Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to invite contributions to this Special Issue focusing on microfluidic-based point-of-care technologies for disease diagnosis, screening and monitoring. This Special Issue will report the latest advances in microfluidic technologies that can potentially be used for the rapid detection of critical disease biomarkers with minimal training.
The advance of microfluidics for point-of-care diagnostic platforms requires a broad range of knowledge and expertise from physics, chemistry, biology, as well as electrical, mechanical, chemical, material and biomedical engineering. Therefore, we invite contributions to this Special Issue from a broad community. We are particularly interested in works that focus on the development of novel methods for rapid, real-time biomarker detection, system miniaturization and the integration of novel technological components into microfluidic platforms for point-of-care applications.
We look forward to scientifically sound work presented in clear, concise and logical writing. The work should be thoughtfully analyzed and written for the diverse microfluidics community.
Dr. Yuguang Liu
Guest Editor
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.
