Selected Papers from the 3rd International Conference of Microfluidics, Nanofluidics and Lab-on-a-Chip
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The 3rd International Conference of Microfluidics, Nanofluidics, and Lab-on-a-Chip (ICMFLOC 2021) will be held in Shenzhen, China during 2-4 July 2021 2020. This conference is intended to provide a forum for researchers, educators, and practitioners around the world to exchange the most advanced scientific knowledge on research in microfluidics, nanofluidics, and lab-on-a-chip technology, and to inspire new efforts to expand the frontiers of these research and development. Specific topics include but are not limited to the following:
- Fundamentals in Micro and Nanoflows
- Droplets, Bubbles and Digital Microfluidics
- Electrokinetic Flows
- Single Cell Analysis
- Detection and Sensing Techniques
- Applications of Lab on a Chip
- Optofluidics, Acoustic Fluidics, and Magnetic Fluidics
- Particles, Cells and Organisms
- Sample Processing and Separation
- Heat and Mass Transfer at Micro and Nano Scales
- Organ on a Chip and Drug Screening
- Micro and Nanoengineering
- Commercialization of Lab on a Chip Technologies
This Special Issue will publish selected papers from ICMFLOC 2021. These papers will be peer-reviewed for the validation of research results, developments, and applications. In addition, submissions from others that are not associated with this conference but with themes focusing on microfluidics, nanofluidics, and lab-on-a-chip technology are also welcome.

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.
Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
