Dear Colleagues,

After the successful accomplishment of the first Volume of the Special Issue entitled “Electrochemical (Bio-) Sensors in Biological Applications”, the Journal’s Editorial Board, in collaboration with the Guest Editors Dr. Nina Dimcheva (assoc. prof.), Prof. Dr. Cecilia Cristea and Prof. Dr. Sergey Shleev, is launching Volume II under the same title.  This Special Issue is dedicated to the electrochemical sensors and biosensors applicable in diseases diagnosis; clinical, pharmaceutical, agricultural, food and forensic analyses; and any other area of biological interest.

In addition to those already announced in the Volume I, the following topics may be addressed:

• Sensor design: the application of nanomaterials and bio-nanomaterials, hybrid materials, composites, biomimics or bio-inspired materials in sensor architecture, and the immobilization of bio receptors (proteins, nucleic acids, tissues, microorganisms, etc.) as a tool for its stabilization.
• Area of application: sensors/biosensors for disease diagnosis; clinical analysis, drug discovery and pharmacy; forensic science and food analyses; and any of other field of biological
• Sensor’s analytical performance: the selectivity of analysis in complex matrices, low detection limits, etc.

Volume II will focus also on cutting-edge sensing technologies, including the following:

- electronic noses and tongues;

- wearables and point-of-care (POC) devices;

- ingestible sensors for disease monitoring;

- molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) and nano-MIP-based sensors.

Both critical reviews and original research articles that address analytical aspects (selectivity, validation, etc.), the design of sensing devices and/or platforms (bioreceptor immobilization, use of bio-mimics, bio-inspired catalysts) or sensing principles 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. 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.
