Electrochemical Sensors for Biological Detection

Dear Colleagues,

Electrochemical sensors have been widely used to detect biological molecules or events. They can achieve extremely sensitive and selective detection of biological molecules by combining biological molecules with specific biorecognition elements (such as antibodies and enzymes) on the electrode surface. This technology can detect biomarkers, pathogens, drug residues, etc., and has important applications in biomedical diagnostics, food safety monitoring, environmental pollution detection, and other fields. In addition, electrochemical sensors have advantages such as real-time monitoring, simplicity, speed, and low cost, providing new technical means and solutions for research and application in biological detection. Therefore, researching and developing electrochemical sensors is of great significance for advancing biological detection technology improving the accuracy and sensitivity of biological detection. We would like to discuss and collect the electrochemical sensors for biological detection in this special issue. We welcome reviews and research articles related (but not limited) to the following topics:

• Clinical biomarkers, environmental indicators, and food component biomonitoring.
• Novel target and biological recognition elements.
• Novel identification and signal transfer processes.
• Interface mechanisms of electrochemical biosensors.
• Electrode surface treatment and coating.
• Electrochemical biosensor applications in biological 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 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. 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.
