Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In the diagnostic field, nanotechnology-based electrochemical biosensors are used to detect biomarkers related to several diseases. However, the majority of biomarker diagnostic testing is not performed at the point-of-care (POC); rather, it is conducted in centrally located facilities that are far away from the patient care site because these facilities have the required tools and personnel. This results in an increase in waiting times and testing costs.
Because biosensor-based nanotechnology can be affordable, reliable, and readily available at the point of treatment, it will aid in the solution of these issues. Using innovative nanomaterials as transducers is one way to enhance biosensor performance. Among the various types of biosensors, nanomaterial-based electrochemical biosensors have shown great promise.
Nanomaterial-based biosensors have strength, repeatability, and sensitivity, which, when combined with their small size, large surface area, and interfaces, have proved to be quite advantageous. Moreover, they offer new immobilization structures with improved aspects, significant electrical conductivity, and a greater number of biomolecules per area/volume. Thus, nanomaterials will play a crucial role in the fabrication of an ideal point of care application of electrochemical biosensors.
The aim of this Special Issue is to collect novel electrochemical biosensors based on nanotechnologies for biomarker monitoring in different research fields. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Nanomaterials;
- Biosensors;
- Electrochemical techniques;
- Point-of-care;
- Smart devices.
We invite authors to submit manuscripts for this Special Issue on “Nanotechnology-Based Electrochemical Biosensors”. Original research papers and critical reviews 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-anonymized peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Nanomaterials 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 2400 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.
