Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Food safety has become a hot issue concerned by governments, people and society. Biosensors have been playing a greater vital role in monitoring agro-products and their production process to ensure end-foods’ quality and safety, and they usually demonstrate a lot of benefits, such as being sensitive, rapid, portable, cheap and especially suitable for on-site testing. So, this topic will concern the development of biosensors and analytical methods, especially for chemicals, microorganisms, biotoxins in agriculture, environment and food samples. It is suggested that biosensors should be in line with the trend of five “S”, Sensitivity, Specificity (Selection), Speed, Simultaneously, Small (Smart), and that all detection methods should be validated using agriculture, environment or food samples. Interdisciplinary research and integrative application research related to biosensors are also encouraged, including review articles and research articles.

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.
