Microfluidic Sensors

Dear Colleagues,

The field of microfluidics is attracting an increasing amount of interest, both in the worlds of academia as well as industry. Indeed, a wide plethora of sensing methods in the fields of biology, nanomedicine, physics, chemistry, material science and nanotechnology have already been presented. Microfluidics is little by little reaching maturity and progressively showing its potential regarding enabling measurements that would otherwise not be feasible or viable. However, it still remains a challenging field due to its strong interdisciplinary nature; thus, in order to develop suitable solutions, a combination of knowledge from different fields, ranging from materials science to photonics and microelectronics, from fluidics to molecular biology, is required.

This Topical Collection aims to collect the latest research in the field of microfluidic sensors as essential elements for a variety of applications. Contributions may refresh the state-of-the-art technology, specify the benefits of emerging technologies, or investigate novel schemes and applications, topics of interest including, but not limited to:

• Microfluidic sensor design, fabrication and characterization;
• Medical, industrial, consumer and environmental applications of microfluidic sensors;
• Lab applications for analytical chemistry, biochemistry and biology;
• Microfluidic sensors for toxicological testing.

We look forward to receiving your submissions.

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.
