Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Microfluidics is a precision tool for the manipulation of small volume fluid within micro-machined manifolds and devices. In the last two decades, integrated microfluidic platforms have been extensively devised for many sensing and diagnostic tasks in both physics and life science research. Microwave-microfluidic sensors is an emerging technology for real-time, non-invasive measurement of solvent electrical properties with high-resolution sensing performance, which may play an important role in evaluating and understanding chemical reactions and biological processes in situ. In addition to sensing, the same setup can be used to deliver microwave power to the sample for real-time microwave excitation and sensing to understand thermal and non-thermal responses. The combination of integrable microwave elements and microfluidic circuits shows new capabilities in a wide range of applications, including flow chemistry, polymer processing, material synthesis, biomedicine, and clinical usage.

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.
