Special Issue Information
Microfluidics has made significant progress in its several-decades-long existence as a scientific field. The need for the field has never been more clear than it is today. Microfluidics has the potential to offer solutions in, e.g., medical diagnostics, drug development, and environmental analysis.
This Special Issue invites contributions from the European microfluidics community on their latest advances in the field of microfluidics. For the purposes of this Special Issue, microfluidics is defined broadly to encompass not only traditional fluidic channels but also, e.g., droplet manipulation on surfaces or the use of paper or other porous matrices. The focus of the submissions should be on application of microfluidics or new microfluidic components/principles. Submissions based on new materials and fabrication methods are also invited, but they need to have a clear link to microfluidics as otherwise, they might fall outside the scope of this Special Issue. This Special Issue seeks to showcase research papers, communications, and review articles that focus on microfluidic technology in Europe.

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.
