Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Lab-on-a-chip (LoC) technologies are advancing approaches in metabolic and biochemical research through high-performance analytical processes. LoC enables scalable, cost-efficient methods by reducing sample and reagent consumption while allowing for real-time biological monitoring processes across a wide range of scientific fields such as biochemistry and molecular biology, drug screening, CRISPR-based microfluidic screening systems, analytical chemistry, nanotechnology, and environmental-related sciences.
This Special Issue aims to showcase the state-of-the-art in LoC technologies for high-performance metabolic and biochemical analysis by including the development, optimization, and application of these technologies. We are looking forward to receiving your contributions in the form of original research and review articles and short communications that address, but are not limited to, the following:
- Innovative microfabrication methods and novel materials for LoC devices.
- Biosensor integration, microfluidic devices, and advanced detection methods.
- LoC applications in clinical diagnostics, drug screening, metabolic profiling, and systems biology.
- Automation, data analysis strategies, and scalable high-performance screening platforms.
- Emerging directions in standardization, reproducibility, and LoC implementation technologies.

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.
