Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent decades, electrochemical sensors and biosensors have been widely studied and applied in several fields, such as clinical, industrial, environmental, and agricultural analyses.
Different aspects concerning their fabrication have been investigated in many directions to achieve sensors increasingly performing in terms of sensitivity, selectivity, and accuracy.
For this purpose, several improvements have been reached in sensing materials, transducers, and electronic interfaces. Electrochemical sensors represent an interdisciplinary research topic concerning material development, including material science, organic chemistry, and biochemistry. Based on sensing material, electrochemical sensors are divided into selective and broad selective sensors. The first mentioned group of sensors is used to detect and quantify the concentration of a target analyte in a medium. Broad-selective sensors are mainly arranged into arrays to provide qualitative information about complex samples.
Critical criteria must be considered when designing and developing electrochemical sensors, such as physical dimensions, reliability, reversibility, response time, data acquisition, overall cost, and power consumption.
The advances in microfabrication and electronics fields allow for easy-to-use sensing devices leading to significant progress in developing miniaturized electrochemical sensors and sensor systems.
These parallel developments involve different scientific fields and often make the dissemination of information dispersed.
Based on these premises, this Special Issue is addressed to explore the many aspects of electrochemical sensors and biosensors, from developing new sensing materials to implementing complex sensor systems and their use for different 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. 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.
