Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The recent pandemic together with the strict quality policies in the spirit of sustainable development have strengthened the need to develop portable devices for the monitoring of chemical parameters useful for the definition of health status, environmental pollution, and food safety. These should work in various environments, be available for use by untrained personnel, and be suitable for the analysis of complex sample systems. They allow a real-time control and even the continuous monitoring of specific biomarkers, e.g., aiming at giving a first alert of anomalous parameters indicating imminent outbreaks. In this scenario, electrochemical biosensors represent a well consolidated approach for the monitoring of different chemical parameters in complex matrices: they are versatile, robust, cheap, and easy to use. In addition to the inclusion of the most proper bioreceptor, they often require the involvement of suitable nanosized materials as well as innovative flexible or paper-based supports to confer to the overall sensor system the performance necessary for the application sought. In addition, the real-time monitoring of chemical parameters requires the realization of compact devices, possibly including automatic microfluidic systems and electronics for data transfer when a remote control is sought.
The aim of this Special Issue is to define the most recent advances in electrochemical biosensors to be used for the monitoring of biomarkers, environmental pollutants, and food contaminants.

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. 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.
