Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue aims to collect the latest advancements in biosensor technologies across the biomedical, environmental, and food sectors. As the demand for rapid, accurate, and portable detection systems grows, biosensors have emerged as transformative tools for real-time monitoring, diagnostics, and quality control.
This Special Issue seeks to bring together cutting-edge research that explores novel biosensor designs, innovative materials, and signal transduction mechanisms.
In the biomedical domain, we welcome studies that focus on point-of-care diagnostics, disease biomarker detection, and personalized health monitoring. For environmental applications, submissions addressing pollution detection, water quality assessment, and ecological monitoring are encouraged. In the food industry, we aim to feature research on contamination detection, freshness assessment, and food authentication.
This interdisciplinary Special Issue will serve as a platform for scientists, engineers, and technologists to share breakthroughs and foster collaboration. By showcasing the versatility and impact of biosensors across diverse fields, we hope to inspire new approaches that address global health, environmental, and safety challenges.

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.
