Micro/Nanofluidics for Cell and Particle Manipulation

Dear Colleagues,

Manipulation techniques of micro/nanoparticles and cells have gained much attention in sample preparation and analysis for biological and clinical applications. Particularly, microfluidic techniques are widely used due to the advantages of fast processing time, small volume of samples and reagents, miniaturized size, and high accuracy at a reduced cost. Microfluidic particle/cell manipulation techniques are classified into two types: active and passive methods depending on the use of external force fields. In this Special Issue, a wide range of topics are covered, including the design and fabrication of novel microfluidic devices for particle/cell manipulation, numerical, and/or experimental analysis of microfluidic manipulation techniques, and applications of micro/nanofluidic techniques for biological and clinical applications.

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-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.
