Electrochemical Sensors for Determination of Biomolecules

Dear Colleagues,

The monitoring of biomolecules has attracted much scientific attention due to their importance in multiple physiological and pathological functions within organisms. This class of compounds has been intensively studied to determine their potential roles as biomarkers for the early diagnosis of various diseases or as targets for drug candidates. There is growing demand for faster and more reliable analytical methods that allow for rapid and accurate quantification of biomolecules. Compared with the frequently used analytical methods (liquid and gas chromatography, capillary electrophoresis, mass spectrometry) or immunochemical assays (ELISA), electrochemical sensors offer several inherent advantages, being rapid, affordable, miniaturized, and user-friendly assays. The present Special Issue is dedicated to presenting recent achievements in electrochemical (bio)sensors for the determination of biomolecules. Both review articles and original research papers are welcome. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, recent developments in the following research areas:

- electrochemical determination of biomolecules;

- electrochemical detection in combination with separation techniques;

- determination on modified and unmodified electrodes;

- fabrication of sensors and new strategies for electrode surface modification;

- improvement of the sensitivity of determination of biomolecules;

- develoments in method selectivity;

- overcoming the interference of co-existence of compounds in real sample analysis;

- new methodologies for sample preparation for electrochemical detection;

- application in the analysis of biological fluids, pharmaceuticals, food and environmental samples.

We look forward to reviewing your submissions for this forthcoming Special Issue.

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.
