Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Screen-printed electrodes (SPEs) have supported the development of biosensor technologies by providing cost-effective, scalable and versatile platforms for real-time analyses in healthcare, environmental monitoring and food safety. Recent advances in electrode materials, functionalisation strategies and the integration of nanotechnology have improved their sensitivity, selectivity and stability, increasing their relevance to science and society. Their use today has widened to other applications beyond traditional electrochemistry, including energy generators or batteries merged with sensing for creating autonomous systems.
This Special Issue focuses on the latest developments in SPE assembly, surface modification and novel formats of detection. By linking basic research and real-world applications, the aim in this Special Issue is to highlight innovative approaches that push the boundaries of electrochemical biosensing.
We invite authors to present the current state of the art of SPE-based biosensors and their emerging advances, aimed at improving analytical performance and their future use in diagnostics and point-of-care technologies as well as in environmental, food and industrial monitoring.

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 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.
