Electrochemical and bioelectrochemical techniques have been booming during last decade. Such trend relates with many factors, but the most important ones are easy-of-miniaturization and automation of electrochemical instruments. Due to miniaturization electrochemical instruments could be used in everyday life. These instruments should make easier many laborious procedures such as in situ assessment of environment pollution, dosing of drugs, monitoring of biologically important metabolites, weapons or toxic substances, gene profiling and others. The fields for application of miniaturized electrochemical or bioelectrochemical instruments are much more.

This issue will include the following topics:
1) New trends in bioelectrochemistry
2) Tissue, cell and molecular bioelectrochemistry
3) Bioelectrochemical sensors
4) Lab on a chip, miniaturization and nanotechnology in bioelectrochemistry
5) Emergency sensors
6) Personal biosensors
7) Bioelectrochemical analysis in human and veterinary medicine (diagnostic of cancer, heart illnesses, diabetes, human genetic disorders, viral diseases)
8) Electrochemical automation and robotic systems
