Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue focuses on the development and application of advanced technology for point-of-care testing (POCT) bacteria, genes, microRNA, protein, metal ions, etc., in analytical chemistry. With the increasing demand for rapid, accurate, and portable diagnostic tools, biosensors have emerged as a key technology for real-time health monitoring and disease diagnosis. This Issue highlights cutting-edge research in biosensor design, including innovative nanomaterials, CRISPR technology, portable devices, lateral flow assays, microfluidics, and the use of nanotechnology to enhance sensitivity and specificity. The goal is to explore how these advancements can be applied to food safety and clinical and environmental settings, enabling efficient and cost-effective diagnostic solutions.
The Special Issue will provide a forum for the latest research activities in the field of POCT-based biosensors. Both review articles and original research papers are solicited in, though not limited to, the following areas:
- Nanomaterials-based biosensors;
- POCT biosensors;
- Portable devices for detection;
- Microfluidic chip-based biosensors;
- Lateral flow immunoassays-based biosensors.

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. Chemosensors 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.
