Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue presents the technological advancements that are improving the field of affinity-based immunosensors to a new level. It highlights the fundamental concepts of immunosensors, which depend on the precise binding interactions between antigens and antibodies, providing high sensitivity and specificity for the detection of various analytes. The Special Issue examines the development of advanced materials, including 2D materials, carbon nanotubes, conductive polymers and nanomaterials, which significantly improve sensor performance. It also covers the integration of microfluidic systems for improved miniaturization and portability, and the evolution of label-free detection methods that simplify sensor operation and allow for real-time analysis. Enhanced signal transduction methods, including electrochemical, optical and piezoelectric approaches, are discussed for their role in increasing detection limits and accuracy. Advanced data processing and machine learning techniques are also highlighted for their potential to improve the interpretation of sensor performance. This collection of cutting-edge research underscores the significant advancements in affinity-based immunosensor technology, paving the way for improved applications in medical diagnostics, environmental monitoring and food safety.
This Special Issue aims to invite and collect research works based on recent technological advances in affinity-based immunosensors. We welcome the submissions of original research, reviews and short communication articles on this topic.
The proposed topics to be covered in this Special Issue include (but are not limited to) the following:
- innovative materials
- microfluidics
- signal transduction
- surface functionalization
- label-free detection
- electrochemical
- and photoelectrochemical.

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.
