Biosensors in Monitoring and Diagnosis for Medical and Agricultural Applications

Dear Colleagues,

Biosensors, which can convert biological responses into electrical signals, have been effectively developed and applied in various fields, such as drug discovery, disease diagnosis, biomedicine, environmental monitoring, and food quality inspection. Recently, the desire of using biosensors as fast diagnostics for quicker and more sensitive detection has been elevated unprecedentedly due to the rapid community spread of the human coronavirus. It is therefore of paramount importance for scientists to enhance the efficiency and accuracy of biosensors, and further, increase the applications and market for this technology. Through integrating multifaceted approaches to design biosensors, researchers have the potential to break through current limitations of the biosensor technology. In light of this, the Special Issue, “Biosensors in Monitoring and Diagnosis for Medical and Agriculture Applications”, is a space for introducing novel technology of biosensors and their applications in all areas, such as the development of biosensors interfaces, the new materials of biosensors, the innovative design of integrated biosensor systems, and modern signal reading mechanisms of biosensors. In this Special Issue, we invite the publication of original research articles and review papers on a wide range of biosensors applications, including in biomedicine, biomedical diagnosis, environmental monitoring, agriculture, and the food industry.

We look forward to receiving your submissions!

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-anonymized 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.
