Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The need for rapid and cost-effective analytical methodologies has led to the development of a wide variety of portable devices allowing on-site analysis. This Special Issue aims to compile the different portable devices to be developed for biological and chemical analytical applications, including the design and development of the device, as well as its physicochemical and/or analytical characterization and optimization. Their use, performance, challenges, and advantages are aspects to be discussed in this Special Issue.
Both original research articles and reviews are welcome. Topics may include (but are not limited to) the following: design and development of portable devices and/or smart materials, on-site biological and/or chemical analysis, and advantages of portable devices over conventional ones.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
