Microfluidics for Detection and Analysis

Dear Colleagues,

Microfluidic chips, commonly called “labs on a chip”, refer to the reduction in fluid flow, heat/mass transfer to the micrometer scale to perform sample preparation, reagent manipulation, biometric identification, and molecule detection. Microfluidic systems have always been used as biosensors to detect specific targets by converting biomolecular recognition into measurable physical or chemical signals. Integrated microfluidic biosensors allow low sample and reagent consumption, flexible liquid handling, and electrical, magnetic, acoustic, and optical technologies which can be easily incorporated into microfluidic biosensors to achieve rapid detection. Owing to these inherent advantages, microfluidic biosensors have received significant attention in many fields, such as clinical diagnosis, food safety, environmental pollution, and cell analysis.

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.
