Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Emerging single-cell analysis technologies create a new avenue for profiling individual cells and investigating the roles they play in various processes. Traditional single-cell analysis methods, such as single-cell sequencing, are mainly limited by cytogenetic analysis and face the problems of low throughput, complex steps, and high price. Micro/nanofluidics, such as microfluidic chip, have the ability to pioneer the field of single-cell analysis, enabling the multiple analysis of gene, protein, and cell behavior through accurate cell manipulation, construction of on-chip biomimetic scenarios, etc.
This Special Issue aims to highlight advances in microfluidic and nanofluidic technologies for single-cell sensing and analysis.
Contributions to this Special Issue may include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Multiparametric cell phenotyping;
- Label-free quantification;
- Intracellular sensing.

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.
