Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Miniaturization has emerged as a promising frontier in separation science, offering unprecedented opportunities for enhancing separation processes' efficiency, sensitivity, and portability. With this in mind, this Special Issue explores the latest innovations and advancements in microscale separation sciences. All kinds of miniaturized techniques will be covered, from sample preparation micro techniques (SPME, SBSE, MEPS, SDME, DLLME, and HF-LPME), chromatographic techniques (capillary GC, capillary LC, and capillary SFC), electrophoretic techniques (CZE, EC, and c-ITP), integrated microfluidic systems for sample preparation and analysis, etc. Also, their coupling with other techniques such as mass spectrometry (cLC-MS, EC-MS, and SFC-MS) and multidimensional systems such as GC-GC, GCxGC, LC-LC, microLC-GC, microLC-SFC, and others will be included in this Special Issue. In addition to instrumentation, this Special Issue will comprise method development and application of the various miniaturized separation techniques to analyze food samples, pharmaceutical, environmental, drugs, fuels, OMICS, industrial, and samples relevant to other arenas. Therefore, we are pleased to invite you to contribute with your research article, communication, or review to this Special Issue entitled “Separation Techniques on a Miniaturized Scale”.

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. Separations is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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.
