Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to invite contributions to this Special Issue on optical label-free biosensing. This innovative field lies at the intersection of chemistry, optics, biology, nanoscience, engineering, and materials science, and offers new and unique solutions to society's analytical needs.
The scope of this Special Issue is broad, ranging from fundamental studies at the proof-of-concept level to novel applications of label-free technologies in relevant scenarios. Our goal is to bring together the latest advancements in consolidated transduction systems (SPR, interferometry, SERS, fiber-based sensors, etc.) while also encouraging contributions on emerging materials and biosensing principles.
We welcome full-length research papers, short communications featuring groundbreaking preliminary results or significant findings, as well as review papers that comprehensively cover relevant aspects of optical label-free biosensing.
We look forward to your participation in this Special Issue.
Dr. Miquel Avella-Oliver
Prof. Dr. Ángel Maquieira

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.
