Recent Advances in Biophotonics Sensors

Dear Colleagues,

The emergence of SARS-CoV2 in late 2019 and the ensuing pandemic underscore the need for rapid and robust sensor platforms for the detection of biological matter such as bacteria and viruses. Biphotonic sensors are the class of optical sensors that satisfy the criteria for both speed and robustness in the face of current challenges. We are soliciting manuscripts for a Special Issue of Sensors that will focus on both theoretical and experimental advances in biophotonic sensors. The variety of approaches can include but are not limited to platforms that utilize fluorescence, Raman, absorption spectroscopy, or other photonic sensing techniques. Such sensor platforms are ideal for trace detection of a host of biological analytes, such as DNA, protein, bacteria, and virus. We welcome contributions of original research or comprehensive reviews that illustrate the diversity and importance of this exciting area of research.

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.
