Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In this Special Issue, we delve into the innovative world of optical and electrochemical biosensors, focusing on their applications in biological, environmental, and food analyses. These biosensors represent a convergence of interdisciplinary sciences, leveraging principles from chemistry, physics, biology, and engineering to provide the rapid, accurate, and sensitive detection of various analytes.
Optical and electrochemical biosensors are at the forefront of technological advancements in analytical sciences. Their applications in biological, environmental, and food analyses are pivotal in addressing global challenges related to health, environment, and food safety. As we continue to innovate and explore the potential of biosensors, their impact on society, industry, and research will undoubtedly expand, offering new solutions to age-old and emerging challenges.
This Special Issue aims to showcase the latest research advances in optical and electrochemical biosensors to explore the real analysis potential and inspire researchers to identify prospective and more interesting directions for its further development and application. We accept original, technical, or review papers on (but not limited to) the following topics:
- Investigation of potential molecular mechanisms and interactions of optical and electrochemical biosensors;
- Development of devices for various sensing platforms, including microsystem technologies, miniaturized devices, microelectrodes, etc.;
- Active material exploration for enhancing the analytical performance of optical and electrochemical systems, including nanomaterials, novel semiconductor materials, microelectrode materials, etc.;
- Advances and perspectives in design devices and fabrication technologies for optical and electrochemical biosensors;
- Application of optical and electrochemical biosensors in biological, environmental sciences, and food analyses.

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.
