Feature Papers: State-of-the-Art Biosensors Technology 2018

Dear Colleagues,

On behalf of the Biosensors Editorial Board, it is a pleasure to announce this Special Issue, “Feature Papers: State-of-the-Art Biosensors Technology 2018”. Biosensors are devices that use a biological recognition element retained in direct spatial contact with a transduction system (Thevenot D.R., Tòth K., Durst R.A., Wilson G.S. (2001) Electrochemical Biosensors: Recommended Definitions and Classification Pure Appl. Chem. 71 2333). A biosensor converts a biological recognition event into a measurable signal. It consists of a biorecognition element (e.g., enzyme, antibody, tissue, living cell, etc.) that provides selectivity and a transducer (e.g., electrochemical, optical, piezoelectrical, etc.) that converts the biological recognition reaction into a measurable and quantifiable signal. The connected electronics are responsible for signal processing and user-friendly result visualization.

We would like to invite you to submit an article, which will provide an up-to-date perspective in the field, to this Special Issue. We will strictly select papers from excellent scholars around the world to publish for free in this Special Issue to benefit both authors and readers.

Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

• Immunosensors;
• Enzymatic biosensors;
• Whole cell biosensors;
• DNA based biosensors;
• Paper-based biosensors;
• Thick film printed biosensors;
• Micro- and Nanobiosensors;
• Biomimetic materials for biosensing (molecularly imprinted polymers, aptamers, odorant binding proteins, etc.);
• Biomarkers for Diagnostics;
• Point-of-care applications;
• Lab-on-a-chip technology;
• Microfluidic devices;
• Biomedical engineering;
• Wearable and implantable sensors;
• Environmental applications;
• Further applications, e.g., food industry and control, biotechnology, etc.

Deadline for submission is 31 December, 2018. Authors are welcome to send short proposals for submissions of feature papers to our Editorial Office (biosensors@mdpi.com).

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.
