Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The area of Opto-Microfluidics involves microsystems formed by integrating microfluidics and microphotonics or micro optical or nano photonics elements for various applications. Some of the bio applications would include biosensing, bio diagnosis, cell sorting, cell counting, prognosis, etc. This special issue will address challenges involved with integration and application specific issues when micro photonics/micro optics/nano photonics elements are integrated.

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.
