Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Electrokinetic phenomena—such as electroosmosis, electrophoresis, and dielectrophoresis—play a fundamental role in the manipulation and transport of ions, molecules, and particles in microfluidic and nanofluidic systems. These phenomena are critical for enhancing the functionality and performance of miniaturized sensing platforms, particularly electrochemical sensors.
In the last few decades, the combination of electrokinetics and electrochemical sensors has enabled unprecedented opportunities to develop miniaturized systems for the analysis and detection of ions and molecules. Electrochemical sensing technology possesses the advantages of high sensitivity, easy fabrication, and low cost, which are indispensable for biochemical analysis, environmental monitoring, biotechnological processes, and the food industry.
With this Special Issue, we want to highlight the recent advances in the electrokinetic and electrochemical sensing field, including but not limited to newly developed techniques, novel developments or applications of electrochemical sensing approaches, and the investigation of novel electrokinetic phenomena. Theoretical, numerical and experimental research papers, short communications, and review articles are 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 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.
