Dear Colleagues,

Almost 60 years ago, the first enzymatic biosensor for the detection of blood glucose was investigated. Since this time, the rapid development of different transducer techniques as well as the exploration of new applications have been observed and many of them have been applied to commercial products.

Recently, fascinating progress has been observed. A few examples are new fields of application like pharmaceutical screening and environmental analysis; the introduction of nanomaterials like nanotubes and nanoparticles; miniaturized electrode arrays; complex enzymatic systems for signal enhancement; and electro-optical biosensors. Complex arrays of semiconductor devices as well as all types of miniaturized electrodes are now the state of the art in this field. In particular, the introduction of various nanomaterials has introduced new and wide-ranging possibilities in the entire field of sensors. Moreover, a huge number of miniaturized optical sensor systems as well as hybrid sensors have been developed.

Authors are kindly invited to contribute to this Special Issue. Manuscripts should cover new applications and/or innovative sensor technologies based on one or more enzymes. All types of transducer techniques (electric devices, optical devices, magnetic devices, hybrid devices, nanoparticles, lab on a chip, etc.) are welcome, especially those which are miniaturized.

Both original research papers and review articles will be accepted.

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.
