Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Biosensors are used to measure the concentration of target analytes, which refers to molecules, materials or devices that transduce a chemical or biological recognition reaction into a physically detectable signal. In general, biosensors are portable with low energy consumption and allow real-time and on-site detection. We have witnessed the growth of the field in many directions over the years. Some discoveries may not have initially intended to contribute to biosensor research, but have been used by analytical chemists. Entering 2022, we wish to summarize some new trends in the biosensor field by organizing a Special Issue for Biosensors.
The SI journal caters to the needs of chemical and chemical engineers, material scientists, food chemists and microbiologists in the area of biosensors. The SI journal will mainly publish original research papers, review articles and short communications.

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. Biosensors 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 2700 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.
