Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Biosensors are analytical devices that are employed to detect, identify, and quantify numerous biological, chemical and other target analytes with the assistance of a biological recognition element. Recent advances in micro/nano optics technologies have significantly improved these devices’ viability for biomedical purposes such as healthcare and medicine, food industry, chemical industry, agriculture, environmental monitoring, etc.
A micro/nano optical biosensor integrates a biorecognition element with an micro/nano transducer, which analyses the change in the properties of light that result from the interaction of the biorecognition element with the analyte. The distinct advantages offered by micro/nano optics biosensors, such as rapid detection, real-time operation, efficacy, label-free detection, and robustness, make them superior to many other conventional biosensing techniques, and various micro/nano technologies have offered new opportunities to further improve the sensitivity, selectivity, response time and biocompatibility of biosensors in light of their physical, chemical, electrical and electrochemical properties.
In conclusion, this Special Issue aims to highlight the most recent and promising micro/nano technologies utilized in the development of biosensors for biomedical applications.

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. Biosensors is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2700 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.
