Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Microfluidic devices and micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) have revolutionized biological applications, such as biomedical diagnostics, biomarker monitoring, pathogen detection, therapeutic drug monitoring, environmental monitoring, and point-of-care testing. Microfluidic systems offer precise, low-volume, miniaturized, and high-throughput handling of biological samples, enabling rapid, portable, and cost-effective platforms for real-time analysis. This Special Issue focuses on the latest advancements of microfluidic technologies and MEMS in biological applications, with the inclusion of electronic signal processing and electronic control of microdevices, highlighting interdisciplinary efforts in device design, sensing strategies, and data-driven analysis. This Special Issue aims to shed light on these promising and dynamic research areas and will enable the gathering of original research articles and comprehensive reviews on the role of microfluidic biosensors and platforms for further improvement of this field in lab-on-a-chip devices, organ-on-a-chip platforms, point-of-care diagnostics, and preclinical studies.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Novel Microfluidic Platforms: Lab-on-a-chip systems for high-throughput and low-cost biological applications;
- MEMS-Based Sensors: Integration of mechanical, optical, and electrochemical biosensors;
- Microfluidic Materials: Use of nanomaterials, hydrogels, and responsive polymers in lab-on-a-chip system development;
- Wearable and Implantable Devices: MEMS and microfluidics for real-time health monitoring;
- Biomarker Detection: Microfluidic applications in cancer diagnostics, infectious diseases, and personalized medicine;
- AI and Automation: Machine learning-driven data analysis and autonomous microfluidic systems.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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. Electronics is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2400 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.
