Biosensors for Ultrasensitive and Rapid Detection

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue, "Biosensors for Ultrasensitive and Rapid Detection," is dedicated to the latest breakthroughs in biosensing technologies that address the growing demand for analyzing targets at ultralow concentrations with rapid turnaround. A key focus lies on innovative signal amplification strategies (e.g., enzymatic, nanomaterial-based, and isothermal amplification) and emerging methodologies for single-molecule detection that are pushing the limits of quantification. This Special Issue also explores novel biorecognition elements, advanced transducers (including plasmonic, electrochemical, and FET-based platforms), and integrated microfluidic systems. The collected works demonstrate significant strides in pushing the limits of detection and reducing assay times, paving the way for next-generation biosensors. These advancements hold immense potential for transformative applications in early disease diagnostics, point-of-care testing, environmental monitoring, and food safety control, ultimately contributing to improved health and safety outcomes.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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 2200 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.
