Microfluidic Devices for Bioactive Compound Monitoring

Dear Colleagues,

In the last few decades, bioactive compounds have attracted the attention of researchers worldwide due to their potential to benefit human health. Their effect on physiological, behavioral, and immunological responses has been extensively evaluated. This ever-increasing interest in monitoring bioactive compounds has created demand for sensitive and reliable analytical techniques that combine a short analysis time, portability, versatility, and a low cost.

For this Special Issue, entitled “Microfluidic Devices for Bioactive Compound Monitoring”, we welcome the submission of original research and review articles that focus on the development and/or application of microfluidic devices for the analysis of bioactive compounds, including carotenoids, flavonoids, polyphenols, phytosterols, phytoestrogens, glucosinolates, dithiolthiones, terpenoids, alkaloids, glycosides, and vitamins. Articles with a high level of scientific rigor will be considered for peer review.

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.
