Recent Progress of Lab-on-a-Chip Assays

Dear Colleagues, 

This Special Issue of Micromachines, titled “Lab-on-a-Chip Assays”, hopes to cover all aspects of the microfluidic platform applied to sensors, including original research and review papers to be considered for publication. The aim of this Special Issue is to highlight 3D printed devices, wearable devices, biosensors, point-of-care testing, lateral flow assays, immunoassay and nanomaterials. We invite the submission of full research papers, review articles and communications covering the related topics. Lab-on-a-chip assays (LoCAs) are a promising strategy for analysis, including food safety detection, environmental analysis and clinical diagnostics. LoCAs are integrated into small devices to build wearable devices that provide an important basis, for example for the real-time monitoring of athletes’ movements (blood glucose, pH, etc). Meanwhile, LoCA devices and sensors for bioanalysis, point-of-care testing and wearable sensors are also gaining popularity.

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. 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.
