Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Microfluidics has become a transformative technology, offering innovative solutions for critical challenges in health and environmental applications. Recent advancements in microfluidic systems have revolutionized the detection, monitoring, and treatment of diseases, while also enabling more effective environmental monitoring and pollution mitigation. These versatile platforms, which integrate micro/nanoscale engineering with precision diagnostics, are paving the way for faster, more sensitive, and portable solutions in a wide array of fields.
This Special Issue focuses on the latest research and innovations in microfluidics for health and environmental applications. We invite submissions from researchers in academia, industry, and government to share their findings, methodologies, and perspectives on a variety of topics, including the following:
- Microfluidic systems for environmental pollution detection and mitigation;
- Lab-on-a-chip platforms for healthcare diagnostics and monitoring;
- Microfluidic-based technologies for drug discovery, delivery, and personalized medicine;
- Novel biosensors for detecting contaminants in food and water;
- Microfluidic innovations for sustainable environmental and agricultural applications.
We encourage the submission of original research articles, comprehensive reviews, and short communications. By bringing together diverse expertise, this Special Issue aims to showcase cutting-edge developments, address challenges, and highlight future opportunities in microfluidics research.
We look forward to your contributions and to advancing the impact of microfluidics on health and environmental science.
Dr. Yang Lin

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. Micromachines 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 2100 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.
