Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nano- and micro-techniques, including nanomaterial synthesis, self-assembly, electrospinning, 3D printing, nanofabrication, microfabrication, and others, have been increasingly developed in recent years and contributed significantly to the design and construction of highly sensitive and selective sensors and biosensors. We propose a Special Issue on “Nano- and Micro-biosensing Technologies” to present advancements in this promising field. This collection primarily focuses on the technologies for synthesizing sensor architecture materials and fabricating high-performance biosensors.
Firstly, functional nanomaterials and micromaterials, incorporating metallic nanoparticles, quantum dots, nanotubes, and 2D materials, are needed to enhance the sensitivity and functionalities of biosensors. These synthesized materials fabricate various fluorescent, colorimetric, Raman spectral, surface plasmon resonance, electrochemical, and electric biosensors for the quick and sensitive detection of bioanalytes.
Secondly, to improve the selectivity of biosensors, specific bio-probes, such as antibodies, antigens, peptides, aptamers, and enzymes, are conjugated onto biosensor systems for the targeted determination of various biomolecules. Introducing bio-probes extends the applications of biosensors to trace the analysis of heavy metal ions, DNA, proteins, and disease biomarkers.
Additionally, advanced techniques, such as nanolithography, microfabrication, self-assembly, electrospinning, and 3D printing, are required to create nanoscale and microscale devices as biosensors, including field-effect transistors, microfluidic systems, wearable sensors, microelectrodes, and microarray sensors.
In addition, studies on other novel techniques for material synthesis, biosensor fabrication, and applications are welcome.

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.
