Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Microfluidic-based technologies have attracted significant research attention and have become increasingly popular in applications for bio-related detection and analysis. Over the past decade, the enhancement of microfluidics’ intrinsic features, combined with advancements in technologies like optics, electronics, sensors, and advanced material, which have been seamlessly incorporated into microfluidics, has enabled a more sensitive and specific quantification of target molecules or organisms. As a result, numerous research studies and translated platforms in biomedical microfluidics have emerged, the numbers of which keeps increasing. In this Special Issue, entitled “Advances in Microfluidics: Transforming Detection and Quantification of Disease Biomarkers and Target Organisms”, we aim to focus on further advancing biosensing and bioanalysis via microfluidic-based methods.
Original research articles or reviews related to microfluidic-based detection and quantification of disease biomarkers and target organisms are welcome. We believe that this Special Issue will serve as an invaluable platform for researchers to share their insights, exchange knowledge, and inspire further advancements in the field of microfluidic-based detection and quantification.

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 2700 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.
