Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The 6th International Conference Implementation of Microreactor Technology in Biotechnology – IMTB 2022 (https://imtb2022.fkkt.uni-lj.si/)– will take place in Portorož, Slovenia, from 5th to 8th May 2022. The IMTB conference aims to provide a platform for people from industry and academia, working in the cross-section of microfluidics, life sciences, analytics, and bioprocess engineering. The interdisciplinary feature of the IMTB conferences enables participants to present and discuss their latest results, developments, and strategies within these complementary fields and to integrate them to gain new accomplishments for industrial implementation.
We welcome manuscripts on any subtopic in this area, including:
- Enzymatic microreactors (multiphase microflow systems, enzyme immobilization in microreactors, kinetic studies and modeling of enzymatic reactions in microreactors, multistep enzymatic reactions in microflow systems)
- Cells within microdevices (microbioreactors for cell culturing, whole-cell biotransformations within microreactors, microfluidic high-throughput screening, stem cells cultivation in microreactors, cell analysis within microdevices)
- Analytical microdevices (analysis of biomolecules in microdevices, monitoring within microflow systems, medical diagnostics in microdevices, microarrays, μTAS)
- Bioprocess intensification and integration (bioprocess intensification, downstream processing in microflow systems, continuous bioprocess integration, lab-on-a-chip, microscale-based bioprocess modeling, microreactor technology across the scales).
- We hope that this Special Issue will further promote the implementation of microflow systems in biotechnology and especially in industrial applications.

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. Micromachines 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 2600 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.
Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
