Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The first concept of micro total analysis system (MicroTAS) was proposed in 1990, and microfluidic chips have developed into various fields over the past 30 years. The reaction time and applied reagents of microfluidic systems are faster and fewer than those using conventional methods, representing a revolutionary advancement on bio-assay processes. Microfluidics combined with biosensing technologies is one of the most vibrant research areas in this field. Biosensing technologies, such as electrochemical, optical, mechanical, and electrical detections realized on different microfluidic devices with various substrates, including glass, silicon, polymer or paper, are utilized to detect/analyze various targets, including nucleotide (DNA, RNA), proteins, enzymes, cells, tissues, and organs. This Special Issue is aiming at those advanced technologies through the incorporation of microfluidic and biosensing systems for biological/environmental/clinical 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.
