Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, rapid research and development in device miniaturization and microfabrication technology has led to the sensitive and selective electrochemical sensor devices for in situ water and environmental monitoring. These sensor systems have attracted a great deal of attention and discussions in the scientific community, industry, and governmental agencies, since they can perform automated in situ analysis in complex matrices and provide rapid, reliable and inexpensive measurements of key chemical and physical parameters, including a variety of inorganic and organic contaminants. The continuous improvement of these sensors systems will significantly increase sensitivity and selectivity for specific pollutants with low concentration and reduce monitoring costs, as well as potentially transform the future of water and environmental monitoring practice around the world. This special issue seeks to address latest and important advances in design factors and development issues of electrochemical sensors for water and environmental monitoring purposes, including analytical improvements (e.g. detection limits), miniaturization, device/system microfabrication and potential for remote communication (e.g. wireless connection and user friendliness).

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.
