Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Miniaturized chemical sensors increasingly attract interest of scientists and researchers in a variety of areas, including analytical chemistry, chemical biology, clinical research, etc. In essence, a sensor refers to a device that can be used to measure specific analytes by a detectable signal. The signal can be optical, thermal, mechanical, acoustic, or electronic. Unlike traditional sensors, chemical sensors have many obvious advantages, such as excellent biocompatibility, intensive signal, low limit of detection, and facile tunability. So they are frequently used in cell imaging, diagnosis, environmental evaluation, quality testing, etc. Over the past few years, considerable progress has been made in the development of versatile chemical sensors. Thus, we are willing to prepare a Special Issue for miniaturized chemical sensors. All papers including reviews, and full articles discussing this topic are encouraged to submit to this Special Issue.

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.
