Micro/Nano Biosensors in Healthcare Applications

Dear Colleagues,

Over the past decade, a growing number of micro/nano biosensors have been developed to revolutionize healthcare owing to their excellent sensing performance, small size, small sample requirements, and low cost. Moreover, the gap between laboratory and industry in healthcare applications can be minimized by changing traditional laboratory instruments into novel portable devices using advanced micro/nano fabrication and modification (e.g., photolithography, sputtering, electrodeposition, spin-coating, etc.), which we believe is crucial for developing a reliable health monitoring hand-held system for self-diagnosis. The highlights of this Special Issue will mainly aim for recent developments in micro-/nano-scale biosensors as well as present cutting-edge technologies in relevant fields, including various micro/nano manufacturing processes, novel sensing platforms, nanomaterial implementation and modification, and determination concepts, which may contribute as key factors in the expansion of related studies. The scope of this Special Issue includes, but is not limited to:

• Health monitoring using micro/nano biosensors;
• Micro/nano scale fabrication;
• Electrochemical, electrical, and optical-based biosensors;
• Integration of sensors and electronics as portable sensing systems;
• Simultaneous sensing of multiple analytes related to bodily conditions;
• Low-cost fabrication of biosensors.

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.
