can process a large number of samples in parallel, and has the advantages of reduced sample consumption, fast detection speed, simple operation, multi-functional integration, small size and easy of transport. In the future, it will play an important role in the biomedical field, especially in vitro diagnosis. In recent years, the research highlights in microfluidic technology have mainly been focused around the research of efficiency promotion, the combination of multiple micro operation methods, chip processing, microfluidic driving, biological signal detection and so on.
In this Special Issue, we invite submissions exploring research highlights and recent advances in microfluidics. Both theoretical and experimental studies are welcome, as well as comprehensive review and survey papers.

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. Applied Sciences 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 2400 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.
