Advances in Microfluidic Flow Cytometry

Dear Colleagues, 

In recent years, there has been an increase in demand for portable, low-cost, and compact microfluidic diagnostic devices for point-of-care testing. Microfluidic flow cytometry combines the microscale, on-chip capabilities of microfluidics with the powerful single-cell diagnostics of flow cytometry. Modern microfluidic cytometers, flow cytometers, and cell sorters allow for on-chip manipulation of fluid flow, cell focusing, and particle detection within a single portable, compact, self-contained device. The development of these on-chip devices provides an opportunity to deliver high-quality diagnostics in a portable and cost-effective manner to low socio-economic areas and developing countries. For the Micromachines Special Issue, Advances in Microfluidic Flow Cytometry, we invite submissions on all aspects of development and applications of microfluidic flow cytometry and microfluidic cytometry. Examples of topics include new technologies and functionalities of microfluidic flow cytometers, microfluidic cell sorters, microfluidic imaging flow cytometers, microfluidic cytometers, microfluidic imaging cytometers, and diagnostic and research applications for microfluidic cytometers and microfluidic flow cytometers. Contributions covering the engineering, design, research applications, clinical applications of microfluidic flow cytometers, microfluidic cytometers, cell sorters, imaging flow cytometers, and imaging cytometers will be considered.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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-anonymized 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.
