Analytical Chemistry in Europe: Towards Sustainability and Quality of Life, 3rd Edition

Dear Colleagues,

Due to the success of the previous Special Issues, we are pleased to announce the opening of this third edition of the Special Issue "Analytical Chemistry in Europe: Towards Sustainability and Quality of Life, 3rd Edition". This Special Issue intends to gather full scientific papers, short communications, and review articles covering novel analytical and bioanalytical methods and technologies that have a huge societal impact, as well as technologies that are sufficiently innovative, robust, and accurate compared to other methods currently available for the intended application. Developments that use interdisciplinary approaches are particularly welcome, and systems should be proven with suitably complex and analytically challenging samples.

Presenting a very broad scope, this Special Issue welcomes papers covering, but not limited to, the following technologies and emergent applications: global health; point-of-care and molecular diagnostics; biosensors and bioengineering; drug development and pharmaceutical analyses; microfluidics and nanotechnology; omics analyses (such as proteomics, metabolomics, or glycomics); environmental, veterinary, agricultural, and food science; neuroscience; biochemical, clinical, and forensic analyses; and the development of industrial processes and methods.

This Special Issue will provide an excellent collection of academic papers and will act as a reference tool for researchers, particularly those working in the fields of biotechnology, medicine, food sciences, pharmaceutical sciences, chemistry, toxicology, and biology, including health and industry professionals.

We are looking forward to receiving your contributions.

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. Molecules is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
