Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
To achieve the precise manipulation and detection of micro- and nanotargets, LOC micro-systems provide promising options due to their applications in mechanical, medical, biological, and environmental fields. In all these areas, the adoption of microfluidic devices transforms the efficiency of the reactive process or assay and analytical throughput. For biological and chemical applications, there is great interest in micro/nano-structured channel systems and micro/nano-patterned surfaces. So-called microfluidic devices offer great prospects for carrying out biochemical reactions, as well as successive separation and analysis of the reaction products on one chip. In this Special Issue, entitled “Advanced lab-on-chip and micro-systems for manipulation and detection”, we seek to showcase research papers, communications, and review articles that focus on novel methodological developments by using advanced microfluidic systems for sampling and detection, with particular interest being paid to techniques for the manipulation, separation, characterization, and identification of micro-targets. Based on their ability to perform complex experimental workflows in a rapid, efficient, and robust fashion, the platforms are favorable for defined biological and chemical applications.

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.
