Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue on paper-based biosensing technologies seeks to encompass a wide range of topics that cover the development of novel paper substrates with tailored properties for enhanced sensing performance; the integration of various detection modalities such as colorimetric, electrochemical, and fluorescence-based methods into paper-based platforms; and the exploration of new fabrication techniques for scalable and reproducible manufacturing. Additionally, this Special Issue delves into the integration of paper-based biosensors with emerging technologies such as microfluidics, smartphone-based readout systems, and artificial intelligence for enhanced sensitivity, specificity, and user-friendliness. Contributors are invited to investigate the application of paper-based biosensing technologies in diverse areas such as point-of-care diagnostics, environmental monitoring, food safety, and biodefense. By addressing these multifaceted issues, this Special Issue aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of paper-based biosensing technologies, from fundamental design principles to practical applications, thereby fostering further innovation and advancement in the field.
