Advancements in Biosensors for Foodborne Pathogens Detection

Dear Colleagues,

Food safety is a paramount concern for both individuals and a nation's economy. The swift identification of foodborne pathogens plays a pivotal role in preserving food safety. Recent years have witnessed significant advancements in biosensor research, introducing fresh ideas in biomarker identification, miniaturization, and multiplex analysis within the realm of food safety. Additionally, innovations in microfluidics and other micro- and nano-scale devices have expanded the possibilities for deploying biosensors in on-site pathogen detection scenarios. This Special Issue offers a platform for researchers to share their unique contributions in the field of biosensors for foodborne pathogens detection, addressing this critical aspect of public health and economic stability.

The Special Issue invites submissions of original research, review articles, and short communications covering the following topics: 

• Electrochemical biosensors
• Fluorescent biosensors
• Screen-printed carbon electrodes
• Microfluidics
• Foodborne pathogens
• Label-free detection

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.
