Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Electrokinetic principles such as streaming current/potential, electrophoresis, electroosmosis, and dielectrophoresis have found a wide range of applications, including surface characterization, isolation, and enrichment of molecules and selective detection of biological particles and biomolecules. The electrokinetic principles offer benefits in terms of their scalability and integrability with state-of-the-art microfluidic designs, allowing a great deal of automation in both actuation and analysis of bioparticles and molecules. The advantages of electrokinetic phenomena also stem from their inherent ability to exploit mutiple physical parameters, including size, shape, and electric charges. To review the state-of-the-art of electrokinetics in biological application, we welcome, in this Special Issue of Micromachines, all original research or review articles on the theretical and applied aspects of the variety of electrokinetic phenomena toward biological application.

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 2600 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.
