Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Fluorescent and colorimetric sensors are powerful tools in diagnostics and drug analysis, offering sensitive and selective detection of biological and chemical analytes. Fluorescent sensors rely on changes in fluorescence intensity, wavelength, or lifetime in response to a target molecule, providing high sensitivity and real-time monitoring capabilities. Colorimetric sensors, on the other hand, induce visible color changes upon interacting with a target, making detection simple and cost-effective, often without the need for complex instrumentation. Both sensor types are widely used in medical diagnostics, environmental monitoring, and pharmaceutical analysis, aiding in the rapid, accurate identification of disease markers, pathogens, and drugs. Their versatility and ease of use make them essential in modern healthcare and research applications.

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.
