Aptamer Sensors

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue will focus on recent developments in the field of aptamer sensors as these are becoming very powerful for a multitude of applications.

Aptamers are nucleic acid and peptide ligands, which can be selected for different targets starting from a huge library of molecules containing randomly created sequences. In the last years, great progress has been accomplished in the development of aptamer-based biosensors with different detection techniques. I would like to invite you to participate by submitting your original articles or reviews on your research with aptamer biosensors. Detection may include, but is not limited, to fluorescence, surface plasmon resonance, Raman, piezoelectric or electrochemical technique.

This Special Issue aims to provide a survey of the current topics and the major development lines in this rapidly growing research area.

Prof. Dr. Giovanna Marrazza
Guest Editor

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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 2200 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.
