Electrochemical Sensors and Biosensors for Food, Pharmaceutical Analysis and for Detection of Molecules of Biological and Clinical Interest

Dear Colleagues,

Electrochemical sensors have recently found extensive applications in diverse industries. Nowadays, many analytical instruments used in food, pharmaceutical, or clinical laboratories comprise chemical sensors as a whole or as a basic part.

Because of this importance and to showcase the various applications of this kind of device, the topic of this Special Issue is devoted to electrochemical sensors for applications in food, clinical, and pharmaceutical fields. Electrochemical sensors can offer such advantages as low detection limits, a wide linear response range, and good stability and reproducibility. The next generation of sensors will require improvements in sensitivity, selectivity, and accuracy to address the future challenges in the different application fields. The focus of this SI is to present and survey all the different kinds of electrochemical sensing, used materials, and target molecules to be determined.

In order to give an update of the recent progress in the electrochemical sensing area in terms of devices, materials, and target molecule, you are invited to submit your original articles or reviews.

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. Molecules is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2700 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.
