Advanced Sensing Technologies in Medical and Pharmaceutical Analysis

Dear Colleagues,

New portable systems that allow the detection and quantification of different compounds have emerged as a prominent trend in recent years. There are more and more devices that integrate sensors and that allow the analysis of different types of compounds, although it is true that their use in the pharmaceutical field is more limited. The quantification of compounds in biological or environmental samples requires low detection limits in most cases. For this reason, it is common for this type of analysis to be carried out in analysis laboratories with advanced instrumental techniques, such as a mass spectrometer, liquid or gas chromatography. However, these tests are generally expensive. Compared to laboratory-scale instruments, advanced detection technologies are extremely attractive due to the advantages of low cost, time savings, ease of use, simplified sample pretreatment, high sensitivity, and excellent selectivity.

This Special Issue aims to present readers with the hottest topics in chemosensor applications. The issue invites contributions related but not limited to novel concepts of wearable chemosensors, new devices, and potential applications with emphasis on optical sensors, electrochemical sensors, and biosensors:

• Pharmaceutical applications for pollutants and other compounds;
• Enabling technologies of wearable chemosensors;
• Optical detection into miniaturized and portable systems;
• New materials for bio-integrated wearable chemosensors;
• Biosensor and biomedical applications.

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.
