Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Biosensors offer many advantages over traditional laboratory techniques in terms of sensitivity, accuracy, rapid response, and portability. They are now considered a new era of promising tools that are user-accessible for the rapid monitoring of environmental pollutants.
The importance of portable biosensors has been recognized worldwide, and many investigations have explored their potential applications. This Special Issue aims to analyze recent trends in portable biosensors, especially in connection with recent advances in nanotechnology. Topics include the following:
- Portable nanobiosensors;
- Nucleic acid-based biosensors;
- Aptamer-based biosensors;
- Biosensors based on antigenic gold, silver, and zinc nanoparticles;
- Electrochemical nanosensors;
- Optical nanosensors;
- Nanotechnological advances in biosensing.

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. Applied Sciences 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 2400 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.
