Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Lab-on-a-Chip (LoC) biosensors have revolutionized biomedical diagnostics by integrating microfluidics, nanotechnology, and biosensing techniques into miniaturized platforms. These devices enable rapid, sensitive, and cost-effective detection of biomolecules, offering significant advantages in clinical diagnostics, environmental monitoring, and point-of-care testing. With the growing demand for decentralized healthcare and real-time disease monitoring, LoC biosensors play a crucial role in advancing personalized medicine, infectious disease detection, and biomedical research. Recent advancements in materials science, fabrication techniques, and artificial intelligence (AI) integration have further enhanced the capabilities of LoC biosensors. Their ability to process small sample volumes, achieve high-throughput analysis, and deliver rapid results makes them an indispensable tool for modern healthcare and biotechnology. This Special Issue will explore the latest innovations in LoC biosensor technology, addressing key challenges and future directions.
The primary goal of this Special Issue is to highlight cutting-edge developments in lab-on-a-chip biosensors, showcasing novel designs, fabrication methods, and applications. By bringing together interdisciplinary research, this Special Issue will provide a comprehensive overview of state-of-the-art biosensing technologies and their impact on various fields. Given the journal's focus on miniaturized systems, microfluidics, and biosensor applications, this Special Issue aligns well with its scope. The collection of articles will feature fundamental research, experimental studies, and real-world applications, bridging the gap between scientific discovery and practical implementation.
To provide a structured exploration of lab-on-a-chip biosensors, we invite contributions under the following themes:
- Novel Biosensor Designs and Fabrication Techniques
- Microfluidic-based biosensors for rapid diagnostics;
- Nanomaterial-enhanced biosensing platforms;
- Three-dimensional-printed and flexible LoC biosensors.
