Label-Free Electrochemical Biosensing
This special issue belongs to the section “Biosensor and Bioelectronic Devices“.
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Label-free biosensors represent a groundbreaking advancement in the field of biosensing, offering significant potential for real-time, sensitive, and efficient detection without the need for traditional labeling or markers. This Special Issue in Biosensors aims to highlight the latest developments, applications, and challenges surrounding label-free biosensing technologies. These biosensors operate through a variety of mechanisms, such as optical, electrochemical, and piezoelectric sensing, enabling the rapid detection of biological interactions, biomolecules, and pathogens with minimal sample preparation. The importance of label-free biosensors is underscored by their ability to simplify assay workflows, reduce costs, and increase sensitivity, especially in fields such as medical diagnostics, environmental monitoring, and drug development. The articles within this Special Issue delve into cutting-edge innovations, exploring novel materials, sensor architectures, and analytical techniques that push the boundaries of label-free detection. Collectively, this Special Issue provides a comprehensive view of the current state of label-free biosensors, their transformative potential, and future directions for further research and commercialization.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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.
