Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Electrochemical biosensors, which are the combination of electrochemistry and biosensor technology, are novel and promising Chemosensors. The basic principle of electrochemical biosensors is utilizing biological components as sensing elements and accomplishing signal transition with electrochemical reactions. These biological components include enzymes, antibodies, nucleic acid, aptamer, whole cells, etc. Compared with typical chemical sensors, electrochemical biosensors can detect targets at low cost, with additional benefits such as simple operation, rapid response, and high specificity. These characteristics provide electrochemical biosensors with great prospects in the fields of environmental monitoring, disease diagnosis, and food-safety risk assessment.
Lately, due to significant progress in nano-material and micro-electrodes, the sensitivity and repeatability of electrochemical biosensors have enhanced. This provides a solid foundation for practical applications. In addition, as a result of in-depth research into environmental and molecular biology, a series of novel electrochemical biosensors have been reported. In this Special Issue, we would like to collect and discuss the prospects and applications of electrochemical biosensors. We welcome reviews and research articles related (but not limited) to the following topics:
- Clinical biomarker, environmental indicator, and food component biomonitoring.
- Novel target and biological recognition element.
- Interface mechanisms of electrochemical biosensors.
- Electrode surface treatment and coating.
- Microelectrodes and interdigital electrodes.
- Sensor configuration design.
- Electrochemical detection method.
- Electrical signal measurement and treatment.
- Electrochemical biosensor application and challenge.

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. 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 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.
