Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Chemical analytical instrumentation consists of sensors and reader equipment. The development of chemical and biosensors makes it possible to monitor a vast range of magnitudes in such different fields as environmental monitoring, drug control, health, point of care, sports, or general chemical analysis. Standard instrumentation is usually based on desk equipment that needs direct interaction between the reactive and the reader unit. Recently, some wireless protocols have been developed, not only for communication systems such as Bluetooth or WIFI, but also to supply the sensor tag using RFID (radio frequency identification). In fact, most smartphones embody the required hardware to implement a kind of RFID protocol, NFC (Near-Field Communication), designed to communicated over small distances, in the range of a few centimetres. Therefore, many possibilities to develop wireless chemical biosensing devices appears with these communication technologies. Moreover, wireless sensor systems can be implemented without electronics in the sensor tags, using, for example, magnetic coupling with resonant frequency changes or colour swings as markers.
This Special Issue aims to highlight the most recent research regarding biosensors and biodevices with wireless readout or communication protocol. Contributions are invited from groups active in this field of research.

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.
