Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nanotechnology’s remarkable and rapid advancements have revolutionized the field of chemical and biological sensors. Sensor development is considered a crucial aspect of scientific progress due to its significant impact on environmental preservation, human health, and economic development. These sensors have the potential to detect pollutants, toxic heavy metals, and biomarkers for a variety of infectious and epidemic diseases.
Biosensor technology has gained considerable attention as an analytical and diagnostic method. It must meet the requirements of point-of-care applications, including being fast, simple, selective, and cost-effective.
The objective of this Special Issue is to compile recent advances and developments in biosensor technology, with a focus on the assay of biomarkers and toxic materials via electrochemical techniques. We invite submissions of papers, communications, and reports related to, but not limited to, the following topics:
Apta-biosensors;
Chemical sensors;
Point-of-care testing;
Electrochemical biosensors;
Biosensor applications;
Solid-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. Sensors is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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.
