State-of-the-Art Ultra-Low Field Techniques and Magnetic Nanoprobe for the Application on Biochemistry

Dear Colleagues,

Magnetic nanoprobes have great potential in biochemical applications, because of their biocompatibility, magnetism responsiveness, and favorable biomolecule-comparable sizes. The development of ultra-low field (ULF) techniques allows for the direct detection of in situ magnetic nanoprobes because of the low magnetic background of biological samples, which enables highly sensitive sensing and imaging. Recent developments of ULF techniques include giant magnetoresistance sensors, superconducting quantum interference devices, atomic magnetometers and magnetic particle imaging, among others. The precise determination of the position and quantity of the magnetic nanoprobes is critical for their chemical and biological applications.

This Special Issue aims to provide a broad overview of the most recent developments in ULF techniques and magnetic nanoprobes for their application in biochemistry. Contributions (including full papers, communications and reviews) concerning reports or overviews on new methodologies, techniques, or materials in the biochemical applications of ULF techniques or magnetic nanoprobes 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 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.

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.
