Electrochemical Biosensor Based on Micro/Nano Structure Materials

Dear Colleagues, 

We invite you to submit research articles and reviews for a Special Issue of the open-access journal Biosensors (Q1, IF: 5.519). Your recent discoveries in electrochemical biosensors using micro/nano-modified materials are especially welcomed.

Biosensor technology helps to bridge the gap between the physical and biological sciences. By examining the behavior of biomolecules and assemblies of biomolecules, materials scientists can uncover the principles of the nanoscale world. Engineers have developed various nanoscale technologies to aid in developing molecular binding, interactions, and compliance models for systems biology. Several studies on the viability of using micro- and nanomaterials for biosensor applications have been published in recent years. Carbon nanotubes and graphene (and their derivatives) are among the most promising materials due to their excellent biocompatibility, chemical purity, large surface area, and ease of fractionation, thus allowing them to be widely used. These devices detect specific biomolecules by attaching them to an immobilized probe sequence or modified electrode material, and these devices also detect specific biomolecules. The resulting change in charge correlates directly with the amount of analyte. Such systems can detect and quantify specific biomolecules in the sample matrix, whether for food identification or diagnosis of a patient's condition. This Special Issue will publish unique research or reviews on the development of micro/nanomaterial-based biosensors used for detecting a variety of biomolecules. In addition to focusing on practical applications, we also welcome basic concepts and practice-oriented research.

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.
