Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Microfluidic devices and sensors are closely interconnected fields that work both synergistically and complementarily. When integrated with advanced sensors, the footprint of microfluidic devices can be reduced substantially while detecting and measuring a wide range of biological, chemical, and physical parameters with remarkable sensitivity and specificity. Conversely, the ability of microfluidic devices to handle minute amounts of liquid is crucial for enhancing sensor performance when analyzing complex systems and samples. This powerful combination not only enhances our understanding of fundamental processes at the microscale but also drives innovations in fields such as organ-on-chip systems, synthetic biology, medical diagnostics, environmental monitoring, and material synthesis.
The goal of this Special Issue is to present cutting-edge research that highlights the combination of microfluidic devices and various sensing techniques. We are seeking original research articles and comprehensive reviews that address, but are not limited to, the following topics:
- Novel methods for designing and fabricating microfluidic devices;
- Microfluidic methods for sample preparation and processing;
- Integrated systems for bioanalysis and biosensing;
- Miniaturized sensing elements that can be combined with microfluidic devices;
- Novel fluid and particle manipulation strategies in microfluidic systems;
- Microfluidic preparation of sensing materials.

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.
