Advances in Screen-Printed Electrode & Electrochemical Sensor Applications

Dear Colleagues,

In the last decade a vast investment and research in sensing technology has been made. Due to their excellent sensitivity, rapid response, simplicity, low cost and portability, electrochemical sensors are involved in a wide variety applications in analytical chemistry. They are easy to miniaturize and to integrate into automatic systems. The screen-printing technology presents several advantages for the fabrication of electrochemical sensors. It allows the fabrication of a wide range of geometries, mass production at low cost, disposability, and portability. The combination of screen-printing technology with electrochemical sensors is promising for commercial purposes. The topics covered in this Special Issue represent recent innovations in the construction of electrochemical sensors on screen printed electrodes and application to different fields, such has food, clinical and environmental analysis. Different recognition elements can be used: biological (enzymatic, antibodies, aptamers, etc.) and chemical (molecularly imprinted polymers). Both review and original research articles are welcomed, highlighting the latest developments and future challenges in this exciting field.

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. Chemosensors 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 2000 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.
