Fluorescence and Chemical Luminescence Sensors

Dear Colleagues,

The aim of this Special Issue is to bring together researchers active in the development of chemo- and biosensors based on fluorescence and general luminescence technologies, methods, or protocols.

Optical sensors (chemo- and biosensors) are analytical tools that have successful applications in many fields, from clinical diagnostics and life science to food safety and environmental monitoring. Work on classical methods or assay formats are welcome in this Special Issue, as well as those based on innovative techniques such as new materials, advanced optical setup, innovative chemical and biochemical receptors and/or luminescence reporters for increased specificity and sensitivity, new assay design, innovative detection principles, microfluidics, and integrated systems. Manuscripts on overcoming challenges, related, for example, to the real-world application of fluorescence and chemical luminescence chemo- and biosensors are also appreciated.

We cordially invite you to share, in the form of articles or reviews, you expertise and insights with the sensor research community.

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.
