Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Recently, the use of microwave sensors as biochips in medical applications has been widely studied as a viable approach for non-invasive label-free detection of various diseases. The microwave biochip provides non-invasive detection and diagnostics through the characterization and modeling of various biological fluids, which has proved its applicability in medical applications. The advancement in microwave technology is supported by high throughput, and non-destructive detection capabilities with less power consumption, which enable its compatibility with lab-on-a-chip technology.
The potential scope includes, but is not limited to, the following:
- Non-invasive microwave sensor for medical diagnostics
- Microwave biosensor as a lab-on-a-chip technology
- Dielectric detection
- Capacitive sensing
- Characterization and modeling of various biological fluids

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.
