Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
There has been tremendous progress in the design and application of label-free biosensors for a wide range of medicine and biotechnology applications. Key application areas include, but are not limited to, diagnostics, bioanalytical tools, smart stimuli-responsive systems, and energy-generating sensing devices. This Special Issue focuses on covering the latest developments in label-free biosensors for medicine and biotechnology. Topics related to various transducing mechanisms, such as optical, acoustic, and electrochemical types, are broadly welcome. This Special Issue is suitable for novel biosensor designs as well as for new applications of existing biosensors, including performance testing.
We welcome submissions from any area of biosensing, provided that the basic measurement strategy involves a label-free readout. Both research papers and review articles will be considered. If you are interested in contributing to this Special Issue, we would very much appreciate receiving the tentative title of your contribution.

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.
