Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, electrochemiluminescence has gained tremendous attention as a powerful technique for the quantitative determination of different types of analytes by combining electrochemistry and luminescence. This technique has various applications in different scientific fields due to its remarkable features, such as simple instrumentation, a wide dynamic range, low background noise, and high sensitivity. It can be used for the determination of various analytes, including biomarkers, environmental pollutants, and different types of chemicals. Principally, ECL sensing combines the advantages of electrochemical and luminescence techniques for analyte determination. Therefore, ECL has become a hot topic in recent years, particularly as a selective tool in analytical sciences. Innovations in using nanomaterials or other advanced materials for improving the performance of ECL sensors, which can be used in a wide range of analytical sensing applications, are particularly interesting.
For this Special Issue, we welcome original research papers as well as reviews on the current developments in the design of high-sensitivity and reproducible electrochemiluminescence biosensors. This includes the design of state-of-the-art sensors for various analytes, the characterization of sensor materials, environmental analysis, medical diagnostics, and chemical detection. Research based on designing ECL biosensors with nanomaterials and modifier platforms are also encouraged. The design and development of lab-on-a-chip devices, wearable sensors, and portable platforms for point-of-care applications are of special interest. Reviews should provide an in-depth examination of the most recent research in a specific context or discuss the future perspectives related to ECL and the sensor field.

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.
