Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Microarray is a concept implementing multiple probes for a high-throughput parallel analysis. Over the two decades since the invention of the concept, several types of probes, ranging from small molecules, oligonucleotides, antibodies, proteins, and even whole organisms, such as viruses (e.g., bacteriophage), bacteria cells, and mammalian cells, have been utilized for high-throughput sensing in various types of research, such as biosensing and molecular biology studies. When integrated with microfluidic devices, the microarray technique becomes more powerful by reducing the reagent consumption and reaction time, with precise control of the microenvironment, and having a higher compatibility with the automated operation. This Issue intends to cover the technology involved in the integration of microarray and microfluidics, and the benefits/applications made possible by the integration.

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.
