Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
A biosensor can detect the presence of analytes in a sample and consists of a receptor system, a transducer, and a readout system. In recent years, with the rapid development of micro/nano fabrication and microfluidics technologies, biosensors for assessing health, including POC technologies, have made great progress, owing to their selectivity, sensitivity, stability, and portability.
With functions like optical, electrochemical, and electrical characterization and with manipulation or/and detection abilities combined with microfluidics or other biosensing platforms, one can achieve fast, accurate, real-time, in situ, and multiplexed detections. These technologies are gradually being applied in many academic and industrial fields, such as healthcare, biochemistry, life sciences, food, water quality, and so on. This Special Issue will provide an opportunity for researchers to publish their original achievements related to integrated optical, electrochemical, and electrical biomicrofluidics.
This Special Issue welcomes both original research and review articles that address the following non-exhaustive list of topics:
- On-chip sensor fabrication, integration (optical, electrical, etc.) and packaging;
- Processing and fabrication of micro- and nano-devices;
- Modification of biosensing interfaces;
- Micro/nano biosensors/actuators;
- Microfluidic chips and systems integration;
- Silicon photonics;
- Electrochemical microfluidics;
- Bioimpedance microfluidics.

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 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.
