Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Rapid analytical methods are essential for monitoring food quality and safety. Up to now, the research and development of simpler and faster analytical procedures based on biosensors has aroused much interest due to their simplicity and sensitivity. Nanomaterials, such as carbon nanomaterials (carbon nanotubes and graphene), metal nanoparticles, nanowires, nanocomposites, and nanostructured metal oxide nanoparticles have recently had a great impact on the development of biosensors. The nanomaterials are used as catalytic tools, immobilization platforms, or as optical or electroactive labels to improve the biosensing performance and obtain higher sensitivity, stability, and selectivity. To capture the latest developments in this direction, the specific topics of the Special Issue include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Nanomaterial-based biosensors for food composition analysis;
- Nanomaterial-based biosensors for food safety analysis;
- Nanomaterial-based biosensors for health biomarker analysis.
This Special Issue welcomes research findings, rapid communications, and full reviews.
You may choose our joint special issue in 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.
