Biomedical Microdevices: State of the Art and Trends

Dear Colleagues,

Biomedical microdevices are broadly defined as the integration of electrochemical/mechanical systems with molecular/biological methods, with applications in environmental and health sectors and, subsequently, with high impact on society and business segments. In recent decades, miniaturization has undergone a resounding evolution, conferring versatility and simplicity to the systems along with time-to-result and cost-per-test savings. The development of new materials and fabrication and integration of different techniques have been enabling new and innovative approaches.

This Special Issue seeks to showcase research papers, short communications, and review articles that focus on the state of the art and new trends of biomedical devices. We welcome manuscripts based on all aspects of biomedical microfluidic devices, including, but not exclusively, novel designs, nanomaterials and nanotechnology, nucleic acid analysis, cellular and molecular detection, cell enrichment, drug delivery, proteins, tissue and organ on chip, lab-on-a-chip, and point-of-care diagnostics.

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.
