Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) has firmly established itself as a reliable method for the label-free detection of biomolecular interactions, with significant application in biomedical diagnostics. The primary objective of this Special Issue is to review state-of-the-art innovative approaches and advanced tools for improved SPR detection in biomedical research. The second objective is to elucidate the clinical detection features of targets in complex matrices, such as blood, serum, urine, stool, or saliva, including immobilization methods, choice of recognition agent, and clinical sample pretreatment. This will highlight promising avenues for method improvement to achieve increased sensitivity and accuracy in biomedical detection.
The topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Kretschmann/grating-based SPR sensors, specifically recent achievements applied to biomedical diagnostics;
- SPR imaging biosensors for protein/biomarker detection in clinical samples;
- Two-dimensional material-based SPR sensors for biomedical diagnostics;
- Bioreceptor immobilization assay format;
- Hormone/biomarker/pathogen SPR detection.

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 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
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. Sensors 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 2600 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.
