Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Recent advancements in plasmonics and surface-enhanced technologies have ushered in a new era of precision in biosensing applications. Plasmonics exploits the unique optical properties of metallic nanostructures, where the resonant oscillation of surface plasmons significantly enhances electromagnetic fields. This phenomenon allows for the sensitive detection of biomolecular interactions, even at trace levels. When combined with techniques such as surface plasmon resonance (SPR), surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS), and surface-enhanced fluorescence (SEF), plasmonic biosensors offer unparalleled sensitivity, enabling the detection of single molecules or ultra-low concentrations of analytes. These developments hold immense promise in various fields, including medical diagnostics, environmental monitoring, and food safety.
This Special Issue focuses on the latest fundamental advancements in SPR, SERS, and SEF and their biomedical and environmental sensing applications. By bringing together cutting-edge research articles, communications, and review papers, we aim to showcase the potential of these technologies to transform future biosensing strategies.

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.
