Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue aims to showcase the dynamic progress at the intersection of biosensing and emerging technologies, with a focus on innovative solutions to global challenges in healthcare, environmental monitoring, and industrial biotechnology. The central theme is breakthrough developments in novel Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) sensing technologies.
The scope includes, but is not limited to, cutting-edge research that leverages new mechanisms (such as metamaterials and asymmetric nanostructures), novel methodologies (including signal amplification strategies), and system integration (e.g., microfluidics and automated platforms) to significantly enhance the key performance metrics of SPR systems. These metrics include sensitivity, dynamic range, detection throughput, and detection speed. Contributions on related technologies like Localized Surface Plasmon Resonance (LSPR) are equally welcome. Furthermore, we encourage submissions that explore the transformative applications of these advanced SPR sensing platforms in areas such as biomolecular interaction analysis, ultrasensitive detection of disease biomarkers, drug screening, real-time monitoring of environmental pollutants, and industrial process analysis.
This Special Issue seeks to compile high-quality research that will advance innovation in advanced sensing technologies.

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.
