Optical Biosensors and Applications

Dear Colleagues,

Within the field of biosensor development, optical biosensors play a growing role in certain areas. The applications are broad and diverse; uses range from one’s concerning fundamental biological research to diagnostics in resource-limited settings, from environmental monitoring to uses in defense and security, and from agricultural uses to applications in personalized medicine.

This Special Issue aims to bring together recent advancements concerning the research and development of optical biosensors in a wide variety of disciplines. This Special Issue will cover, but is not limited to, the following areas:

• Optical biosensors;
• Immunosensors;
• Fiber-optical biosensors;
• Fluorescence-based biosensors;
• Microfluidics and optical integrated biosensor systems (lab-on-a-chip);
• Nanobiosensors;
• Resonant sensors;
• Waveguide sensors;
• DNA chips;
• Nucleic acid sensors;
• Protein chips;
• Microarray;
• Optical oxygen sensors;
• Optical glucose sensors;
• Wearable biosensors
• Biological flows;
• Aerodynamics;
• Wind tunnel testing;
• Pressure and temperature measurement.

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.
