Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nanomaterials, with their unique physicochemical properties, hold immense potential in the field of biochemical sensors. They enhance sensor sensitivity and selectivity, improving signal transmission efficiency. Metal nanostructures, such as gold and silver nanoparticles, are widely used in biomolecule detection due to their Surface-Enhanced Raman Scattering (SERS) effect, enabling the high-sensitivity analysis of disease biomarkers. SERS technology offers in situ, non-destructive detection, fingerprint identification, and single-molecule level analysis, which is crucial for bio-chem sample analysis. SERS biochemical sensors typically qualitatively and quantitatively analyze target analytes based on changes in Raman-tagged molecular signals, encompassing target recognition and capture, the preparation of SERS substrates, and signal reading. Researchers have conducted outstanding studies in nanomaterial fabrication, probe design, and Raman spectral signal reading and analysis. The combination of nanomaterial technology and Raman spectroscopy in biochemistry sensing provides a new analytical method with high sensitivity and selectivity for biomolecule detection. With advancements in nanotechnology and Raman spectroscopy, SERS applications in the biosensing and imaging analysis of biomarkers, tumor cells, and microorganisms will become more extensive.

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.
