Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The design of chemical sensors often requires a comprehension of all of the reagents that are crucial to successful development and validation. These reagents may be chromogenic, derivatizing, fluorogenic, imaging, reactive, redox, and even specific in their chemical functionality. A critical choice of the most appropriate reagent can significantly help the manufacturing engineer or research scientist with cost-effective production and valid applications. Suitable reagents may span across biochemical, inorganic, organic, and polymeric substances that are either commercially available for immediate use or synthetically facile to prepare in the lab. Proper use of each reagent may be governed by pH, temperature, solvent, redox, enzyme, light, ultrasound, magnetic field, and safety concerns. Both logical deduction and creative thinking can bring about novelty in a unique way so that reagents may work together synergistically for a target analyte.
This Special Issue of Chemosensors focuses on the latest advances in chemical reagents that are beneficial to new sensor design and development. We look forward to receiving your new manuscripts in the upcoming weeks for fun of reporting as well as joy of sharing! Topics of interest include but are not limited to the following:
- Nanoreagents
- Nanomaterials
- Nanostructures
- Nanolight sources
- Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy
- Surface acoustic waves
- Molecularly imprinted polymers
- Surface plasmon resonance
- Molecular fluorescence
- Fiber

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.
