Mass Spectrometry for Quantitative Analysis in Biological Samples

Dear Colleague,

Mass spectrometry is an analysis technology that enables the detection of high sensitivity according to mass through ionization, acceleration, separation, and detection of samples. Mass spectrometry technologies such as LC-MS, GC-MS, MALDI-TOF MS, and tandem mass spectrometry have been developed for various fields, including environmental analysis, drug analysis, and biological sample analysis. In recent years, various studies have been reported on a wide range of topics, from the analysis of single substances to omics, including proteomics and metabolomics. Since biomarker molecules are distributed in very small amounts in biological samples, it is necessary to develop a highly sensitive quantification method. Mass spectrometry, which can provide rapid analysis, small-volume analysis, and sensitive analysis, has the potential to grow as a new diagnostic paradigm in the medical field.

This Special Issue aims to provide the latest advances in mass spectrometry for quantitative analysis in biological samples. Various techniques, such as pretreatment techniques for detecting molecules in biological samples, chromatography techniques, and matrix materials for ionization, will be appropriate for this Special Issue. In addition to the subject areas presented in the keywords below, all quantitative analysis work using mass spectrometry is also welcome. Both review articles and original research papers will be considered for publication.

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. Chemosensors 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.
