Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The development of novel microfluidic devices for ultrasensitive bioassays has opened new frontiers in diagnostics, healthcare, and personalized medicine. The integration of microfluidics with biosensing technologies enables rapid, accurate, and cost-effective detection of biomolecules, paving the way for next-generation point-of-care (PoC) diagnostic platforms. These advancements hold significant promise for decentralized healthcare, offering real-time monitoring and early disease detection, even in resource-limited settings.
Recent innovations in wearable and mobile biosensors have expanded the scope of continuous health monitoring, while power-free lab-on-a-chip devices provide robust solutions for PoC diagnostics. The evolution of ultrasensitive bioassay platforms, including immunoassays and molecular diagnostics, is enhancing detection sensitivity to previously unattainable levels. Droplet microfluidics is further advancing digital assay techniques, enabling high-throughput and single-molecule analysis with unprecedented precision.
Moreover, emerging approaches such as synthetic biology-based biosensors and DNA nanotechnology-based biosensors are driving a paradigm shift in biosensing, facilitating programmable, highly specific, and scalable detection strategies. These technologies are expected to revolutionize diagnostic applications by improving sensitivity, specificity, and affordability.
This Special Issue serves as a dedicated research forum highlighting the latest breakthroughs in microfluidic biosensing and diagnostic platforms. We invite researchers from diverse fields to contribute original research articles, short communications, and review papers covering, but not limited to, the following topics:
- Wearable and mobile biosensors;
- Power-free lab-on-a-chip devices;
- Ultrasensitive bioassay platforms for immunoassay and molecular diagnostics;
- Droplet microfluidics for digital assays;
- Point-of-care testing (PoCT) devices;
- Synthetic biology-based biosensors;
- DNA nanotechnology-based biosensors.
We look forward to your contributions and to advancing the field of ultrasensitive microfluidic bioassays together.
